Popular spin studio SoulCycle permanently closes its King Street location

Spin studio SoulCycle has closed its King Street location permanently.

The popular spin studio’s first Canadian location at King and Spadina first opened on March 2, 2017.

The company said that the closure is due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“One of the devastating effects of this global pandemic was having to make the heartbreaking decision to permanently close our King Street studio,” said the company in an email to its members.

“What’s even harder to swallow was the news being broken to you by someone other than us.”

The company went on to say their relationship with this KING community is “so valuable to us, and we would never leave you in the dark.”

“Our intention was to sit down with our staff and instructors before sharing the news with our riders, to give this place we’ve called home for so long a proper goodbye,” read the letter.

SoulCycle’s Yorkville location remains in Toronto, and the company said it is working on safely reopening it.
