RateYourBurn | Fitness instructors & trainers, reviews of Danny Kopel

Danny is such a character and I loved every second of his class. I had seen Danny a few times after or before a class and he'd always say hello and smile warmly. I'm pretty sure he had no idea who...

I think it is safe to say I have had some unusual events happen at several Soul-Cycle classes.  Lucky for me, almost all of them have been to my advantage.  And even though several classes have...

This was my first class with Danny and my first class at the new NOHO studio. First of all, Danny is amazing. So fabulous. Everything you've read and heard about him is true! The high kicks? YES!...

It was a cold, gross, rainy day in NYC and I trekked down all the way to Union Square to take a class with Danny, because I'd heard so much about him and I was really...

Danny and I are buds. In my mind at least. His class (if you can get in) is absolutely mind bogglingly amazing. I love it. I love the music, I love the hills, I love the insane everything. He is...

I took my first SoulCycle class with Danny last June when he had long dark hair with blonde streaks.  I was a new rider and thinking to myself "who the F is this guy."  I was hooked...

There are SO many people raving about Danny on this site that I've held off writing a review until now because let's be honest, he doesn't need it. His classes are perfect and he shouldn't...

Danny is really an amazing instructor. He is so young but he has a spark that is wonderful. He puts on a performance-type ride, doing crazy dancing and funny voices, but he also gets you really...

My friend took me to my first soulcycle class this past Friday w/ Danny. After reading everyone's ridiculously positive reviews, I figured it would be an awesome class. What was awesome, was what I...

Danny has done the impossible and turned spin into performance art.  Had told me this in 2006 when I first started spinning (led by an ex-marine instructor in Boston who would basically yell at you...

Danny's class is always a great pickmeup. FUN music, amazing energy. The crowd runs younger for his classes, but maybe that's just a Union Square thing. I wish he could have us do fewer running...

Holy shit, I am obsessed with Danny. And I can’t stop grinning like an idiot.

On Danny:

Oh, did you guess? Yes, he’s my favorite kind: a total weirdo. I love my weirdo instructors. First of...

Truth be told, up until about 2 months ago, the only way I was willing to pay for a SoulCycle class was if I was taking it with one specific famed instructor.  If I didn't get in to her class, I...

As I rode in Danny's class this morning (YES! he is the sub for Laurie's 8:30am Saturdays at UNSQ for the summer WOO!), I was thinking that Danny is a magical mix of many different things.  Since I...

after a few months of cycling, i had the realization that the survivor classes are the same price as the regular ones, so why not get more bang for my buck, right? this is how sweaty survivor...
