After years of working in environments where I struggled to feel seen or safe, I wanted to create a place where people could show up just as they are, take a deep breath, and feel better—body, mind, and spirit.
That vision became Pedal Works Café & Studios, a warm, welcoming space in midtown Kingston where people come to move, connect, and feel at home. Whether you’re taking a Spinning® class, stretching into stillness, sipping a latte, or admiring local art, every element of our space is designed with intention to invite ease, curiosity, and community.
Our tagline—Sip. Cycle. Unwind.—captures it best. We’re not a gym. We’re not just a café. We’re a community hub where members find more than a class or a coffee.
They find belonging. We’ve seen people go from first-timers to Spinning® Instructors, yoga regulars, and even small business collaborators. In fact, some of our most meaningful partnerships started with someone walking through our doors just to check things out.
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a local entrepreneur is that connection is everything. At Pedal Works Café & Studios, we build intentional relationships with other small businesses, including Jobwell Enterprises, Cha Cha Tea, Nosh Bagels, Keboanish, and D'vine Connextions Corp., a women-led, direct trade coffee exporter based in Kingston.
We offer our members exclusive discounts with other partner businesses (J&J Cycle, Cher Mère Spa, Kingston Shoe Repair & Black Dog Group of Restaurants) in exchange for cross-promotion—a collaboration model that’s helped all of us grow.
Our café is also a space where ideas spark—used often for casual business meetings, networking chats, and creative exchanges. And when it’s time to celebrate life’s milestones, our event rental space transforms for baby showers, celebration of life gatherings, business launches, milestone birthdays, and anniversaries.
Creating Pedal Works Café & Studios has taught me that when we design spaces that feel safe and inclusive, the community shows up—and thrives. If you’re looking for a space that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit—you’ll find it here.
