North Scottsdale just got a new reason to clip in, turn it up, and let the outside world wait in the lobby.
NYX Cycle + Fitness has expanded with NYX NORTH, its second Arizona studio and the next chapter for a Scottsdale-born fitness brand that has been building serious momentum since opening its first Arizona location in 2024. The new 3,300-square-foot studio sits at 9719 N. Hayden Road, Suite C, bringing NYX’s music-driven rides, elevated studio design, and community-first energy farther north.
Founded by Jeff Hohl, Kelle Hohl, Holland Scattergood, Demar Jackson, and Kristin Cangemi, NYX has never really played the “just another spin studio” game. Its South Scottsdale studio has welcomed more than 7,000 unique riders, powered by instructors with loyal followings, an inclusive approach, and a culture built around connection as much as cardio. Translation: yes, riders will sweat. But they may also find their people.
The NYX experience blends high-intensity interval-based cardio with strength training, all set to a soundtrack that does more than keep pace. The brand describes its mission as a mix of NYC’s fashion-forward spirit and Phoenix’s fitness drive, which explains the studio’s slick-meets-sweaty point of view.
The class lineup is built for riders who like their workouts with rhythm, resistance, and a little drama. NYX offers 45-minute cycling classes, 45-minute cycling classes with weights, and 60-minute cycling classes with weights, creating options for everyone from first-timers to regulars chasing that next-level burn.
“We believe the most transformative fitness experiences begin with the energy, authenticity, and leadership of the instructor at the front of the room,” NYX Co-Founder Holland Scattergood says. “Our team includes some of the most respected and sought-after instructors in the local fitness community, creating experiences that members look forward to week after week – no matter your fitness level or experience.”
Beyond weekly classes, NYX NORTH also offers private rides for special occasions, including bachelorette parties, birthdays, and community impact events. Because apparently the new group hang is not brunch. It is brunch after everyone survives the bike.
Riders can book classes through the NYX website or the NYX Cycle + Fitness app. The studio also offers water service, lockers, spin shoe rentals, and an experience designed to feel polished without feeling intimidating. NYX’s own etiquette keeps the vibe refreshingly human, too: respect the room, leave judgment at the door, stay present, and ride like those 45 minutes are sacred.
The expansion comes as NYX continues growing beyond its physical studios. The brand launched NYX+ Beyond the Studio in early 2026, reaching members across six continents and 39 countries, proving the Scottsdale sweat scene has a little global main character energy, too.
For riders who want access across both Arizona studios, NYX offers an All-Access Membership for unlimited classes at both the South and North Scottsdale locations. Drop-in credits, class packs, and studio-specific memberships are also available.
