Summit Cycle

What Summit Cycle does

Summit Cycle is a private, founder-owned indoor cycling studio operating from a single location at 24 Rue Feydeau in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, with registered headquarters at 5 Rue des Renaudes in the 17th arrondissement. Founded in spring 2018 by sisters Camille Berteloot and Antoinette Tauzinat, the company operates as a French SAS (Société par actions simplifiée) with €50,000 of share capital. Each 45-60 minute coached class is delivered on 40 Keiser M3i connected bikes whose integrated electronic consoles capture per-rider RPM, GEAR (resistance 1-24), Watts, Kcal, distance, and optional heart rate via Polar Bluetooth monitors. Real-time performance is projected in-studio and aggregated through the third-party Spivi platform, which powers the proprietary SEP (Spivi Ecosystem Points) normalized scoring system and the customer's longitudinal performance record.

The commercial offering is built around virtual credits (packs of 1-20 credits, valid up to 12 months) and an unlimited monthly subscription priced at €180 with a 3-month commitment or €220 without. A secondary B2B revenue stream is delivered through the Corporate Team Challenge, where 5-person teams from Paris-based companies compete across month-long scoring windows, supplemented by private studio rentals and individual/duo personal coaching sessions. Ancillary services include complimentary SPD shoes, towels, toiletries, lockers, and an on-site food-delivery partnership. Distribution combines direct online booking (powered by Bsport, with Stripe payments), ClassPass and Gymlib marketplace listings, a referral/parrainage program, and recurring themed challenges such as the Individual Challenge and Challenge Duo.

Summit Cycle serves two distinct customer segments: urban Paris fitness consumers who buy credits or subscriptions for individual use, and Paris-based corporate teams that purchase challenge packs for team-building competitions. Marketing is conducted almost exclusively through organic Instagram and Facebook, word-of-mouth, and the referral program, supplemented by a 2025 technical partnership with athletic-wear brand Oysho. The company holds no institutional investment, has not raised funding, and has no disclosed revenue, patents, or app; it is a tightly scoped single-location boutique fitness operator differentiated by connected-bike technology, a named coaching team, and gamified community mechanics.
