Zengo Cycle Riding into Kentlands in December 2014
Zengo Cycle, the first fully-dedicated indoor cycling studio in the D.C. metro area, plans to open a new studio in Kentlands this winter.

Zengo Cycle, the first fully-dedicated indoor cycling studio in the Washington, D.C. metro area, is pleased to announce plans to open a new studio in the Kentlands in Gaithersburg, MD. Providing the ultimate cardio experience, Zengo Cycle offers an invigorating, cycle-centric workout for the mind, body, and soul.
The new location, opening late 2014, will be Zengo Cycle’s third studio among their regional expansion plans, joining Zengo’s bustling Bethesda and Logan Circle studios. Zengo Cycle founder Marc Caputo and partners Dennis Ratner of the Ratner Companies and Streetsense Capital Partners have plans to expand to twenty to thirty cycling studios throughout the East Coast over the next three to five years.
“We are thrilled to introduce Zengo Cycle to Kentlands,” said Marc Caputo, Zengo Cycle founder. “Our goal is to deliver a challenging and exceptional fitness experience to our clients and make each ride and every visit to the studio a truly positive one. The overwhelming response to our Bethesda and Logan Circle studios is a strong indication that we are achieving our goal.”
