Lapso Studios is a Barcelona-based boutique fitness operator running indoor cycling studios. It offers 45-minute classes that combine high-intensity cycling with dance, strength training and coaching, sold to consumers on a pay-per-use basis, and it also runs corporate wellness sessions. Eugenia Llopart and Javier Herrarte founded the company in Barcelona in 2021. It grew to three centres in the city, with more than 50 staff, over 170,000 visits and about €2.1 million in revenue in 2025. In October 2023 it raised a €1.5 million seed round led by La Vida es Chula, the family office of Desigual founder Thomas Meyer. In March 2026 it was acquired by the Mexican boutique fitness group Commando, and it keeps operating under its own brand.
