Indoor Cycling

What is Indoor Cycling?

Using a stationary bike, you will experience a guided ride designed to simulate terrain and situations similar to riding a bike outdoors. With a variety of road-like challenges and moves, you will strengthen your entire body. Some of the movements and positions include hill climbs, sprints and interval training. Pedals are equipped with toe clips for biking shoes and baskets for those wearing normal athletic shoes. Classes are run for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the schedule.

What are the benefits of Indoor Cycling?

Improve your cardio-respiratory endurance and raise your metabolism. Cycling offers a low impact workout, making it safe for those with joint issues. A wonderful substitute for running, cyclists control the intensity to suit their ability and fitness level while strengthening the muscles of the lower body.

What to bring:

Bring water and two towels (one to use and one for the handlebars). Regular athletic shoes or clip in biking shoes will work.

Fitness Level:

Adaptive to all levels. Geared toward intermediate to advanced levels. Beginners welcome!

Attending Your First Indoor Cycling Class?

Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to meet the instructor and setup your bike prior to riding. Comfort is important, and to avoid injury, make sure your bio-mechanical positioning on the bike is right for your height. Select a bike where the instructor can observe your form throughout the duration of class. Bring extra water, two towels and a change of clothes to use after class. There is no need to invest in cycling shoes until you know the class is right for you.
