This 75 minutes event is at CYKL spinning studio, which has excellent facilities including coat racks, storage bins for bags, washrooms, change rooms, showers, soaps, shampoo, towels and filtered water.

What is this event about?

Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called (obviously enough) a spinning bike. As you pedal, motivating music plays and the instructor talks you through a visualization of an outdoor cycling workout: "You're going up a long hill now, you can't see the top yet.…" During the class you vary your pace - sometimes pedaling as fast as you can, other times cranking up the tension and pedaling slowly from a standing position. This helps you to focus inwardly and work on your mind as well as your body.

Our event description:

This will be a guided 75 minutes lesson in a convenient and spacious studio with music, voice coaching and using the latest style in spinning bikes - the REAL RIDER that allows movement and turning from side to side. You will be guided through a series of drills to challenge your legs, lungs and core including: warm-up, steady uptempo, cadences, sprints, hill climbs and cool-downs/stretch.

Skill level needed:

  • This event is suitable for someone with previous cycling/spinning experience as it is a long 75 minutes class.
