Question 1

What do I need to bring to class?

Accepted Answer

A water bottle, indoor exercise shoes or cycling shoes, and a positive attitude. We will provide a sweat towel for you to use during class, if you would rather bring your own you are welcome to do that too. If yoga is being offered with the class we also provide the yoga mat, again you have the option of bringing your own as well.

Question 2

What can I expect at my first class?

Accepted Answer

Arrive 10 minutes early and connect with the instructor. They will help you to set up your bike and show you how to use it. Have fun in this class, we know it will be challenging. Don’t judge indoor cycling on your first class, please come back and give it a second go. On average it takes participants 3 classes to get the hang of it and fall in love with this endurance low-impact cardio workout. If your first class is Strong or Core Foundations we will get you introduced to the instructor prior to class and make sure to set you up in the space.

Question 3

What should I wear to class?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable workout clothes. Think t-shirt, shorts, capris, tighter pants, etc. Avoid loose-fitting clothing that can get caught up in peddles or cranks. One thing you can depend on is that you will sweat! Make sure to have indoor exercise shoes or cycling shoes and socks.

Question 4

Are there clip ins? Do you supply shoes?

Question 10

How many calories do you burn in an indoor cycling class?

Accepted Answer

This all depends on how hard you work. There are many factors that go into how many calories you burn, including level of resistance, cadence, sex, weight, experience and length of class. Generally speaking, you can expect to burn 350-600 calories in a 45 to 60-minute class. 
The average weight lifting or yoga session burns 150-200 calories. 
Indoor cycling is the only cardiovascular exercise you can do and build muscle at the same time!
