SPIN
RHYTHMIC SPIN
Our Rhythmic Spin classes focus on the tempo of the music. This determines our resistance and drives our movement. Expect challenging, but well-paced classes with choreography.
Individuals are always encouraged to take the options that feel best for them. This may include skipping the choreography, finding the slow beat and climbing during a race, or mirroring choreography in the saddle. Spin classes will incorporate light weights (3 lbs) and/or resistance bands.

Hype is a Rhythmic Spin class that feels more like a party than a workout. Think energizing music with creative choreography. From racing to climbing and everything in between, Rhythmic Hype will get your heart pumping and leave you on an endorphin high.
-
Strong is a Rhythmic class with more emphasis on dialing in (literally) to increase tension. It’s about setting a strong foundation so we can move with control and confidence. You can still expect choreography, but the movements are simple and strong. Additionally, there are no standing sprints. While all classes are scalable, Strong is a great place to start if you’re a new member.
metric spin
In Metric classes, intensity targets and intentional intervals guide the pedal stroke pace and pressure. The Metric program is subdivided into three specific workout types: Endurance, Power, and HIIT. These sub-types are carefully designed to challenge and continually improve overall athletic performance.
-
Endurance training consists of a moderate intensity sustained over a longer duration. The primary purpose of endurance (aerobic) training in any cardiovascular sport is to increase aerobic capacity. A secondary benefit to endurance training, however, is fostering more resilient musculature (joints, tendons & muscles).
-
Power training consists of a threshold intensity sustained over a medium duration. The primary purpose of power (threshold) training is to increase lactate threshold and power output. A secondary benefit to power training is building mental capacity.
-
HIIT training consists of maximum intensity sustained for only short durations, followed by complete recovery. The primary purpose of HIIT (anaerobic) training is to increase anaerobic capacity. Increased anaerobic capacity leads to larger fatigue tolerance and increased sprint reserves.
