What is a SPIN class at RockN'Cycle? 

 

This is an energetic cardiovascular indoor cycling workout, riding specially designed stationary bikes similar to a road bike. These bikes have a heavy flywheel so that the rider creates resistance, simulating riding outside with varying terrain.  During class the instructor coaches amounts of resistance and positions on the bike. How much resistance used and intensity put into the workout is entirely up to the rider. You also may get some free trivia, music knowledge, and a lot of laughs!

Why Participate in our Classes?

 

Motivating Music ...

We us music that YOU like because we take requests!  Hearing a favorite song or musical artist makes the class even more fun! We feel it's all about the music. Generally we play classic rock or some newer rock. If any disliked songs come up on a playlist, a new song can easily be chosen.  The only "rule":  let the instructor know if a song that's playing is not your "style".  At RockN'Cycle the music is KEY! Well, the only other "rule" is to HAVE FUN!

What to Bring

Besides the desire to get a great, fun workout, please bring some type of hydration and a small sweat towel. We suggest wearing biking shorts, preferably padded, and workout wear with sneakers that preferably have a hard bottom or cycling shoes with SPD clips. 

 

Who Should NOT Take This Class?

Women who are pregnant who are new to SPINNING/Indoor Cycling, as with any exercise program that can be taxing, need to clear this with their doctor before taking class. Anyone with a medical condition that requires a doctor's approval and does not have their doctor's approval should not take class.

Also a class participant should never be under the influence of alcohol or any substance that can cause impaired judgement.
