Welcome! We seasonally offer an Intro to Spin 4-week workshop where the instructor will teach you absolutely everything you need to know about how to safely and effectively ride a cycling bike. Additionally, ALL of our classes will ALWAYS be beginner friendly. You are in complete control of your bike at all times, so if the instructor coaches a move that you are not sure about or you are not comfortable with they will give you all the ways to modify that so you get the best workout and stay safe!

Please wear comfortable athletic clothing! We recommend wearing leggings or shorts, as flare bottom pants can get stuck in the cranks/pedals of the bike. Please wear clean athletic shoes/sneakers.
