How do I start?

Check our SCHEDULE for the class most convenient for you. Then sign up online to RESERVE your ride or call the studio. If you are new to indoor cycling, please arrive 15 minutes early so we can show you the "set-up" and the "basics". The resistance knob on each bike allows you to control the pedal speed. Start slowly and as you get more comfortable with technique, the challenge is in changing speed, resistance, and intensity.
