BEFORE YOUR FIRST CLASS
We'll help you get settled
Let our front desk know it's your first visit. Our instructors and staff will welcome you, show you around or point you toward everything you need, and help you get set up on your bike.
We'll help adjust your bike and explain how to clip in and out so you feel comfortable and ready. Ask questions and let us know about any concerns before class.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE BIKE
Challenging, achievable, and better together
Expect 45 minutes of instructor-led indoor cycling with routines and choreography that challenge you as you learn.
Some combinations may feel unfamiliar at first. You aren't expected to master everything in one class. Build your confidence, get familiar with the movements, and let the routines come together over time.
The goal is that feeling when the room moves as one, and you feel part of it. Learning is part of getting there.
AFTER CLASS
Cool down and connect
Grab a towel to help cool down, and take a moment before heading out.
Come talk to your instructor or our staff about anything that felt confusing, uncomfortable, or exciting. We're happy to answer questions, hear your concerns, and help make your next visit feel more familiar.
