I’ve never taken a spin class before, so what should I expect?
We are so glad you want to try it out! Please refer to our “What to Expect in a Class” page.
What if I can’t do all the drills/moves?
Not a problem! We offer modifications and challenges for everyone, regardless of experience or ability. Be sure tell instructor prior to class if you have any injuries for help with modifications. You can always sit in the saddle and try some of the moves in the saddle. Ultimately, we do not want you trying moves that you do not feel comfortable with that could result in an injury. We want you to feel safe in all moves! If you want some tips on how to perform the moves, please ask the instructor after class.
Do I have to be out of the saddle the whole time?
Most of the class is performed out of the saddle; however, we strongly encourage you to only do what is within your comfort/fitness level. This is a judgement free zone and if you need to sit in the saddle to rest and join back in when you’re ready, we encourage that. We are all different fitness levels and this is not a competition! We are building a stronger, healthier community TOGETHER. Just don’t give up!
What should I wear?
Athleisure wear that you feel comfortable riding in and will withstand a hot environment while you sweat. We suggest a tank/tee/sports bra with form-fitting pants or shorts. It is important that you do not wear jeans or loose fitting pants that could get caught in the bike or pedals.
Do I need cycling shoes?
Yes. Our bikes are all LOOK Delta and SPD cleat compatible. It is important that you have cycling shoes due to the choreographed type of class we provide. If you do not have shoes, we have rental shoes on site available for purchase for $2 per class. You can also purchase your own shoes in our merchandise area if you no longer want to rent shoes.
Are weights involved?
Yes. You will have one song in each class that utilizes weights for upper body work. We have a wide range of weight sizes available so make sure to pick up your desired pair of weights prior to the start of class.
Do you offer additional amenities?
Due to COVID-19 policies, our showers are temporarily unavailable.
Anything else?
Classic City Cycling is a welcoming environment and each of our riders is special to us! When you step into the studio, leave all your stress, tension, and obligations behind so that this time is yours and yours alone! We will ride together, but every rider has different goals and expectations they hope to achieve. So, use this time to push yourself every day to accomplish your goals.
