Group Cycling Studio
What are some benefits of group cycling?
Many of us get stuck in a work out rut and look for new ways to spice things up. Well, if that sounds like you and you’ve never tried it, consider group cycling. Group cycling is a great way to get a high-intensity cardio workout during the winter or when you can’t exercise outdoors.

Group cycling, also called “studio cycling” is a group fitness class that uses stationary bikes. The instructor talks the class through a workout, encouraging everyone to pedal harder and ramp up the intensity at different points to stimulate riding up a steep hill, for example. At some points in the class you may be standing up on the pedals with the tension cranked up high, while at others the tension will be low and you’ll pedal as fast as you can for a sprint. The benefits of group cycling are easy to notice; in addition to burning a lot of calories you’ll be strengthening your calves and thighs. Most classes last at least 45 minutes and require you to have some stamina, which makes group cycling ideal for advanced exercises.

Participants get to keep track of 100 classes on a index card for every Water class, Cycling class, and classes in the Fitness Studio. Once you have reached 100 classes in any of these three areas, you get to take your card to the front desk and collect your exclusive 100 CLUB t-shirt, and a star with your name will be placed on the wall. Blank index cards can be found in the locker room hallway. Please file them alphabetically.
