5 Reasons You Should Take a Cycle Class at In-Shape

Picture you’re in a room with ambient lighting, your favorite playlist ever… and riding a bike alongside the best and supportive people. That’s basically a cycle class at In-Shape in a nutshell.

Cycle classes are a popular and effective way to get a great workout. These classes typically involve riding a stationary bike to high-energy music, led by a certified instructor. There are many benefits to taking a cycle class, but here are 5 reasons why you should take a cycle class at In-Shape!

It's great for your heart

One of the biggest benefits of cycle classes is the cardiovascular workout. Our classes are designed to get your heart rate up, which is essential for maintaining a healthy heart and lungs. With regular cycle classes, you can improve your overall heart health, which can help reduce your risk of heart disease and other health conditions.

You can find a class that’s perfect for you

At In-Shape we offer a variety of cycle class options: Beatz RIDE, Freestyle RIDE, Les Mills Sprint and M7: PWR RIDE. These offerings include different class lengths and intensities, allowing you to choose the class that best fits your fitness goals and schedule.

It’s a great leg workout AND it can improve function and mobility

Another advantage of cycle classes is stronger legs. Cycling activates a wide range of muscles including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles. Over time, regular participation in cycle classes can lead to increased strength and performance in these muscles. This can not only help with activities that require leg strength, such as running and hiking, but it can also help with overall function and mobility so that you can live a stronger and pain free life. Function and mobility is everything!

It's great for all fitness levels

Another great thing about our cycle classes is that they can be modified to fit any fitness level. The resistance on the stationary bike can be adjusted to increase or decrease the difficulty of the workout, allowing everyone from beginners to advanced fitness enthusiasts to participate and get a great workout.

A safe and welcoming space to add movement and #livelifewell

In-Shape is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that makes it easy to enjoy your workout. Our clubs prioritize having friendly and supportive staff, as well as other members who can provide motivation and encouragement for you to continue to #livelifewell one class at a time.

We hope to see you at our next class! Check your In-Shape app to find out when the next cycle class in your area is.
