Fun Spinning Classes You Should Try
Spinning is great for people who want a motivating workout that they can control at their own pace. It involves neither rhythm nor complex moves, but the best classes have great music. Anyone can benefit from the Spinning program (celebs are regular faces at popular spinning studios), but you can go at your own pace by controlling the resistance on your bike.
For those of you who have missed the hype, SoulCycle is a spinning studio originating in NYC. Combining spinning on stationary bicycles, New Age empowerment jargon, and the throb of loud club music in a dimly-lit room, SoulCycle is intended to make working out more like going out on the town, except you don’t have to dress up, and you lose calories instead of consuming them. If you’re looking for your heart-pounding Kumbaya moment, you’ll prefer a Soul Cycle. Now Soul Cycle is located in NYC, LA, Westchester, and Nassau Counties.

Real Ryder Bikes are the only stationary bikes in the world that move laterally, allowing riders to bank (lean) into a turn. As a result, the workouts are more dynamic, intense and comprehensive than a traditional indoor cycling bike. Shaping long lean legs and shredding excess body fat are what R3 rydes deliver. The RealRyder bike was designed by a devout cyclist who wanted to duplicate the feeling of riding on the road or out in the trails. Spinning studios that have Real Ryder bikes are everywhere.
