PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST RIDE
- Set up your account online before arriving at the studio. Be sure to enter your birthday, height, weight so that we can celebrate your special day and provide accurate performance data.
- Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your reserved time.
- Wear your favorite workout gear along with spandex or tight-fitting pants/shorts. Cycling shoes are not required, but stiffer sole tennis shoes are recommended. Our bikes also accommodate standard SPD cleats for riders that have cycling shoes.
- Have a light snack and drink plenty of water. We work up some serious heat on the bike, so it’s important to hydrate before and during class. We have water at our studios — bring a bottle to fill up or grab one at the front desk.
CHECKING IN
- Before you do anything, let our happiness advisors know it is your first ride.
- They’ll ask that you sign a waiver, and then you’ll be given your bike number.
- Please note that if you are under 18, parental consent is required.
STARTING YOUR RIDE
We know that the first time isn’t always easy. That's why our happiness crew is here to ensure your first ride feels just right. Our bikes are custom designed to fit every body. Instructors and happiness advisors are available in the studio to get you set up on the bike, and they’ll be available in the room throughout the ride should you need help for any reason. Once set up, leave your phone in your cubby and give yourself time to let go and have fun!
POST RIDE
If this is your first spin class, or if you’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, your body is going to be sore! To recover, and build muscle, we recommend that you drink plenty of water and have a lean protein diet. Also, consistency is key! The sooner you make your way back to the saddle, the sooner the soreness goes away.
If you have further questions about your first ride, we are here to answer them. Give us a call at (240) 641-4969, and let us set your mind at ease!
AMENITIES
Our studios offers complimentary towels to use during class, and occasionally, fresh fruit :-) We have a shower available to all participants should they require one. In addition, we sell water for ($2) if you happen to forget your bottle at home.
