YYC Cycle Spin Studio

Love it. Never have done a spin class before trying one here. Awesome. Love it for staying in road shape over the winter

I have never done a spin class before so I have nothing to go on. My first class was a little confusing, but when you check in you’re shown around from the time I filled out forms, to checking out a spin cycle position on the map at the front desk. The front lockers are a little confusing to figure out at first. I didn’t find I was given much instruction my first class by the spin instructor. Locking in to the pedals was hard to figure out. Releasing from the pedals was even harder!!! (I actually didn’t figure that out until my 2^nd class with Erin who demonstrated it.)
They actually want you to go onto their website and watch the video for newbies. It does show you step by step what to do. Check in. Grab your shoes. Pick a spin cycle on the class map. Go change. Lock up belongings. Grab a towel. Grab dumbbells. Put on shoes in the class. Adjust your seat and handle positions. Lock in pedals. Warm up.
Aside from the confusion of being a newbie spin patron, I had so much fun! The music with Mandy was my type of music. It was fast paced and just got you moving! My legs felt like jelly when I was finished & I was sore for days after! The room is small and I do find you’re a little too close to your neighbors so you do tend to hit elbows every once in a while. The room does have air blasting every once in a while so it keeps us nice and cool as much as possible.
When you’re done you stretch and are given a wet towel soaked in tea tree to wiped down the handles, seat, and dumbbells. The facility is very clean and well maintained.
If you’ve never gone, definitely check out their website first to familiarize yourself with their processes. I love how it is all simplified for buying passes and signing up for classes online. All you gotta do is show up! I am so pumped for my next class!
