Is The Ride: Let the Beat Drop Good Workout? 

 Low-impact but not low intensity, cycling offers remarkable results for your body on the bike: 

• HIIT Training Benefits. High-Intensity Interval Training delivers some of the quickest fitness results of all training styles and is a foundational element of all formats of the Crunch Ride program. The built-in recovery allows athletes to attack repeated work segments with the same or higher intensity each time. This leads to increased fat burning and lowers insulin resistance.  

• Cardiovascular Benefits. Because the heart rate remains elevated even during the recovery aspects of HIIT training, participants’ hearts get a workout! This leads to a lower resting heart rate and higherVO2max, better lung capacity. 

• Strength Benefits. Legs get a great workout during The Ride, obviously, but so does the core, from stabilizing the body while standing to keeping good overall riding posture. This core strength improves overall balance and coordination as well.  

• Joint Benefits. Cycling is one of the best low-impact exercise options for fitness fanatics trying to stay healthy while being kind to their hips, knees, and ankles.  
• Safety Benefits. Indoor cycling can provide all the training benefits of outdoor cycling without risk of crash injuries 

How Difficult is The Ride? 

6/10. Well, as they say, it’s as easy as riding a bike. You are in control of your resistance and speed, so you control the level of difficulty; however, our Ride coaches are MASTERS of motivation, guiding you to your best metrics yet! All fitness levels are welcome! 

How Long Is Each Class? 

The Ride: Let the Beat Drop is a 45-minute cardiovascular workout incorporating pure athletic training set to motivating music and expert coaching.  

What Should I Wear? 

Come ready to play. Typically, people wear sweat-wicking clothing that will offer ample coverage and allow you to move with ease throughout the full range of motion on the bike. Padded bike shorts may also make cycling more comfortable for you.  

SPD Clip Cycling Shoes or Cross training Gym Shoes.  Be sure to wear comfortable shoes that offer support and stability during class.  Clip-in cycling shoes improve the cycling experience but are not necessary. 

What do I need to Bring? 

Hydrate, my friend! Make sure you have plenty of water with you.  Also, pop a towel in your gym bag to catch your sweat, as you will be glowing after that first stage! Most importantly, bring a great attitude and smile to share.
