Senior Cycling
This 50-minute class is an answer to many requests from our senior-aged members who would love to benefit from the non-impact, fantastic cardiovascular workout known as indoor cycling but wanted a class more their “speed.” This low intensity class is perfect for beginners and seniors! Classes are dedicated to proper bike set-up, development and mastery of cycling techniques, proper form, and the building of strength, endurance, and overall fitness. The instructor will lead the class through various simulated terrains set to uplifting music in a fun and encouraging environment.
