When fellow yelper Gabi M and I find ourselves in San Francisco we're all about signing up for a Soul Cycle spinning class. When I visited her in Phoenix she sadly informed me that they don't have soul cycle there (yet), but the "party on a bike" class at The Madison Improvement was almost as good.
We showed up for a 6am Monday class with Katie. I was still half asleep, but couldn't help notice how welcoming the girls at the front desk were. They took my info, told me I owed only $5 since it was my first class (the cost sure beats soul cycle) and offered me spinning shoes. I'd actually come prepared with my own from Chicago.
Within minutes of Katie's class I was awake and knew I was going to be a fan. Energetic instructor, fun music and loved the disco-like atmosphere. I was surprised the class itself was only half full, but then again it was 6am on a Monday. 50 minutes later I was awake...yet exhausted from all the spinning. The perfect start to a week in sunny Phoenix!
