I have an athletic background, but have never done a spin class before. Flywheel is great for the experienced and inexperienced athlete alike. The energy is high and the music keeps you pushing. This separates itself from other group classes because you won't notice what others are doing - they dim the lights so you can only focus on yourself and the instructor. For those that are competitive, they keep track of your power output and show a leaderboard at the end. It's a full-body workout that I'll definitely be doing again! Also...they have cool swag for sale.
P.S - props to Shane who made my first class a great and unique experience!
