I attended Harness cycle for the first time recently and participated in the house ride during their happy hour on Friday which cost only 5 dollars. To rent their cycling shoes, which I highly recommend, was an extra three dollars which you pay when you get there. It was an absolute blast!!! Allow me to start with the process of signing up. I had not purchased a class series pack so I was just attending as a drop in. When you visit their website, you must register online. The schedule for the week opens at noon on Mondays and you HAVE to be ready to sign up right at noon to ensure a spot. If not you will be placed on their wait list. There are times I tried to sign up at 12:07 and classes were filled. It is that popular!
The studio is located in Hingetown so it was very convenient for myself since I am a downtown resident. The studio supplies towels, a nice water fountain, and cubbies to put things at no cost.
The class itself was an amazing workout and an all around great time. I had Katie S. and she was extremely outgoing and motivated. She played really upbeat, loud music to keep you going and almost allowed you to forget you were getting such a good workout. The lights are dimmed during the work out, which I really liked because it allowed each rider to really focus and not daze off. During the ride we did all sorts of speeds, movements and even an arm workout. The only thing I wish the teacher had addressed was what she meant when she said "tap it" through out the lesson. She kind of treated this class as if everyone had participated before and I had not. I kind of picked up that it meant to turn the nob to increase resistance and to turn it a full rotation when she says that. Other then that I have no other complaints and really liked the experience.
The studio itself it very girly and fun. There are some really adorable workout clothes and accessories in the front. I will definitely continue cycling here weekly.
