| - Looking for an alternative to your regular exercise routine? Look no further than Flywheel Sports!
Dion L., Simone M. & I took in the flywheel class today at 9:45 AM, which had a 90's music theme. Although Simone & I were quite disappointed there was no 90s hip-hop, we all were familiar with the 90s tunes that were played.
Word of caution...get there early! You need to be on your bike, locked in, & ready to go when class starts. Who knew there were special shoes for such an outing?! However, if you don't know exactly how to lock those shoes in place, there are folks there to assist.
The room has 30+ stationary flywheel bikes in it & while space is tight, you don't feel crampt. Also, when class starts, all the lights are off, except for a small spotlight on the teacher. Flat screen TV boards show your progress (should you choose to participate in that).
For 45 minutes, you pedal up imaginary hills by raising your torque on the bike. Jenna (our teacher), constantly shouted out commands over the booming music, so you knew exactly what to do & when to do it. Additionally, there are bars which you incorporate into the workout, so not only are your legs getting a workout, your arms are, too.
Flywheel Sports also has a FlyBarre class.
The facility is really nice. When you walk in, you're greeted by the staff & check-in. If you haven't already signed up for a class online & chosen your bike, these folks help you out with that. Everyone we encountered today was really nice.
They have a retail area, showers, lockers, & restrooms for you to use. The place is very clean & has a very hip/modern feel to it. They also have a bowl of apples & bananas in the reception area (free to partake), so pick up a fruit on your way out.
One last note: this place is pretty expensive...so if money isn't an object & you enjoy cycling, by all means, become a member!
