What do you need to get started?
- Enthusiasm!
- Medical clearance
- Zone membership. Ask for a pass to try spinning first!
- Stiff soled shoes/runners. Eventually proper SPD-compatible cycling shoes
really help
- Water
- Workout attire. Padded cycling shorts or a gel seat cover will help
initially, but not essential
- I can arrange a personal demonstration if you're apprehensive! The music
and exhortations emanating from the Spin Floor in the Zone should not be
intimidating. Each participant is working to his/her potential and the effort
can be extreme for the experienced spinner, but the neophyte can enjoy the
class just as much!
- Still apprehensive? Read these
tips for a
smooth ride!
