Description

Spin classes offer the opportunity to participate in organised indoor cycling and involve using a special stationary exercise bicycle with a weighted flywheel in a class setting. 

These weekly classes for adult blind and vision impaired participants are suitable for varying levels of fitness. You will be able to set your level of difficulty on the bikes and determine how much you'd like to stretch yourself. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, or health concerns, and you are wondering if this is the right class for you, please get in touch to discuss prior to starting.

Denise, our Spin class personal trainer, will help you set the right pace for you. Spin classes are great to help build endurance and strength.
