Frequently Asked Questions
Indoor cycling focuses on endurance, strength, intervals and recovery, and is a great way to build muscle tone and boost cardiovascular endurance. If you’re looking to lose weight, then you’ve come to the right place. The more you put into each session, the more calories you will burn. This is not a gentle bike ride in the country, it’s a full body workout which will leave you feeling exhilarated, energised and refreshed. As you will be cycling alongside others, there is always a great community spirit in our classes and we’re looking forward to making you feel part of the team. It’s also a lot of fun and VERY addictive! Don’t take our word for it though - book a session and discover for yourself!

Our highly trained, expert instructors will introduce you to the equipment and help get your bike set up ahead of the class. If you haven’t been to one of our sessions before, it’s good to arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can show you how everything works. The length of each session can be found on the Withdean Sports Complex timetables. For your safety and comfort, we recommend you wear cycle shoes to ensure efficient and constant contact is maintained with the pedals throughout the class.
The main difference is that Spinning is a registered brand trademark and spin classes are usually quite formulaic - simulating road cycling with endurance rides, hills and sprints. Indoor Cycling is more free-flowing and can be developed and tailored to different types of classes and workouts - the sky’s the limit!
