Feel a little intimidated at the thought of trying a class? You're not alone. The most common misconception is that indoor cycling is an intense, overwhelming experience that only the very fit can handle, says San Diego certified Spinning™ instructor Jill Flyckt. I tell newcomers to remember they’re in charge of their own ride. They set the pace and they do it privately--unlike in other classes where everyone can see if they make a wrong step.
Ultra-endurance cyclist, motivational trainer and internationally acclaimed fitness expert Johnny G, who created the original Spinning program that sparked the indoor cycling trend, says, The beauty of indoor cycling is that you set your own level of intensity by adjusting the bike's resistance, so your age, size or fitness level doesn’t matter. The goal is to help you find the champion within.

ReVive Cycling Tips
To help you ease into the indoor cycling experience, remember the following tips:
Take Control of the Ride. Don’t come out of the gate too fast. This is the most common mistake beginners make. Pace yourself!
Come Prepared. Wear comfortable clothes (padded bike shorts and gel seats are not required but may make YOUR ride more comfortable) and low-top shoes with stiff midsoles (cross trainers or cycling shoes). Bring your water bottle. We provide cold water and towel and wipe down service to all our guests!
Talk to Your Indoor Cycling Instructor. Describe your fitness history, goals and injuries. Ask about proper posture and learn how to adjust resistance and speed. Make sure your seat height and angle are correct before you start class.
Make a Commitment. Don’t let initial discomforts scare you off. Try this activity for several weeks, rather than giving up too soon. Indoor cycling may provide just the boost your fitness program needs--so get on your bike and ride!
Fitness experts agree that indoor cycling is an excellent cardiovascular workout, providing the same health and weight management benefits as other aerobic activities. It is particularly versatile because it's a nonimpact activity, ideal for postrehab patients, pre/postnatal women and people with overuse injuries, back pain or arthritis.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of indoor cycling is its special brand of motivation.
Indoor cycling consists of continuous coaching, music and visualization (which transports you to some imaginary terrain, such as a mountain or wilderness) help you achieve your personal best. It's about physical, mental and emotional development, says Johnny G. You can learn how to challenge yourself, overcome obstacles and build inner strength to reach your goals.
