Entering the studio at Yaletown’s Ride Cycle Club is like entering a swank, sweaty night- club in New York City: dim lights, fierce music and glistening bodies pulsating in unison to the beat. “We coach our classes to ride together, using the beat of the music to drive their pedal stroke. It creates an amazing pack-like mentality, where you feel a true team vibe in each class,” says co-founder and instructor Ashley Ander, who caught the indoor cycling bug while living in NYC.
“At Ride, our instructors carefully curate a playlist intended to allow you to lose yourself in the experience,” she says of the full-body workout incorporating push-ups, core-toning movements and upper body strength training with dumbbells.
A group of helpful staff and instructors “are always there to introduce you to your first Ride experience – studio tour, shoe fittings and bike set-up – so each client feels ready to ride with the pack,” says Ander of the candlelit classes.
First class is free, $24 for drop-in, Look Delta cleats are complimentary
