Whilst no prior experience is necessary it is beneficial if you have participated in a few Spinning class and become more used to spending 45 minutes on a bike and are familiar with the bikes metrics. 

However Group Cycleclasses are designed for participants of all fitness levels, you are all working at your own individual level! You are also always welcome to participate in a class not logged in to see what it’s all about, in which case the instructor will advise you about riding with RPE.

Wear comfortable workout clothing and appropriate shoes. Avoid loose clothing that may get caught in the bike's mechanisms. If you have cycling shoes, our bikes have pedals compatible with Shimano SPD Mountain bike type cleats. 

Yes, Group Cycle classes are suitable for beginners, but be prepared for a challenging workout. You can adjust the resistance on your bike and modify movements to match your fitness level. If you're new to indoor cycling, arrive a few minutes early to get set up on your bike and familiarise yourself with the equipment. 

Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the workout, you may also want to bring your own towel to wipe away sweat.
