For Studio cycling, comfort on the bike is essential and a pair of cycling shorts is the best choice (but don't worry if you haven't got a pair) and a suitable top ideally fast wicking Lycra. Normal training shoes may be worn, although a stiff soled shoe is better or cycling shoes with Shimano style SPD clip in's if you have them.

Will I be able to keep up and follow the exercises?

Everyone who attends is there to improve their own fitness so it is important to work at a level that you feel you can manage. Alternatives are always given enabling you to start at a lower level and progress when you feel ready.

Classes are easy to follow and if you are a little lost it is fine just to march on the spot. In Pilates you will always be given an exercise to suit the level you are at. In Studio Cycling you always work to your own level by controlling resistance on the flywheel so it doesn't matter whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete - everyone gets a really good workout.

Is everyone who attends really fit?

Classes are run for all abilities, some who have attended for a long time are fit, others who have joined recently may well take things more slowly. You are there to improve your fitness and everyone is encouraged to do what is best for them.

Do I need to bring anything?

Everything is provided although it is recommended that you bring your own water or preferred rehydration drink. For Studio cycling you will also need to bring a small towel with you.

What happens if I miss a class during the term

If you miss a class during the term you may make it up at any other class during the same term where there is space available. Spaces are not transferable to your friends or other family members because, when space and equipment is limited, we have to give priority to those who have committed to the whole term and are making up classes from ones previously missed.
