CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Endurance: An endurance training session trains the body to be more efficient at metabolizing fat and maintaining a comfortable pace for extended periods. The emphasis is on finding a comfortable heart rate and pedaling style that can be maintained for hours. The heart rate is not varied throughout class. The majority of training should be endurance.
Strength: The strength training session involves steady, consistent pedaling with heavy resistances. Strength rides promote muscular and cardiovascular development that will enable you to feel like a strong and powerful climber. Recovery from this session is critical.
Interval: Interval training sessions emphasize speed, tempo, timing, and rhythm. Movements may include high RPM pedaling in the flats, Acceleration drills, and recovery stretches. The goal of interval training is to develop the ability to recover quickly after work efforts, an exercise that can be done in several heart rate ranges.
Varied: The Varied Terrain ride is a ride which includes terrain from all the other types of rides in the energy zones. Heart rates and terrain will vary.
Express Spin: A thirty minute ride geared toward beginners and those with limited time. Participants control the intensity
