Warm-up
A five-minute spin-up, one easy climb, lungs and legs talking to each other.
An indoor cycling club on Curtain Road, fourteen bikes in a blacked-out railway arch, a sound system that would make a nightclub blush, and instructors who ride what they coach.
Every ride is the same five phases, so you can track progress week-on-week. The playlist is the only thing that changes — and the instructor.
A five-minute spin-up, one easy climb, lungs and legs talking to each other.
Thirteen minutes at threshold — seated, standing, two quick lifts. Settle in.
Twelve minutes building resistance. The heart of the class; the hour's biggest gains.
Six 60-second all-outs, full recoveries. Come for this.
Spin-out, long breath-work, stretch off the bike. You're done.
Fourteen bikes, arranged in two arcs. Bike 01 is centre-front; 14 is back-corner. Pick one you like and we'll save it for the rest of the term.
Every instructor on the stage is also on a bike in the arch at least once a week. No-one coaches what they don't personally train.
Crit-racer off the bike, instructor of our signature Climb series. Writes the eight-week progression everyone tracks against.
Former pro BMX. Brings a playlist that will not let you sit still; the sprint set you'll talk about for a week.
Marathoner who ride-trains between blocks. The long, smooth climbs are his; the leg-work that will make you faster, elsewhere.
Every ride has a tracklist; we publish it the morning of. Eight tracks, fourteen minutes of pure climb in the middle, and two cool-down.
Any class, any instructor — first ride is a pound. We'll find a bike, get your shoes sorted, and walk you through the first climb before the rest of the room arrives.
