what’s a ride?

pure fun and crazy intense! 50 min of a highly effective full body workout to get fit and healthy. absolutely easy on the joints and feasible from beginner to competitive athlete. the dark room, the motivating music and ridexperts, who excite you and take you on an epic journey. a ride is an experience!

i’m a beginner, can i follow along?

newbies are more than welcome! and don’t be afraid: you decide how intense your first ride will be. adjust your resistance and chose the right weights. your bike will be set up and explained personally to you at your first ride. and with the special bike shoes you get, you are firm and secure on the bike.

spinning is not for me, why should i try ride?

because ride is pure fun and a real fullbody workout. except for the bike it has nothing to do with spinning. the upper body exercises, the dumbbell part and the music experience are just a few of the differences. when the lights go out, only you and your workout count. you forget everything around you and immerse yourself in a completely new kind of training.

can i really burn 900kcal per ride?

absolutely! the high-intensity interval training will challenge your body and is very effective. of course, you have to be healthy and the amount of calories actually burned depends heavily on your gender, body weight and your chosen resistance.

how often should i ride?

that depends entirely on why you ride. if you want to take a break and get away from it all, sometimes one ride per week is enough. if you want to be more active and leaner, it should be two to three times. and as always, as long as it is good for you and you feel comfortable, there are hardly any limits.

when do i see the first results?

you will feel the first changes after the first two or three rides. it’s a great feeling to have done such an intense workout, it just inspires you and makes you feel proud. then you will notice that you get used to the intensity and after 4-6 weeks you, as well as your friends and colleagues, will see the change. of course, you can enhance the effect by adjusting your diet because your success depends heavily on how and what you eat.

just bring your normal sports wear and a bottle of water.

there will be a water dispenser waiting for you. on top towels and bike shoes are inclusive, as well as shampoo, body wash, conditioner, body lotion and deodorant, hair spray, hair ties and make-up remover.

can i bring my children to the studio?

if they are old enough to spend 50 minutes by themselves, no problem at all. we would very much like to, but can not take over supervision or even liability. free wi-fi is available in all studios should it be a movie or an audiobook for the little ones.

can i ride when i’m pregnant?

first and foremost, talk to your doctor and midwife. if you feel good and have their ok, there shouldn’t be any issues. however, we need a signed form from you that you participate in the ride at your own responsibility. listen to your body and do what feels good.

at what age can you start with rides?

the development of adolescents can be very different. therefore joining a ride is possible from the age of 15, as long as the bike can be safely setup for your height. until the age of 18 we do need a guardians signature on the liability waiver before the first ride.

i am currently injured. can i still ride?

it is absolutely your personal decision. in any case, talk to your doctor and/or physiotherapist and let the team know. take care of yourself and rather do less, than too much. if it is too much, you will usually only feel it when the body comes to rest. therefore, be more than careful. it is not worth it, because of one ride, to strain your own body. relax and when you are fit again, ride with your full power!
