I was a little shy about trying spinning with all the stereo types of the past, but... I gave it a try. I found it to be a non-intimating, welcoming an awesome place. The instructors and staff are great. They helped me get to know everything there is to make the ride, "my ride". Now, I go twice a week and I love it! I'm losing weight and I feel more energized and positive. Check it out, if you haven't already. Your first ride is free.
