what makes quad unique?
it is more than just a workout. indoor cycling inspires participants to venture beyond "feeling the burn" and experience the rewards of harmonizing their minds and bodies through exercise. it is an individualist's sport and very noncompetitive as you determine your intensity.
what is the difference between indoor cycling and the life cycle?
the schwinn bikes used in indoor cycling programs have a truer bike feel with a greater range of control and adjustment for body type and level. it requires greater focus as you are coached throughout the class which leads to a more effective work-out.

will it make my legs big?
no, it actually elongates your leg muscles (think
of a cyclist's body). it is your genetic disposition
which determines how your muscles develop with exercise.
most large legged cyclists have added intensive resistance
training to their exercise regime.
will indoor cycling help me lose weight?
yes, it will help you shed pounds and lower your body
fat if done regularly and combined with a healthy
diet. one can burn up to 800 calories in one single
class but the average is 500 calories. it is also
a fantastic cardio exercise regime, leading to a more
energized and healthier life.
what makes quad so special?
quad has a warm, relaxed, and safe environment. all
of our certified teachers and staff have
been carefully chosen for their quality of instruction
and love of the sport. they will always be dedicated
to your safety and enjoyment. we have full showers, lockers and change rooms.
quad will introduce you
to how wonderful spinning is and how it should be
experienced.

how do i start?
you could observe a class and perhaps talk to an instructor.
next pick up a schedule and get the appropriate gear;
athletic shorts and running shoes or cycling shorts
and S.P.D. cycling shoes if possible (quad rents S.P.D.
shoes for $3.00). finally, bring water and a towel,
identify yourself as a first timer and take a class.
but best of all, try quad's introduction class on saturdays and sundays
@ 12:00 noon. all are welcome and give yourself plenty
of time before the class to get organized.
how long is a class?
classes are an hour in length consisting of a 45 minute
ride followed by a 15 minute cool down and stretch.
are all classes for all levels?
yes, people of different levels can attend the same
class. as much as it is a group setting, classes are
structured towards the more experienced rider. but even
the more tentative beginner will be nurtured.
can anyone do this exercise?
yes, people of any age, size or fitness level can participate.
(it is always recommended that before beginning any
form of exercise, one should always check with one's
doctor). |
