Program 04 — Ride
Lights down.Cadence up.
Forty bikes, one dark room, music you feel in your sternum.
Indoor cycling
Ride is the loudest room in a quiet club: a 40-bike studio lit like a stage, programmed around power and cadence rather than choreography. You ride to numbers, the numbers ride to music.
The work.
Every bike measures watts, so progress is a figure, not a feeling. Expect climbs, surges and one song each session where the room goes completely dark and you empty the tank.
Lights down. Cadence up.
Three formats.
