Please note:

  • We require 6 hours notice (prior to class time) if you call to remove your name from a class sign up sheet.
  • Registered seats will be given to drop ins 5 minutes after the class has begun
  • Remember that spin passes are valid for 3 months, so buy according to your needs.

Different strokes - Registering, Spin passes or Drop in:

  • For each class with 15 bikes, there will be 10 registered seats available; the remaining 5 spots are available to pass holders on a sign-up basis, or a drop-in basis if space is available.
  • By registering you are guaranteeing your spot; we are hoping that this will streamline the process for our classes, alleviating the phone calls & extra visits sometimes required to get a bike.
  • If your schedule requires flexibility you might find that a combination of registering for one class and attending others on a sign-up basis using a spin pass meets your needs.
  • Spin passes are valid for 3 months at a time; please buy accordingly as there will be no extensions
  • Note that each spin class on the Spinning schedule (see the Schedules page) has a course code number; this is the program code you require to register.
  • For a summary of Spinning class prices & Pass prices, see the Health & Fitness Price page.

CLASS TYPES

RECOVERY

Recovery workouts are an essential component of any fitness program. The recovery class focuses on balance, breathing, visualization and energy accumulation (studies indicate the light resistance exercise actually accelerates the body’s recovery process).
STRENGTH This workout is slow, steady, with an emphasis on hard resistance work. The work is hill-specific with the goal of building power. This is the only workout in the Spinning program that may make your muscles sore.
ENDURANCE The goal of the Endurance Energy Zone is to increase your aerobic capacity. The sustained aerobic effort of the class allows individuals to maintain endurance and resist
fatigue by focusing on a steady use of energy.
INTERVAL This workout makes use of flats and hills, acceleration drills and jumps with recovery time in between. Participants will work aerobically and anaerobically. Hang on tight and feel your heart beat!
MIX IT UP Experience the best of the Mad Dogg Athletic Spinning Program. We have combined all
the components - endurance, strength, interval and recovery into a 60 minutes total
body workout.
