NEW Power-Based Cycling Program
Embark on a journey to elevate your cycling experience with our cutting-edge Cycling Program featuring upgraded power meter technology on our Spinning Bikes. We're thrilled to introduce this revolutionary program designed for cyclists with racing aspirations and Spinning enthusiasts aiming to elevate their fitness game, coached by our Endurance Training Manager himself, Cesar Valera.
Cycling with power meters provides a precise and objective measure of effort. Unlike traditional metrics like speed or heart rate, power meters directly quantify the force applied to the pedals, offering an accurate representation of work output. This data enables cyclists to tailor their training intensity based on individual fitness levels, track progress, and set specific performance goals. Additionally, power-based training allows for effective periodization, ensuring that workouts are strategically structured to enhance endurance, strength, and speed.
State-of-the-Art Power Meter Technology
Our Spinning Bikes are now equipped with the latest power meter technology, providing you with accurate and real-time metrics to optimize your training. These devices are manufactured by 4iii, a well known power meter brand, and are ANT+/Bluetooth compatible.
Special Cycling Software
Through an interactive online platform every participant will be able to connect their bikes, and immerse themselves in a dynamic, gamified experience where they ride through virtual landscapes, participate in races, and engage in structured training workouts. The app utilizes real-time data from connected devices, including speed, power, and cadence, to simulate the outdoor cycling experience.
Flexible Training Schedule
We understand the demands of your busy life. That's why our cycling sessions are strategically scheduled on both weekday mornings and evenings, with 75-90 minute rides.
