Ah spinning. We loved the group ride, the sweat on our brow and feeling our glutes and quads tighten as we climbed.
But the workout left our core and arms feeling a little unloved. And we moved on.
Then we heard about the Real Ryder Spinning Class at Metro Golf and Fitness and two things surprised us. First, that the class is as close to outdoor riding as you can get, with bikes that bend to tighten your upper and lower body. They tilt and lean so you feel like you are on an actual ride, without the risk of 9W traffic. Second, that Metro Golf is actually a stunning, state of the art fitness facility with everything from group fitness to personal training and a batting coach and pilates studio upstairs; oh, and did we mention the golf training?
Try spinning with Marisa on Saturday morning. We did, and literally danced on our bike to tunes from Nelly and Far East Movement while using our core to stabilize and shift the bike. The hour flew by so quickly that we rolled right into her toning Fit Ball class immediately after because we were feeling ambitious (and her enthusiasm didn’t hurt either). On Sunday, our arms and abs were achin’ along with our lower body and we knew we had ridden like the wind.
