Just a little "no affiliation" recommendation for a cycling specific spin class that has just started a couple of weeks ago in baker st.
It's run by a decen guy who flies over from Dublin specifically for it. I've not done spin classes before, but those that have say this is far better. all I can say is it's a challenge! So far it's been 1.5 hr sessions which include climbs at higher resistance , and a max watt output 8 minute time trial, but I think future sessions will include simulations of some of the more famous French and Italian climbs. Not exactly sure how he does it but says that he follows contodors climbing pattern. Also music wise we've had Radiohead/led zep/Leonard cohen amongst it so far, as well as the obligatory Irish influence (u2 obviously!) but its an often amusing variety. Feels a bit like a sick joke though when your dying a slow and sweaty death to radioheads creep!
Either way, classes are 16 quid, (buy 5 get one free) but are great fun and a good way of building fitness over winter. It's in the fitness first baker st at 1930 every weds, you can register on his site. I'm mainly pushing it because I want it to continue throughout the winter and I think he'll need a minimum number to continue it.
