At Level Fitness we offer indoor cycling classes taught on The Real Ryder.  The Real Ryder bike not only gives you a cardio workout and strengthens your legs, but it also conditions your core and upper body while improving your balance, burning more calories than a regular "spin" class.  It does this by having a unique articulating frame that allows it to steer, turn, tilt, and feel like an actual road bike.  No longer are you simply just pedaling on a rigid stationary indoor cycle.  This is the first real break through in indoor cycling in 20 years.  A class on the Real Ryder is unlike any other cycle class you have ever experienced.

Rules of the Ride

  • Registration for class can be made up to one week in advance for members.  Non-members may register 48 hours in advance  Walk-ins will be allowed if space permits.

  • Cancellations must be made at least two hours prior to the class start time.  Reservations that are not cancelled will be billed as though the class were taken.  Members will be billed $15.

  • Sign up only for yourself.  Reserving space for others is not permitted.

  • Arrive at least 5 minutes early to set up your bike.  Those late for class risk forfeiting their bike to wait-listed participants.

  • Inform the instructor at the beginning of the class if you need to leave early.

  • Tell the instructor if you are new to the class or have any medical considerations, including injuries, pregnancy, or special medications that might require modifications.

  • Go at your own pace and wear a heart-rate monitor.  (These are highly recommended!)

  • If you feel faint or dizzy, slowly stop pedaling, pull up on the resistance knob brake to stop the momentum of the wheel and carefully dismount the bike.

  • Wear cycling shoes or athletic footwear with hard soles.

  • Place personal belonging on hooks or store to the side of your bike away from the aisle.

  • Set up your bike properly to fit your body.  Adjust your seat height, fore/aft position, handlebar height and position of foot on the pedal.  Request assistance from your instructor as needed.

  • Keep your bottles and towels on the bike.

  • Turn your cell phone off or silent during class

  • Maintain control of your pedal stroke, and keep some resistance on your bike at all times.  Increase and decrease resistance and/or speed, as directed by the instructor, to match the workout profile.

  • Do not mount the bike while the fly-wheel is in motion.  Stop the bike by using the brakes and carefully dismount the bike.

  • Stay for cool-down and stretching, as they are important components of class

  • Inform the instructor or management of any issues regarding your bike so that the proper maintenance can be performed before the next class.

  • Wipe your bike free of sweat and raise the seat and handle bars all the way up to prevent rusting

  • Be considerate of your fellow members and refrain from taking back to back classes during prime-time club hours.

HAVE A GREAT RIDE!!
