Judging from the latest trend in fitness, what’s old is new again. Indoor cycling is all the rage and it’s moving beyond drop-in classes at the gym. Contributing to the hybrid fitness craze are a new wave of classes that combine spin with either yoga or strength training. LA-based Yas is a hybrid of yoga and spinning , while New York’s SoulCycle turns indoor cycling into a total body workout – students use resistance bands or hand weights to work their upper body while also cycling. Besides hybrid spinning classes, indoor cycling studios seem to be on the rise. Flywheel, a national chain, is having no problems getting people to come in for its

$25 indoor cycling classes. The company has plans to open locations in seven more cities within the next six months. The idea of paying for a spin class might seem crazy, but it wasn’t too long ago that going to a yoga studio had people scratching their heads. The benefits of an indoor cycling studios are many: abundant bikes, complimentary cycling shoes, and a wide variety of classes. These studios also offer the latest stationary bikes and have the kind of amenities you’d expect from any upscale studio or gym. Source Would You Pay to Take a Spin Class? Yes No
