I used to hate spinning. I'm talking really, really hate spinning.
Somehow, I got talked into going to StarCycle in the Spring of 2015. I went once, and I was on the verge of death. I went a second time and a third time, and I didn't know if I would make it. I went a 4th and 5th time, and then a 6th, 7th, and 8th, and now I truly can't live without it. I have fallen hopelessly in love.
This place is the real deal. It is the absolute BEST workout I have EVER had. The lights are dim, the music is loud, and the instructors push me to dig deep and give it everything I've got. It's impossible to leave the room without dripping in sweat, and that's exactly what I want when I have 45 minutes to give and am looking for the best possible return. StarCycle pushes me in a way I could never push myself.
The staff here is truly incredible. They greet me with a genuine smile when I arrive, and although the instructors really do each have their own unique style, I feel pushed and challenged and totally worked over (in the best possible way) every single time. Although I truly have loved every class, Lauren is my perfect match...she makes me feel like I can conquer the world, both pushing me to my physical limits and filling me up with words of encouragement and inspiration. The company and staff also have a significant presence in the community, and I appreciate that. I have been a part of a number of charity rides that they have generously hosted and have been introduced to many wonderful causes as a result.
If you take your first class and feel like dying, stick with it. Every ride gets easier, but every ride will always be hard enough to be oh-so-worth your time. Enjoy getting your booty kicked in the dark...you'll come out holding your head that much higher in the light as a result. read more
