Have you been to a Spin class? Have you ridden a bike? They are not the same, not even close. Cycling is about aligning the body properly on the bike so that you can safely and effectively use the muscles to power against the gears in the wheel. Everything- posture, seat height, handlebar height, back [...]
Revocycle Mind and Body is a next generation 'Spin' studio who's entire program is built around getting you super fit on a bike and not hurting your body. We are founded by a 25-year rider, racer with a Ph.D. in science. And, as it turns out, it's NOT how your Spin studio is teaching you. [...]
A simple idea really that really goes against the tide in Spinning and indoor cycling: What if you gave 100% of your attention to cycling form and effort in your cycling class? The allure of multitasking in a cycle class- upper body work, core work, weight lifting- is easy to understand, but it's [...]
Revocycle isn't really Spinning. Our bikes are different from Spinning, our reason for exercising is different, the way we present ourselves is different, the way we teach our classes is different, and our social media is different. Revocycle was started by a Ph.D. biology professor who has ridden bikes for 25 years. Like many [...]
Revocycle is upending Spin classes. Started by a 25 year cyclist with a Ph.D. in Biology, we're for people who want to use a bike to fit. That, unbelievably, is unheard of in the industry. Most cycling studios are started by people who have never ridden a bike for exercise, don't have any Spinning [...]
You may not have realized it, but every Spin bike you've ever ridden is fixed-gear, which means the 50lb flywheel on the bike is literally locked to your pedals. Once you get the wheel turning, it has huge momentum. You can feel the force of it by trying to suddenly stop your legs in a [...]
We know, Spin class seems intimidating and scary and only for SUPER FIT people. But here's the thing.....dance party studios don't know much about cycling or fitness, so that's why they make use of the... Wizard of Oz Compensation: create lots of light and sound and smoke to make people think you are powerful and knowledgeable. [...]
We don't know if you've noticed, but fitness culture is fixated on bodies, celebrities, expensive outfits and #fitness hashtags of 'beautiful' people posing on Instagram. In gym and Instagram culture 'fitness' isn't about being strong and athletic ....it's about being hot and obsessing about sexy bodies. Our founder has been an athlete his entire life: football, basketball, [...]
Spin studios are engaged in a distraction and spectacle arms race- more flashing lights, louder sound, wilder 'dance moves', less clothing, more Victoria's Secret models. Every day a new studio opens somewhere with some new shiny thing to better entertain you and distract you from what you're actually doing. With each turn of the [...]
Revocycle starts with the core belief that exercise is amazing if we only tune into it. This is the same mindset as yoga and barre classes. Weight lifting and running and hiking and skiing and climbing......same thing. A type of moving meditation of strength and focus. Spin classes have lost that sense of being [...]
