YOUR First Ride

We are excited to welcome you and share our revolutionary and exciting way of working out on a bike. We know that trying something new can be sometimes intimidating, but have no fear, Absolute Cycle is here to support you every pedal stroke of the way.

As a first-timer, we recommend you to buy the FIRST TIMERS PACKAGES (10- class). This will give you a chance to get familiar with the rhythm and moves in the class.

HYDRATE

Staying hydrated is key. Be sure you drink enough water before, during and after your ride. Forgot your water bottle? Not a problem…water is available to purchase at the studio.

EAT

Please don’t even try to ride on an empty stomach. We recommend eating a full meal few hours before class or a light snack up to an hour before you ride.

WHAT TO WEAR

Ride in style! We suggest wearing form-fitting pants or shorts, and a light breathable top. Towels and cycling shoes are provided at the studio. If you have your own shoes, our pedals are compatible with Shimano SPD-SL’s.

DO I HAVE TO BRING ANYTHING WITH ME?

Just your smile and a positive attitude! In addition, a water bottle although we do sell water at the studio. Hydration is key! We provide cycling shoes and towels and trust us: You’ll need one (or three!).

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

The energy will be high, the music will be loud and the positivity endless as we search and reach for that breakthrough moment when your body conquers your mind. As well as an Absolute workout, you will train your upper body with light hand weights. Our workouts take your mind off everything, as you feel the endorphins running through your veins. After class we guarantee, you will walk out completely revitalized.

SHOES

The shoes let you clip into the bike, giving you the best cycling experience possible. Clipping in provides a stable, safer ride and allows you to target the correct muscle groups. Cycling shoes are provided at the studio. If you have your personal cycling shoes, we use Shimano SPD -SL cleats. Our shoes go through a thorough cleaning process after each use, so rest assured that they are hygienic and clean.

TOWELS

A workout towel will be waiting for you on your bike. Also, bath towels are provided in the changing room.

CHANGING ROOMS

We have made sure that you can really pamper yourself in our changing rooms. Our studio has men’s and women’s changing rooms complete with showers, fresh towels and a few daily essentials for your convenience. Both are also equipped with hair dryers, so whether you’re getting ready to take on the best of your day or need to shine at your next meeting, we’ve got you covered.

LOCKERS

Lockers are free of charge. We encourage you to lock-up your valuables, as Absolute Cycle is not responsible for any lost or stolen property.

ARRIVE EARLY

Our beats start booming in the dark on time. So, please make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before class. You can easily check-in at the front desk. If you are the first-time rider, please inform our staff and they will show you around as well as tell you more about how the class works.

Rhythm Cycling is a full-body workout and like any new fitness routine, you may have to check with your doctor before you start if you have any medical conditions. Also, if you’re new to Absolute Cycle please let us know – we are happy to answer any questions.

Here some recommendations before your first ride. Tighten all the handles on the bike and make sure your shoes are clipped in. Our instructors are inspirational leaders who will motivate you to push yourself, but please listen to your body and work at a pace that is comfortable for you.

If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms after your ride, please don’t hesitate to seek medical attention.
