Ins and Outs of Indoor Cycling

Where do i park?

Parking around back behind Fine Thyme Cafe next to Kenai Comfort Plumbing. **However, if you are a 5:30am class attendee, you will park in the front parking lot in front of Redemption MMA and use the entrance in the corner by Artzy Junkin. All other classes utilize the back parking lot.

Arrive Early

If this is your first class arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins. If you've done this before, we recommend 10 minutes early. Your instructor will set you up on your bike, explain the console and screen, and ensure that you are both comfortable and safe for your first ride.

What Should I Wear?

A t-shirt or tank top and form-fitting pants or shorts on the bottom. Avoid long, loose-fitting pants that risk being tangled in the bike. Regular indoor tennis shoes work fine--our bikes are equipped for both biking shoes and regular exercise shoes!

Focus on YOUR Ride

Studio49 keeps the cycle theater dimly lit to allow riders to forget about others in the class and focus on their workout. Always honor and listen to your body and work at whatever pace works for you, take breaks when you need to, and know that you will get stronger with every ride!

Come Again

It is completely normal to feel discomfort and/or soreness if you’re riding for the first time. Make sure to hydrate before, during and after your ride. Once you ride a few times, you will learn to use your abdominals for support and sit lightly in your saddle. If discomfort continues to arise after a few classes, ask your instructor for help choosing a seat that works for you! Soon you'll see progress and feel yourself getting stronger, and start to crave your spin class!
