Frequently Asked Questions

First Class & Studio Experience

Should I arrive earlier the first time?

Yes. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class so we can show you the studio and help adjust your bike settings. For safety reasons, first-time riders are not permitted to join once the class has started.

What should I bring for my first spin class?

You only need to bring a reusable water bottle and your favorite gym shoes. While we offer clip-in shoes at no charge, we generally recommend using your own shoes for your first two or three classes, until you feel fully comfortable.

Everything else is provided at the studio, including workout and shower towels, shampoo and shower gel, bathroom essentials, hair elastics, earplugs, and more—so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience.

What shoes should I bring for spinning?

What should I bring for my first reformer class?

You only need to bring a reusable water bottle and grips socks. Grip socks are mandatory and can be purchased at the front desk if needed.
