Indoor Group Cycling Classes 
No need to put your bike away when the weather turns cold! Take advantage of those fall and winter months to learn bike techniques that will increase efficiency and fitness levels, reduce fatigue and drop bike times with immediate results.
In the city, based out of Train Chicago, we use CompuTrainers and your own bike. All levels welcome, no experience is necessary! In the suburbs, we train out of the Trek Downers Grove Store, using adjustable stationary spin bikes on the CompuTrainers.
Our classes are great if you are looking for a professional coach to help you develop technique, form and strength indoors. For both city and suburban classes, please bring your heart rate monitor, a towel and a water bottle filled with an electrolyte beverage.
CompuTrainers are the same technology that professional cyclists use and USA Triathlon rely on to train its top triathletes. Now you can use this technology, too!
Your coach will run everyone through a sustainable power threshold assessment during the first week of class to set power zones. Subsequent weeks of the class will focus on efficiency, endurance, strength and speed. We will also use these power zones with heart rate zones. Only 8-14 spots in each class, so sign up early!
