Psycle
Psycle is one of the OGs of spinning. The classes, led by top instructors, are super energetic thanks to their blend of cardio, weights and choreography, and thumping playlists and flashing lights in the studio. Obvs your body gets put through its paces but the sessions are also designed to help boost your mood and give your mind a workout too. And if you’re a spin pro, you can take on the challenge of 60 and 90 minute rides.
