Spinning at the USC
After a 30km bike ride and climbing 3 first category mountain passes, the class ends with a mass sprint. Who has the strongest legs, the highest explosive accelerating power and the stamina to handle a long sprint?
Spinning at the USC is more fun now than ever before! Guided by uplifting music you will cycle your way to an excellent fitness. Starting slowly; then picking up speed towards the final sprint, and all this while under the expert guidance of a team of very enthusiastic and motivating instructors.
IC& spinning bikes
The award-winning IC7 is the most advanced indoor cycle ever designed. The groundbreaking design and refined functionality of the indoor cycle are primarily due to an innovative 2-phase drive system. The IC7 does without the large central pulley, which is characteristic of traditional bike designs, and therefore has a lower and slimmer profile, making the bike a beautiful addition to your studio or cardio space. But the improvements are not limited to the aesthetic aspect. The 2-phase drive also forms the foundation for the most accurate WattRate® Direct Power Meter on the market (deviation of +/-1%), an extremely precise magnetic resistance with 100 levels, a super-fast flywheel with a transmission ratio of no less than 1:11, and an unparalleled cycling experience thanks to the tangible and directly responsive hybrid Poly-V belt technology. The performance data of the bike are presented to athletes via the technically perfected WattRate® TFT Computer 2.0. This is a fully self-powered computer that clearly displays the power measured by WattRate® or the heart rate frequency in five different color zones for both the athletes and their coach.

FROM COUCH POTATO TO GO-GETTER!
Although cycling and spinning are endurance sports, explosive strength and strength endurance are of great importance if you want to improve. On short, steep inclinations it can be a choice between ‘keep cycling or getting off’. Whether or not you can stay on your bike is dependent on your explosive strength. As well as this, your strength training mainly needs to focus on improving the maximum endurance capacity - strength that can often be developed and kept up for long periods of time with little resistance or weight.
FITNESS SCHEDULE TO FIT
We would advise specialised strength exercises to increase the strength in the legs, as well as taking part in the spinning classes. Because cycling is demanding on the back and core stability, it is important not to forget these muscle groups. Ask our fitness instructors for a workout schedule to fit your needs.
