Edge Cycle Turns Up The Heat In Holborn With Indoor Spinning… Boot Camp Style!

Sweat drips from your nose as your legs spin faster than the speed of light… or so it seems. It is pitch black and you start confusing the beat of your heart for the thumping bass, completely immersed in the music and distracted from the burn of muscles you didn’t know you had. The lights come on and it’s off the bike and down on the map with dumbbells, for a blur of squats, burpees and press-ups. You may want to give in but the voice at the front of the room reminds you that ‘the pain is worth it’.

Welcome to Edge Cycle’s Boot Camp.

Edge Cycle is one of Central London’s newest indoor cycling studios, embracing neon lights and motivational beats. This week the Holborn studio launched its Boot Camp edition, with a fusion of fast-paced cycling and floor-based exercises, to get your heart rate up and burn calories long after the class has finished.

Never tried spinning before? We guarantee that after one session you’ll be hooked. Edge Cycle’s Boot Camp caters for every level, so for more experienced cyclists, the challenge is on. State of the art bikes allows you to choose your own level of resistance, although beware the cheeky lurking instructor, bumping it up a notch when you least expect it!

Although tempting to check in on the neon clock at the front, your 45-minute session will fly by as your instructor spurs the group on – and by the end, you’ll have burned up to 1,000 calories. The classes are also designed to improve posture and cardiovascular health, through a low impact, high intensity, resistance workout both on and off the bike.

We can see Londoners forming a very healthy obsession with this funky indoor spinning craze. Especially if our US fitness friends are anything to go by. Edge Cycle is challenging the conventional gym spin session and we’re giving it the welltodo London tick.

Classes start at £15. Edge Cycle also offer a FREE Learn to Ride class.
