Spin spin sugar
Jan. 06, 2009 Filed in: Personal
Last night I took a spinning class at Sand Canyon Cyclery in Irvine. It’s been a couple of years since I last took a class and wasn’t sure what to expect from this location. I believe they just started offering spinning classes and I’ve seen them as they’re located in a strip center where one of my favorite places to eat is located.
So, I took a chance and went to the 7 o’clock session. What the heck...the first class is free! The facility is nice and clean. They took their shop and dedicated a portion of it to building a workout room. It’s a good sized room that fits 10 bikes. Kudos to them for taking the chance and seeing if this build-out is going to work for them. I got there and found that there were only two other people in the class. One thing I will say about spinning classes...the more people in the class, the better the energy and the better the class. I was a little disappointed to find only two others in the class. But, such is life.
Maleah was our instructor and she did a good job with the class. I’d go to another class but I’m a little concerned that not many people are going to these classes. I asked Maleah after the class if any of the other classes were more full and she said the 5:30am class got pretty packed. 8-9 people she said. They do have a cool onlline reservation system where you can sign up and buy classes. A quick check of their site just now shows only one person signed up for the 5:30am class tomorrow.
My issue with this gym is that the classes aren’t at good times. The 7pm class last night was to late. I got home about 8:30 and it was almost 9 by the time I had dinner. I didn’t want to eat before the class and would rather had the class at 6pm or 6:30. A 5:30am class seems to early. How about 6am or 6:30am?
I think I’ll check around for other gyms and classes. I enjoyed spinning again and would like to continue it but not sure if this is the place for me.
