What is RPM?

RPM® is group fun, to great music - without the competition. Professional coaching for 45 minutes helps you match terrain with tempo and all the energy of a small rock concert. RPM® is an awesome workout for improving your aerobic capacity and anaerobic strength. The music driven terrain pushes your body to burn calories and tighten your frame. Under guidance of your Instructor and motivation of your team you will experience slow climbs, short sprints and recovery spins that present no barrier to coordination or boredom. Each workout is performed on stationary cycles that enhance the indoor experience. Available with fixed or free wheels, RPM® cycles come with adjustable handle bars, seat and pedals to maximize your comfort.

Who is RPM aimed at?

RPM® is a cardiovascular training programme that provides fitness enthusiasts with a variety of applications. As an indoor cycling class it attracts different users. For high users of group exercise RPM® is an effective cross training workout. For moderate users it provides a very athletic cardiovascular workout. For non-aerobic users it offers a less intimidating introduction to music driven group exercise. For new users and those with a history of high impact injuries or related conditions the non-weight bearing nature of cycling makes it an appealing choice of exercise.

What options are available for beginners?

New participants to an RPM® class may find the cycling cadence (speed) in seated or standing positions challenging. Your instructor will remind you of the options available for all positions. The standard options include decreasing resistance and/or cadence and remaining in the seated position during standing phases. If you are still not able to maintain competent posture you will be encouraged to stop and recover in the Seated Recovery position. Participants with a limited fitness background or a previous medical condition must seek medical advice.
