Spinning is a high-intensity workout that involves cycling on a stationary bike. It’s a fantastic way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, burn calories, and strengthen your lower body muscles. Our experienced instructors will guide you through energising and motivating workouts that will challenge you and help you reach your fitness goals.
Six years ago, I embarked on a journey that forever changed my life. Trained by the prestigious Performance Cycling Group, I became not just a spin instructor, but a passionate advocate for fitness and health. My name is Stuart Drummond, and my story is not just about teaching spin – it’s about overcoming challenges and using them to inspire others.
Life has a way of throwing curveballs. Despite years of leading high-energy spin classes and maintaining what I thought was peak physical condition, I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This diagnosis was a shock, especially as it was triggered by an underlying case of diabetes insipidus stemming from a racing incident. It made me realize that health and fitness are not just about physical strength, but also about resilience and adaptation.
This revelation didn’t dampen my spirits; instead, it ignited a new passion in me. I decided to expand my reach beyond the physical spin studio. I wanted to connect with people who, like me, faced their own health challenges, or who simply had a bike at home and a desire to improve their fitness. This led to the birth of our online spin community.
Our online classes are a 45-minute journey – not just of physical exertion, but of shared experiences and support. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned cyclist or a beginner; our community is here to empower you. Each spin session is more than just a workout; it’s a testament to what we can achieve when we unite in the face of challenges.
I believe in the power of community and the strength we gain from each other’s stories. My fight against diabetes is not just my own; it’s a challenge that many of us face in different forms. Joining our online spin class isn’t just about getting fit; it’s about being part of a family that encourages and uplifts each other.
So, if you have a bike at home and a heart full of determination, I invite you to join us. Let’s pedal together towards better health, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Together, we are stronger.

A proper warm-up is a critical starting point for any effective spin class.
Gradually pick up your pedaling to a gentle pace, with low resistance for a smooth warm-up. Focus on seamless, circular strokes and steady, deep breaths to prepare both body and mind
By slowly ramping up the body's activity level, a warm-up helps reduce the risk of injury. It gently prepares the muscles, tendons, and joints for the vigorous exercise to come
During the class, you'll experience a mix of seated and standing positions. "Up" movements involve standing pedaling, which can simulate uphill rides and engage more muscle groups.
There's a strong sense of community in a spin class. Everyone rides together, shares the energy, and gets motivated by each other's presence.
As we transition into the cool-down phase of our spin class, it's time to gradually lower the intensity, allowing our bodies to wind down and recover. This stage is crucial for stabilizing the heart rate and preventing muscle stiffness.
We offer a variety of fitness classes to suit different preferences and goals. Some of the classes we offer include Kettlebell workouts, HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) classes, Boxercise (boxing-inspired workouts), and Ballet Barre Fitness. These classes provide a range of options to help improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall fitness levels. Whether you prefer intense workouts or a more graceful approach, we have something for everyone.
Our fitness classes typically run for 45 to 60 minutes.
