RPM

What is it?

RPM™ is a 50-minute indoor cycling class based on outdoor riding. You ride to inspirational music over the equivalent of 15-20 miles of varied terrain, controlling the intensity of your workout with a resistance dial and pedal speed.

RPM™ class

Your RPM instructor will lead your ride through nine music tracks, using various riding positions and speeds to suit the terrain

  1. Warm up - warms up the legs and increases core temperature. The pace is easy and resistance light.
  2. Pace - speed and intensity increase as riders work toward top personal pace. The road is flat until we encounter a small hill designed to warm up the climbing muscles.
  3. Hills - the first set of hill climbs, designed to increase leg strength and endurance. Riders are coached through the positions, resistance and intensity.
  4. Mixed Terrain - recover at first; then stay in the working zone through a series of short climbs, fast descents and sprints.
  5. Intervals - this is like a cycling time trial where we look to cover the most amount of distance in the shortest time. The road is flat and you’ll be making short attacks out of the saddle and then finding race pace in the saddle.
  6. Free Spin - imagine a flat open road where you ride at your top pace with light resistance.
  7. Mountain Climb - the last working track. The road starts easy and then becomes steeper as we climb to achieve our individual athletic potential.
  8. Ride Home - finish the journey and ride home together. Recovery is the name of the game.
  9. Stretch - a final stretch to complete the workout and assist recovery.

What will RPM™ do for me?

  • Increase your cardiovascular fitness and burn fat
  • Tone and shape your legs, hips, and butt
  • Increase leg strength and muscular endurance without building bulk
  • Burn up to 600 calories in a normal 50-minute structure (RPM™ has been proven to burn up to 800 calories in one hour)
  • Release endorphins to give you that natural high and leave you feeling fantastic

How often should I do RPM?

If you do RPM two to three times per week you will feel fitter, stronger and leaner.

How fit do I need to be?

Controlling the intensity of the workout means riders of all abilities can ride together; from the relative newcomer to the elite athlete. As you ride more frequently, you’ll become fitter.
