Suunto System
I am very pleased to say that the Suunto System is now back in operation and functioning well - it took a while and I apologise for any frustration this caused but it seems that we are at the bottom of the problem and trust things will run smoothly from here on out.
Special Offers
Congratulation to our riders who completed the Autumn 10 rides between 10th September and 10th October challenge - your profiles would have been updated with those 2 free rides for you to enjoy at your leisure.
We are hoping to really grow the studio over this winter so if you sign up a friend with a "£50 for 10 rides package" after their intro offer between the 24th October and 24th November we will give you 10 free rides to say thanks for the support.

Forgot to email you feedback after my first ride. Have to say, after having done two spinning classes at the leisure centre and absolutely hated it I wasn’t expecting to like the class. The other one had been in the pitch dark with very shouty man and hideous music. I was very surprised when I actually enjoyed the class with Richard a couple of weeks ago! He was really nice, the music was great (songs I’d heard before, just with a faster beat) and the heart rate system is amazing, really helps you know how hard you are pushing yourself.
Really glad I found you guys!
