I LOVE ATTENDING THE STRETCH CLASS AS IT BRINGS QUIET TO MY BUSY WORLD AND I ALWAYS LEAVE EACH SESSION FEELING REFRESHED AND REJUVENATED. THE INSTRUCTORS GIVE CLEAR DIRECTION AND DEMONSTRATION AND ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE STRETCHES AND THEIR BENEFITS. THEY ALSO OFFER ALTERNATIVE MOVEMENTS SHOULD SPECIFIC STRETCHES BE TOO CHALLENGING OR A PARTICIPANT IS CARRYING A PARTICULAR INJURY. APART FROM THE SOCIAL ENJOYMENT, THE BENEFITS OF THE CLASS FOR ME INCLUDE STRETCHING & LOOSENING ALL MY TIGHT AREAS, INCREASED FLEXIBILITY, MIND AND BODY AWARENESS, GOOD POSTURE AND A FEELING OF WELL-BEING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS.

This is not like any other Cycle classes I’ve been too! The intensity I’ve been able to hit in this class is beyond what I thought I was capable of and it has alot to do with the performance metrics which gives you feedback on what you should be doing, when. This holds me accountable to work harder and it has certainly paid off! My resting heart rate has dropped significantly since starting a regular Cycle classes, I’ve lost weight and its low impact so it’s easy on the old knees which means I can keep doing it often!
