What is a Spin Class?

16 October 2025

Imagine stepping into a room where the outside world fades to black, lights pulse gently, and the only thing that exists is you, the bike, and the beat. This is Ride by SAINT, our signature spin class. It’s so much more than just indoor cycling, it’s an immersive, full-body experience, designed to let you move, breathe, sweat, and reset – all at once.

At its core, a spin class is indoor cycling on a stationary bike – Depending on the studio, bikes may have resistance levers to simulate hills or sprint intervals, and some studios track metrics like speed, power, or cadence. At SAINT, we’ve chosen a different path. Here, the music is your guide –  the beat is your driver. There’s no scoreboard, no leaderboard, no distractions – just you, the bike and the beat.

Why Spin Works: Science-Backed Benefits

Low-impact on your joints: Cycling on a stationary bike reduces stress on knees, hips, and ankles compared to running, making it accessible for a wide range of fitness levels.

Cardiovascular health: Regular cycling can improve heart health, VO₂ max, aerobic capacity, and overall endurance.

Muscular endurance & strength: Your legs, glutes, core, and even upper body engage throughout climbs, sprints, and seated or standing intervals, improving both endurance and strength over time.

Mental focus & clarity: The immersive environment of a Ride class allows your mind to switch off from daily stressors, improving concentration and leaving you feeling mentally refreshed.

Anaerobic output & lactic threshold: Interval-style climbing and sprinting enhance your ability to sustain high-intensity efforts, making spin a perfect complement to running, hiking, or any endurance sport.

Versatility: Whether you’re training for a marathon, building endurance for a high-intensity sport, or simply looking for a midweek mental reset, spin adapts to your goals.

The SAINT Experience

What sets Ride by SAINT apart is our ethos: music, movement, human connection. The bikes are fitted with cleats, giving you a secure, joint-friendly connection to the pedals – safer than flat shoes and essential for powerful, controlled movements. Clip in, find your rhythm, and let the room guide you. In a dark room, you’ll feel the power of moving as one, while still moving at your own pace – Each session becomes a personal journey. whether you’re sweating it out, clearing your mind, challenging your body, or connecting with friends.

 

This is not a one-size-fits-all workout - Ride is yours to take:

• Decompress & de-stress after a long day.

• Boost fitness & strength while improving body composition.

• Train smarter for endurance events or sports without pounding the pavement.

• Socialise & move with friends in an environment built for connection.

At SAINT Studios, Ride isn’t just about cycling. It’s about creating a space where your mind, body, and spirit can align – where movement is joyful, music is motivating, and connection is inevitable.

So, whether it’s a midweek reset, a weekend sweat session, or a training boost for your next big challenge, Ride by SAINT is here to move you – fully, intentionally, and all at the beat.

FIND YOUR BEAT, MOVE AS ONE.
