PROGRAMS
Get in the groove with our wide variety of group fitness options.
Group Cycling
The Program
Our Group Cycling program ensures efficient and effective cardiovascular conditioning for all levels of riders. We do this by making extensive use of MYZONE heart rate tracking system to objectively assess fitness levels and training intensity. Additionally, the Group Cycling program is based on the Spinning Energy Zones format to ensure periodized and comprehensive training.
The Ride
Classes consist of riding a cross-terrain course on a ride set to music by the cycling coach. During the class, students will ride in the flats, climb hills in a seated and standing position, and jump in and out of the saddle. There is a gradual emphasis on leg speed and strength, as well as on cardiovascular conditioning.
Our Instructors
All of our instructors are nationally certified through Group Cycling Certification and committed to on-going training at both a local and national level. Our instructor team will help you meet your fitness goals.
Our Bikes
At the Memorial Athletic Club we have 20 Keiser M3i cycles. These bikes use a magnetic non contact form of resistance and are equipped with triple link pedals. The Triple link pedal will accommodate LOOK, SPD and regular fitness type footwear. Once you ride one of these smooth, whisper-quiet bikes you'll never want to ride a different bike. Most every rider will be able to find their set up due to the infinite adjustments of the seat, handlebar and seat-post. All bikes come equipped with a computer which tracks, time, distance, calories, gear, heart rate and power output.

MYZONE is a new innovative heart rate based system that uses wireless and cloud technology to accurately and conveniently monitor physical activity. It monitors heart rate, calories and time exercising that converts into MYZONE Effort Points (MEPs), with a focus on rewarding effort rather than fitness. MYZONE belts are available for purchase at the MAC or MAC for Women.
