Something NEW is Coming to indoor cycling at Actif

This, we are launching brand-new technology software across our programme. For customers who already love spin, don’t worry — the classes you enjoy won’t feel unfamiliar. The biggest difference that will be noticed is a fresh new look and feel, with updated visuals, graphics and class styles to elevate rides.

What’s new?

Our new Cycling experience gives the option to connect a phone to the Intelligent Cycling app at the start of the class. This allows attendees to:

  • See exactly which training zone you’re working in

  • Track your power, effort and performance

  • Review your stats after class, from the comfort of home

Customers can still enjoy the class without using the app — but connecting gives a better, most personalised experience.

We’re also introducing a refreshed spin timetable, with different class types to suit how you like to ride.

New class styles to choose from

POWER RIDE

Best for: Regular riders, goal-setters, anyone who likes structure and progression

Power Ride is a focused, performance-led spin class. You’ll be guided through different levels of effort, with time to push hard and time to recover.

If you like knowing how hard you’re working and enjoy challenging yourself, this is the class for you. You can connect to the app to track your effort and see how your fitness improves over time — but you can also just ride and follow the instructor.

(This class is most similar to the Coach by Colour sessions you may already be familiar with.)

RHYTHM RIDE

Best for: Beginners, music lovers, anyone who wants a fun, motivating workout

Rhythm Ride is all about riding to the beat. The music, lights and visuals create an immersive atmosphere that keeps you motivated from start to finish.

You’ll be encouraged to work at your own pace, making this a great choice whether it’s your first ever spin class or you just want a workout that feels energising and fun.

ADVENTURE RIDE

Best for: Visual learners, those who enjoy variety, riders who prefer an immersive experience

Adventure Ride takes you on a journey, with scenic routes and visuals displayed throughout the class. Your instructor will guide you through the ride, helping you adjust your effort as the route changes.

You can choose how you ride it — push yourself for a more challenging workout, or simply enjoy the journey while building fitness in a motivating, engaging way.

VIRTUAL RIDE (non-instructor led)

Best for: Suitable for everyone with sessions on throughout the day

A flexible ride option using the app. Members can ride independently or follow virtual classes at their own pace, either in the studio or remotely.

Launch date on Monday 16th February

Customers need to check timetables at their nearest leisure centres as provision will be different in each Leisure Centre.

Amman Valley will be launching later — we’ll keep you updated with dates via the Actif App – keep an eye out.

 

New to spin?

If you’ve ever thought about trying spin but weren’t sure where to start, this is the perfect time. 

We’ll be offering the chance to:

  • Have an induction in the spin studio 

  • Get set up on the bike (and the intelligent cycling app, if interested in using it) 

  • Learn what to expect before a first class 

No pressure. No experience needed. Just a great way to get moving in a supportive environment.

If you’re interested, simply ask to speak to one of our fitness instructors next time at an Actif Leisure Centre — they’ll be happy to guide you through everything.
