PEDDLE-OH!
SPIN IPSWICH
BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART
Spinning is a great form of high
intense low impact exercise and
I’ve always been a big fan.
I actually used to ‘Spin’ twice a week however
when my gym closed I struggled to find a
suitable alternative to my regular peddle
powered sweat fest.
Many facilities now only offer a DVD guided
class but there’s usually a diminished level of
effort and motivation from the group when an
unenthusiastic fitness model with a full face of
makeup and painted nails is leisurely cycling
past a CGI background. You’ll get a far better
workout and more enjoyable experience only
when there’s an actual instructor just in front
of you barking instructions and keeping a
close eye on your resistance dial all to the
tune of some deafen drum n bass. (Reading
this back it doesn’t sound so good but trust
me it’s better!)
Fret not, there is an answer, step forward
our regions only spin specific studio in the
shape of the all new Spin Ipswich, located
within the grounds of Gresham sports
centre, Tuddenham Road, Ipswich and I was
honoured to attend their launch night.
The studio is fitted with 20 brand new top of
the range Bodymax B200 indoor cycling bikes
but you don’t need any specialist equipment,
standard gym attire will suffice, do take a
towel because you will sweat and take a
drink to replace those lost fluids! Open 6
days a week there are classes throughout the
