There's so much craze around Spin studios nowadays, and for good reason! Those classes are fun, and you get a great workout. But the truth of the matter is, these popular boutiques are available in very limited locations. Like, there are four SoulCycle locations in the Hamptons, and maybe 17 in NYC, but not a single one in San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Seattle, or Nashville.
We're a bit spoiled in San Francisco, and get to take advantage of all types of Spin studios, including one of our favorites: Wheel House. We wanted to bring the fun to everyone who doesn't have a boutique cycling studio in town, so we asked one of our favorite Wheel House instructors, Avery Johnson, to create a program for you. If you're reading this from a cycle-less locale, you can now get the Spin without the studio!
Avery's program is founded — as most Spin classes are — on a high-energy, intense, dance-centric playlist. She brings all the edge, fun, and bright pop sounds of an on-trend San Francisco playlist, curated and selected by BPMs for a strategically planned class.
Here's her mix for your next cycling session at the gym, complete with her notes for each song. Read through and get an idea of how your "class" will go. Trust us, you're going to feel like you're right there in the studio with these sweet beats and Avery's thorough instructions.
