Ruckus Cycling Studios To Add To Sparkman Wharf Wellness Lineup

TAMPA, FL — Just in time to keep in shape during the fattening holiday season, Rukus Cycling Studios will open its first Tampa location at Sparkman Wharf later this year.

The fitness franchise headquartered in Orlando will offer high-intensity cardio sessions, muscle-shaping training and amenities like cycling shoes, pH-balanced filtered water, lockers, private showers, changing rooms and toiletries before and after classes.

Members have the option to take heart rate-based classes, measure the effectiveness of their ride using state of-the-art technology or use the equipment any time with a library of pre-recorded sessions.

Rukus Cycling Studios members also benefit from the company’s corporate relationships with lululemon, Peloton and Celsius.
