The instructors or “cycle techs,” will guide riders to find their Sweet Spot, the owners say, a higher power and a faster pace for a stronger ride. The combined cycling training techniques, motivating music and techs will make riders sweat, torch more calories and ultimately give riders a (Swēt) workout to brag about, they say.
“Our method focuses on sport-specific cycling techniques known as Sweet Spot Training (SST) and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to drive performance, improve muscular and aerobic endurance, and create a more powerful, toned body,” said Zajac, Swēt Ride partner. “Our riders can expect an improvement in their overall fitness and a class that will leave them coming back for more.”
