Cycling
PST offers indoor season of cycle training! Bring in your road bike and connect it to our Peloton cycling trainer. Peloton is a fully equipped system with over 250 courses providing real-time feedback on power, heart rate, speed, and stroke efficiency.
The first weeks will include a lot of low intensity cycling and stroke analysis to build a strong base for later classes. This is a fully coached course led by Jullian Baxter, MA,
USAT Level II and Braxton Michael, BS, USAT Level I. Our PST Coaches will not be working out while you are; they will be focusing on improving your form during your workout for you to get the best results. By the end of the course we will move into workouts of greater intensity and duration to prepare for the upcoming summer.
The course meets for 90 minutes twice a week. You have the choice among the following morning and evening sessions:
6:00 AM – 7:30 AM (WF)
5:00 PM – 6:30 PM (TR)
7:00 PM – 8:30 PM (WF)

Make sure you bring your road bike to all classes. We do not have spare bike for you to use!
