What to Expect From A MOTION Cycling Session
MOTION is designed to be more than just another standard “spin” class. Instead, they’ve created a 45-minute session that aims to be inspirational, motivating and “raises your soul”.
They promise a class that is “made with passion” where you can focus on yourself, have fun and get stronger mentally, emotionally and physically. Beyond their standard classes, MOTION offers ladies-only slots as well as extended 60-minute Endurance sessions.
The Reception Service
All three of our attempts to contact the club by phone were left unanswered.
On arrival at the club, service was transactional, with no orientation of the space offered. Our instructor then stepped in and was friendly and asked us a few questions to get to know us. After the class, the team were comfortable talking through the training options and packages.
