I’m not going to comment on the “8 BEST…” of this Esquire article, but wanted to highlight the following from a Chicagoan and past guest contributor to for the ride inside, included in this article:
Indoor cycling is not just a great way to get your cardio in for the day, but it’s also incredible over a lifetime, because it’s so low impact and easy on your joints. Whether you have your own bike or go to a studio for a class, spin improves your quality of life. Don’t just take my word for it. Brent Locey, a SoulCycle master instructor and owner of Build It Athletics, adds, “Spin is the most accessible and sustainable way for people to maintain and improve their lifelong cardio vascular health. I’ve had people in my classes ranging from 12 years old to over 80. And those people could be seasoned athletes or novices and it is beneficial to all.” When it comes to the low-impact aspect, Locey speaks from personal experience, “I found a love of spin through SoulCycle after two ACL surgeries and an Achilles reconstruction and it has led me to being in the best condition of my life.”
