Spin Room Instagram Competition

For the month of September we are encouraging members to interact with us on Instagram.  We are giving away a male and female jersey (made exclusively by Jaggad) for someone that regrams our photo.  Simply re post this Spin Room picture and follow us at @spinroom and include the hashtag #trainintorideout.  At the end of the month, one random male and female member will receive a jersey.

North Fitzroy Changes

You will notice a number of changes taking place at The Spin Room. As well as an updated website and booking system, we are making some changes to the studio.  These include movement of the front counter, re installation of coffee machines, a new stereo, some Spin Room artwork and a projector. The photos are of Spin Room members that rode around Corsica with our Social Enterprise partner, Thirvor while the projector will be used for live stats for different classes.  The coffee machines can be used by members for a gold coin donation before classes (simple pod system).

We are pretty excited about the changes and hopefully you will enjoy them as well.  As per usual - we welcome feedback on the changes and on how we can make things better for you.

The Spin Room is on Strava

Did you know that you can join The Spin Room on strava?  This allows you to track both your indoor and outdoor kilometres (through the use of a Garmin or equivalent device).  This actively promotes our "Train in to Ride Out" message.

If you haven't joined, head to http://www.strava.com/clubs/thespinroom and join.  This allows you to compare yourself to other Spin Room members to see how you rank.  Throughout the year we will be running a number of competitions that use Strava to track people and how they are riding indoors and out.

If you need help on Strava or recording your workout using the Watt Bike, please chat to an instructor.

Thanks Sammy

Our beloved Sammy is stepping away from The Spin Room.

Sammy established The Spin Room over seven years ago, many of you fondly speak of the days in Banana Alley. Sammy not only started a place to ride bikes indoors but created a community that we all feel part of. Starting the movement of Train in to Ride Out.  The Spin Room was the first studio in the world to use Watt Bikes and we credit this with Sammy's innovative mindset.

Josh will be taking care of day to day running and you may have met some of our new instructor team. ...

The Spin Room wants to thank Sammy, and we are all sure his energy will live on and he won't be a stranger.

There is some really exciting things happening with The Spin Room, starting with our new website going live yesterday and the new online booking system coming next week!  We will be posting profiles of our new instructor team and look forward to the great times ahead.

Giant 2016 Bike Launch

Recently our good friends at Giant Bikes released their 2016 bikes.  Staff and members were lucky enough to attend member nights at Giant South Yarra and Giant Hampton to preview the new range.  We are very excited by the all new TCR and the updated Propel and Defy road bikes.  Giant have also updated their Liv range of bikes made exclusively for females.  Giant have long led the way with female specific bikes and geometry.  Along with the new bikes, Giant have released a range of Carbon wheels (trust us when we say these rival Zipp and Enve), saddles, shoes and helmets.

Like always, if you are buying a new bike, chat to an instructor for independent advice, and if you are after a Giant – remember to mention you are from The Spin Room for a great deal.

Studio Changes

We are in the process of making several changes to the studio, of which we hope you like.  These will include new class types (typically these will be offered at the 7:30pm session) and new features (including live class metrics, instructor feedback and ways of recording your workouts).  We will also be introducing some new instructors to offer further variety across the different programs.

We will also be making some visual changes at North Fitzroy.  We have also put some new art work and are in the process of changing the layout.  All the photos are of The Spin Room members.  We will update these prints throughout the year from our member ride and events.  We will also feature a number of member photos on our website and on our Instagram feed (@spinroom, #trainintorideout).

As per always, feedback is more than welcome and we encourage you to speak with instructors on things that are working and things that aren't.

New Website...

A Welcome Change…

Welcome to the new website.  It’s been a long time between new clothes and we thought we would finally offer members a site that reflects the business.  With the new site come a new booking engine and hopefully a new way to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events from The Spin Room.  We will be regularly updating members via our blog, as well as posting member photos and offering selected member deals (through The Spin Room and selected partners).

The photos currently featured on the site are from a recent trip organised my Spin Room members to Corsica where the “Thrivor” video was shot.  We want to feature more “Train In” photos and will be organising a professional photographer to attend several classes to get photos of members.

The booking system will be live next week.  With any change, I am sure there will be some teething, so we will do our best to assist with any issues and problems and hopefully you embrace (and like) the change.

New Time Table

You may have noticed some changes at The Spin Room in recent weeks.  While these changes are taking place, we are running a reduced time table (there are no 9:30am classes - see photo below).  This time table will run until mid-September when a new Sprint schedule will take place.  Along with a new time table we are introducing a new website and booking system.  We hope you like the changes and look forward to hearing your feedback.
