Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

httpswwwfitmappedcomblog2014cyc-fitness-review-and-qa[1202014 50504 PM]

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

httpswwwfitmappedcomblog2014cyc-fitness-review-and-qa[1202014 50504 PM]

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

httpswwwfitmappedcomblog2014cyc-fitness-review-and-qa[1202014 50504 PM]

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

Get Your Tickets to the Show

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

Get Your Tickets to the Show

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

Get Your Tickets to the Show

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Cyc Fitness Review and QampAPosted on January 17 2014 by GabrielleW

This week I was lucky enough to try out Cyc one of the newest and most anticipated cyclingclasses on the scene in NYC In a market that is already filled with some all-star favorites Cychas found a way to stand out with a dance-party vibe and a ride that works ldquothe whole bodythe whole timerdquo Cyc initially opened in Madison Wisconsin where the student population ishigh and caters to a younger crowd with its lower price point ndash $25 per class in NYC ndash andclub-like atmosphere

Irsquove taken quite a few cycling classes before but this class was definitely unique in its whole-body method From the very beginning it was obvious this would be an interactive class myclass was taught by Cyc Method creator Keoni Hudoba who is clearly very passionate aboutwhat he does and had the whole class hollering and getting amped up before the class began

Once the class began we had a few warm-up songs which were tougher than my averagewarm-up We started strong just getting the legs moving with some resistance and we quicklymoved into full-body moves with and without weights The weights in the class are notdumbbells but instead weighted sandbags which makes them easier to maneuver while

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

Get Your Tickets to the Show

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

cycling When creating Cyc Keoni wanted to incorporate as many activities as possible to getthe best full-body workout while cycling we were also doing boxing moves swimming playingvolleyball and more For four songs we moved through various sports with our weights Thismay sound slightly confusing but trust me it works when yoursquore on the bike By incorporatingdifferent activities you get to work so many different muscles and get a wide range of motionand itrsquos fun to imagine playing all these sports while cycling

Aside from ldquoplaying sportsrdquo on our bikes we also did some traditional cycling activities such asclimbing hills and sprints Through all our movements Keoni was cheering us on and getting usinvolved which made the class feel more like a team and also helped me feel encouraged tocontinue when I was ready to break down I think this team-like atmosphere is unique to find inany fitness class especially one where you are each on individual bikes This is a really strongpoint of Cyc By the end of the class I was exhausted and dripping with sweat but I was alsoexhilarated The high energies of the class and the teacher were contagious and as we leftclass most people hung around chatting and thanking Keoni rather than rushing to the lockerrooms which is rare to see

Bottom line I loved this class I think itrsquos a completely unique and amazing workout and I thinkeveryone should give it a try

After class Keoni was nice enough to sit down with me and chat about Cyc fitness and health[interview below] As I mentioned earlier Keoni is the creator of the Cyc Method and is arenowned trainer The Village Voice named him Best Trainer in 2012 he is an Under Armoursponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and the creator of the DRENCHEDmethod He is also a fitness success story See below for all the details

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Thank you Keoni

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Q How did you get into fitness

Thatrsquos a lot Irsquoll try to keep it to a minimum Growing up I was obese and was an opera majorPerforming was my life I went to an audition in college and the director told me I needed tolose weight if I wanted to be serious about opera and right after that it just hit me like a brick Istarted to take fitness classes and then was asked to start teaching classes and from then onone thing led to the next and the ball just started rolling And really in the last four years is whenmy career took off Itrsquos unbelievable to be able to do what I love I pinch myself all the timebecause I canrsquot believe this is where my life has taken me And thatrsquos why Irsquom truly a believer inldquoanything is possiblerdquo

Q Do you still sing at all

A I dohellip in class People ask me all the time if I miss the stage but Irsquom on stage every nightItrsquos just a different venue I get a workout in myself and I get to entertain people Itrsquos amazing

Q Why did you choose cycling

A I was teaching everything before DRENCH my first method which I launched at Equinoxwas all plyometrics and martial arts and then I went to Barryrsquos and was teaching treadmill-floorSo I was like how can I challenge myselfhellip and I didnrsquot know where to go next I took cyclingall the time and was like how can I change this and make it different from whatrsquos alreadythere I really want to take people out of their element and bring them into a show I wantpeople to feel like this is really interactive and they can be anything they want to be and liketheyrsquore part of the show

Q When yoursquore not cycling whatrsquos your favorite workout

A Irsquom a huge believer in cross training There are my fellow Under Armour trainers ndash NatalieUhling has a class called NuFit itrsquos boxing with plyometrics ndash phenomenal Curtis Williams hasa program called Training CAMP I love to be around those people who are going to inspire mejust as much as I inspire them And you really start to find your niche ndash your go-to people Irsquom astrong believer in also having other studios that you go to I go to Flywheel I go to SLTbecause I love other methods I believe that what we do at Cyc is completely different thanwhatrsquos out there and I believe the marketrsquos big enough for everyone

Q Whatrsquos your favorite song to workout to

A Thatrsquos tough I would say right now at this moment Tsunami I donrsquot even know who itrsquos byBut I think that whatrsquos great about Cyc is all the cycologists make their own playlists andeveryone has their different style so I get to learn about so many songs from them And I dothink that music is key itrsquos key for everyone

Q What are your favorite pre- and post-workout snacks

A My favorite pre-workout snack is the mean green smoothie at Liquiteria and I love their PBand banana sandwich on Ezekiel bread My post would behellip this is going to be so bad Myfriend owns a bakery called City Cakes and they have these salted caramel cupcakes ndash thatrsquosmy workout Irsquoll probably go there after this

Q What are your biggest challenges or weaknesses when it comes to fitness and

health

A I think my biggest challenge is Irsquom addicted to food That part of me has never left I think theamazing thing is my passion for fitness counterbalances it Thatrsquos one of my biggest thingswhen I train clients ndash I allow for cheat days and I want my clients to tell me when theyrsquovecheated and I promise wersquoll work it off but I want them to be counscious of what theyrsquoreeating So I think my biggest thing would be food but thatrsquos also why I love owning a fitnesscompany and working out

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Q What motivates you to be stay active and healthy

A One I want to live to be very old to help my family out My family are my 1 fans Two wouldbe having those ldquoa-hardquo moments when I realize where Irsquove come Today I got to go to a schoolto be a motivational speaker and I had that moment of ldquoI canrsquot believe where this has goneand that Irsquom going to be a motivational speaker when I always needed a motivational speakergrowing uprdquo Those moments Seeing people in class knowing that they took the time to cometo see me as their cycologist is more medicine than anyone could ever give me

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Damn girl

When I found out that one of the hardest barre instructors was starting to teach at the baby empire that is

Cyc Fitness I scrambled to get my bum on over there I was excited and nervous at the same time about the

prospect of dying a sweaty death on a bike I have a lovehate relationship with Adina - I am never in as

much pain in a barre class as when I take hers but I just keep coming back for more because reasons Did

she deliver that same level of burn-i-ness in Cyc Yes Hell yes

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

All images via CYC Fitness

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

Check out Keonis RateYourBurn profile or write a review of his class

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Check out Adinas RateYourBurn profile or write a review of her class

Proceed with caution

Heres the thing about Adina - she does not coddle her students Thats just not her style Shes definitely the

type to straight up verbally tell you to work harder fix your form and in this class get on the right foot and

the right beat This is something to bear in mind when you walk into her classes

At Cyc she personally greeted a ton of people before class and explained the five (yes five) handlebar

positions how to use the resistance knob and how to ride properly

The ride

The first thing I noticed was that Cyc like Soulcycle focuses on riding to the beat Adina was adamant about

the class being on the right foot literally A couple of times she said If youre not on the right foot youre

on the wrong foot The structure of the class went something like this

Intro jog with tapbacks - Adina demonstrated what a tapback was for those who had never done them

before

Fast jog with slide backs We slid our bums back every two counts (THIS WAS SO HARD considering our

legs were moving so quickly)

Jumps Runs

FOUR ARMS SONGS (more on this later)

Faster hill

Heaviest hill ever - felt like pushing through sand

Sprints to finish

Stretch

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

What the What

Dudes there were four songs devoted to arm work My friend had warned me about this but I was like pshhh

whatevs Imma take these 5lbers Shit got heavy At Cyc they try to incorporate arm exercises that replicate

sports movements This is what Im referring to

Swimming - freestyle swoops

Boxing - tons of punch variations

Rowing - well rowing with a focus on back muscles

Abs - yes I know this isnt a sport but I cant figure out what sport these moves were similar to Just

regular ab crunches and oblique pulls

The whole arm series was difficult I recognize that I opted for the 5lb weights but hey go big or go home

amirite At one point Adina propped herself on my friends arm and my arm (we were siting together)and

told us not to drop her Cruel Adinas a tiny thing but obvs we dropped her

The Good Stuff

1 Form Check-ins Adina often asked us to check our form whether we were riding or rolling out our arms

with weights

2 Music The playlist was awesome A good mix of EDM hip hop and alternative

3 Personal engagement Adina got off the bike several times and went up to people personally and made

sure they were trying their hardest If she knew the person shed give an extra push

Constructive Crits

1 Positive reinforcements As I mentioned earlier Adina is a blunt person While that doesnt bother me

I could see how it might be a turn-off for some people A little encouragement or a compliment here and

there goes a long way especially to people who are new to class or new to the instructor

2 Biceps please We did a lot of work in our shoulders and triceps but barely any in our biceps Some

more of that to round out the arms series would be great

Conclusion

Adinas Cyc class was undoubtably the hardest spin class I have taken in a very long time From the slide

backs to the extremely heavy hill to all the arms work it was crazy I loved it and I cant wait to go back

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

She needs to warm up to her group and she can rock But cold as ice at Exhale

From the CYC Fitness website What yoursquove heard on the blogs is true Adina is ldquothe one to watch the

one to fear and the one to bookrdquo This athlete is a force of nature Adina moved to NYC after graduating from

the University of Virginia to pursue a career in fashion but the fitness scene stole this Brunei-bred girlrsquos heart

Adina never passes up an opportunity to express herself on the bike and encourages her tribe to make their

mark Intense and unapologetically truthful she promises to deliver a challenge every time she leads a Cyc

road trip

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

This is why you are a blogger Awesome and hilarious review The more I think about this class the more I need

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

CYC Fitness mdash Dara HartmanPosted on January 22 2014 by Evann Clingan

In recent years quite a few indoor cycling studios have opened in the city It takes major differentiators tobreak into the spin scene here But when I heard CYC Fitness which was previously only in the collegetowns of Austin and Madison was headed to Manhattan I was well psyched CYC was created by UnderArmour-sponsored athlete Keoni Hudoba to do three things give college students a place to be social whilethey sweat give back to the community by donating to charity for each mile ridden and give the spin-obsessed a more well-rounded workout All of that is now available inside DavidBarton at Astor Place

This is the first indoor cycling studio in the city to be located inside a fully-equipped gym DavidBarton is alllow lighting thumping music mirrored walls winding staircases and velvet curtains Purchasing a CYCclass credit (called a road trip) gives you access to the entire gym within two hours of your class includingthe giant locker room Thatrsquos a major differentiator CYC all edgy and modern fits right in on the bottomfloor of DavidBarton And the staff couldnrsquot be friendlier I got to meet Keoni when I arrived with fellow fitnessblogger Michelle Roos but Dara Hartman led our road trip

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Dara is a firecracker From the moment we clipped in and started our warmup she was shouting into hermicrophone turning the music up and whipping her hair around CYC has an amazing sound system thebest lights Irsquove ever seen in a studio and an actual drum on the instructor stand Everyone rides with thebeat and completes a series of ldquochallengesrdquo that include tapbacks jumps sprints etc

The big difference from other cycling experiences was the use of weights Everyone used 1-2 lb sandbagweights to complete strength segments inspired by different sports While riding our bikes and holding ourweights we performed movements based on volleyball swimming and boxing The boxing was by far myfavorite Dara put on Snapbacks amp Tattoos which had the perfect beat and even walked up to me to haveme uppercut my weights into her hands And then she told me I was strong after class which made mehappy dance inside Throughout the ride Dara fluidly played with the lights and the drum to compliment herplaylist She led the room with a sassy no-nonsense attitude

I left feeling the workout in my arms legs and abs which is more than I can say about other cycling classesIrsquove been to I also walked out to find the New York Rugby Club waiting to go in for a private road trip I wastempted to clip back in right then but I know Irsquoll be back for more

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

The talk about Cyc and Keoni has been usurping the countrys attention Over here in NY we were getting a

bit whiney about how Wisconsin AND Texas both got dibs on Cyc before us And then the day Cyc was set to

open the snow messed with their mojo and delayed the magic But the doors are now open and the party has

officially started Hands up

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

You are so over indoor cycling

Because I mean there are only so many stroke variations and tap backs you can do on a bike before

everything feels like old news Right Wrong

Welcome to the indoor cycling make-over

CYC just drove the good ol spin class to the surgeon and got a Boob Lift

The first three songs felt like a poppin spin class Song one was a moderate resistance rhythm jog

with extreme sass Songs two and three were jumps that were done in a round It was like we were

creating some elaborate musical composition with our bodies The energy was buck-wild

Songs 4-8 went to town on the arms Yea you heard that right Thats five full songs of arm-related

work You better get those one-pound sand weights yall hear me

You use all your vacay days in 45 min Because youll be traveling to Peru and Jamaica You might

even get to take a ride in Docs Time Machine as Keoni escorts you through the thick waters of Huckleberry

Finns travels down the Mississippi Or maybe thats my vivid imagination Who knows where your mind will

take you when you feel like youre fighting for your life

Its basically an Off-Broadway show Like one of those crowd interactive shows where there are flash

dancers and lights and drumming Its an activity an experience you cannot miss

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

httpblograteyourburncomblogpost20140121CLASS-REVIEW-CYC-with-Keoni-Hudoba-CYC-Fitnessaspx[1222014 114810 AM]

My favorite parts

1 The rowing We used our towels pulled taught as Oars Keoni designated one chick who was rocking a

neon orange t-shirt as our leader He asked her name and told the rest of the pack not to let him drown

While we were doing isolated towel holds at shoulder height Keoni would fall into our towels applying

some serious resistance that made me want to scream (actually I did scream A few NSFW gems even

slipped out) It was redonk hard

2 EVERYTHING with the drum Keoni teased us with a drum that was bathing on the stage in the lights

For most of the class hed sporadically hit it telling us we had to wait for it Then finally during the row

he killed the lights and the room went pitch black Next thing we knew he was beating the bajeez out of

the drum At first I thought he was on stage and then I felt a mega bang to my right and realized the

man is RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM WITH THE DRUM My chest was beating adrenaline was

coursing through me and I felt a pounding inside my core and through my legs and in every fiber of my

being as I PUSHED the damn pedals like they had all of the bad things in my life in them And I prevailed

Perhaps the most exciting moment of 2014 thus far

3 The boxing We did a segment with punching routines using sand weights Keoni called out the sequence

and we followed - Right LEFT RIGHT Left RIGHT RIGHT We were seated for this on thick resistance

but I was getting so into the punches that the arm cardio alone was burn-a-licous Keoni came around

and had us knock the shit outta his hands I think I went a lil cray cray and he announced to the class not

to mess with me Dayum son

Keoni the infamous Keoni

For those of you who are either new to following NYC fitness or have had your head stuck up some cows rear

end for the past few years Keoni is Keoni Hes the man who created Cyc Hes a Barrys Bootcamp master

instructor He once changed lives over at SoulCycle He is a huge Under Armor big cheese And hes also a

really rad guy

There are no words no words I could string together to do this man justice Hes been a personal

inspiration to me (even helped me prepare for a cycling audition way back when) a role model in terms of

shedding a full buck off his weight and someone I think of when I need to channel FIRE

The skipper At many points during the show Keoni propelled himself off the bike and started speed-

skipping the isles of the room during countdowns He got the group in on the action telling us

1098 and immediately asking us how many Wed scream 7 because sht man it burned He

continued how many -6 how many -5 how many -4 how many -3 how many -2 how many

-1 Now usually I shudder more than my chihuahua when it comes to group countdowns but this didnt

feel like an admission application to a cult at all It was just group participation and I was happy to give it

Definitely a tough ass The longer I know Keoni the more I see him DEMANDING excellence At Barrys

Bootcamp he doesnt EVER let you walk on the treads At Cyc he does not tolerate imperfection or

laziness And he does not care if your grandmother is the Queen of England or if you write for The New

York Times - if your form is off if your bike set up is wrong if you are using your celly during his class he

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

will be letting you know that gravy is sour sauce in his class

Operation Diva At one point Keoni was explaining the handlebar positions glanced down and got

distracted By his own deltoid Then he paused and lifted his ripped arm exclaiming Oh shit Got that

from Cyc and carried on This was HILARIOUS

But dont be intimidated There is a reason why Keoni is wildly accepted as DA BOMB DIGGITY in NYC

for upwards of three years now As long as youre willing to give it your all hell get you there Though he

was not happy when a few burners refused to turn their resistance all the way up (letting them know that

he did not go from 300 pounds to 180 pounds by faking it) he was happy to dish modifications for each

ride He can tell when youre working your hardest and when youre just plain too smooth to groove And

burners if you come to CYC you best be prepared to let it loose No stiff riding allowed says the master

1000 PERCENT 247 Keoni hurls himself into his classes From his deliberate music choices to his fluid

bike dances to the sweat that projectiles from his body onto any surface within a three foot radius to his

after-class hugs high-fives and pictures with his burners he is truly the cream of the crop

So did I like it

Dude I freakin loved it Keoni is a leader If you can score a spot in his ride just live in the moment Let your

life and your passion and your groove breathe a little bit If youve grown a little tired of indoor cycling this

class should shake your spin foundation and leave you hashtagging winning on the social mediaz Get ready

to party

This is why you are a blogger Awesome and hilarious review The more I think about this class the more I need

to go back

aww Ripps I just basically copied and pasted everything in your review With a lil Pumpsicle flair lt3 you

oh and yes This is the type of class that the more you think about it the more you realize it is something way

special And then you run to book again

Going Saturday morning So excited

Please dont kick me off of RYB So I took Keonis class at SoulCycle once and I was underwhelmed to be

honest But this class sounds interesting and different and I would like to try it I mean drums Do you think I

should Or if I didnt respond to Soul Keoni will I probably also not respond to CYC Keoni

From the CYC Fitness website Keoni Hudoba is the Creator of the Cyc Method and a renowned trainer

and fitness expert Hudoba hails from Hawaii where he trained his very first clientmdashhimself Keoni underwent

a radical transformation of mind body and spirit and came out the other side over 100 pounds thinner and

much wiser Keoni created a high-energy entertaining full-body road trip that helps riders transform their

bodies and ultimately reach their fitness goals Once you experience the method youll understand why he

was named 2012rsquos Best Trainer by New Yorkrsquos Village Voice His extensive and impressive resume showcases

him as an Under Armour sponsored athlete a Master Trainer for Barryrsquos Bootcamp and creator of the

DRENCHED method (a combination of plyometrics and martial arts) He lives by his motto ldquoNothing is

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

The fastest way to a slimmer body isnrsquot via indoor cycling according toceleb trainer Tracy Anderson who recently told Redbook magazine thatexercisers who only cycle wind up with bulkier thighs ldquoSpin may burn calories in the short term but if thats all youre doing itllbulk up your thighsrdquo said Anderson who is Gwyneth Paltrowrsquos trainer andbusiness partner ldquoI have women who come into my office after spinningexclusively for six months wondering why they canrsquot fit into their jeansrdquo

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing

Does Cycling Make Your Thighs Bigger | Womens Health Magazine

httpwwwwomenshealthmagcomfitnessdoes-cycling-make-your-thighs-bigger[1272014 52711 PM]

So wait when it comes to your thighs does cycling result in inches lostmdashor gained

First of all letrsquos get a couple of things straight ldquoBulkyrdquo doesnrsquot actuallymean anything not definitively at least Muscle tone vs bulk is really in theeye of the exerciser And a fear of ldquobulky thighsrdquo is a ridiculous reason notto do a workout you love thatrsquos been shown time and time again to be greatfor your heart strength and cardiovascular fitness

MORE Your Best Cardio Workout Cycling

However when the muscles in your legs get stronger they tend to increasein size ldquoIf you were to ride at heavy resistance for a long duration of timethere is a possibility that you may gain more musclersquordquo says Keoni Hudobacreator of the Cyc Method and cycling instructor at NYCrsquos Cyc FitnessAnd if yoursquore not losing fat as you gain muscle your jean size is going to goup

Still itrsquos hard to imagine a cycling class that doesnrsquot lead to fat lost aroundthe legs Case in point When Harvard School of Public Health researchersstudied more than 18000 women over a period of 16 years they found thatthose who biked as few as five minutes a day gained less weight than thosewho didnrsquot ride In fact cycling at a comfortable pace a 135-pound womancan expect to burn through nearly 500 calories in a single hour And themore muscle you gain the faster your metabolism

MORE Sculpt a Lean Body

But in general strength training (even when itrsquos from spinning wheels)doesnrsquot make women swoll the way it does men Our low levels oftestosterone make it pretty darn difficult to build bulging musclesaccording to the American Council on Exericse

Bottom line If yoursquore a cycling fanaticmdashgood for you and keep onpedaling And if yoursquore thinking about trying it out but feel freaked abouttree-trunk legsmdashseriously stop stressing
