Personal performance measurement is also offered so that you can monitor your own fitness progress and get a feel of how much calories you've burned.

Find your inner spinning goddess self through these 5 spin studios and classes.

It definitely isn’t easy to stay motivated and #fitspo throughout the year when it comes to working out, especially when running can get so tediously boring and new mouth-watering gastronomical inventions are unceasingly appearing all over town. With the petulant and unpredictable weather, exercising in the great outdoors can also prove to be a feat. Instead of being stuck in a workout rut and giving up on your fitspo goals the second month of the new year, check out the fitness fad that’s here to stay: spin classes!

Spinning, also known as indoor cycling, is an intense cardiovascular workout that lasts for about an hour. Pump the pedals according to the beat and rhythm of turned up music, where lights are turned down and neon light settings are varied to create a vibrant atmosphere. The intensity of spin classes vary as you go through warm-ups, sprints, or even weights as you seemingly go through hills, mountain peaks and terrains. With changing body positions, resistance and pedal speed, spinning guarantees to push your body and tone your muscles.

What are you waiting for? We’ve rounded up 5 spinning studios and classes in Singapore worth the hype – flick through the gallery to take a look.
