SPINNING - COMING SOON

501SPIN is an innovative indoor cycling program launching on or before September 1st. Dawn Doll in partnership with 501F1T brings you this new approach to cardiovascular spin training utilizing the Realryder® and Krankcyle®. The Realryder is the first indoor cycle allowing you to steer and lean, simulating the experience of a real road bike. The Krankcycle, a cycle for the arms and upper body, provides a new way to build aerobic capacity and upper body strength while burning calories and enhancing core stability.

This new approach includes the upper body and recruitment of core muscle groups unlike any other program in the Twin Cities. Through this total body approach you can reach a new level of cardiovascular training that is physically, mentally and emotionally engaging and gratifying. 501SPIN also provides a unique opportunity for athletes to cross train. It also offers exercise for special populations including prenatal women, those rehabbing from injuries, inexperienced cyclists/spinners and persons with disabilities (501F1T's facility, elevator, locker rooms and showers are fully wheelchair accessible).

The program's Founder, Dawn Doll, has numerous fitness certifications across many spectrums and is a highly qualified trainer and coach. Her energy and passion will inspire everyone seeking to improve their life, health and body through exercise. And she will give you the best spin workouts of your life!
