All year cycling concept introduced at Cyclopark
Cyclopark near Gravesend in Kent has enabled the concept of offering cycling all year round - regardless of either the weather or a visitors' goals or fitness level - with the introduction of indoor cycling classes.
The new classes, which take place in a dedicated studio twice a day Monday through to Friday and once on Sundays, are all conducted to music and will be led by fully qualified and experienced instructors.
The move, using a new fleet of Schwinn indoor cycling bikes, follows the increase during the past year of Cyclopark's Cyclofit programme of indoor classes aimed at giving people the opportunity to exercise all year round.
These already include boxing, kettlebell and stretching classes, with the cycling classes having been introduced to provide a link between them and the activities available on the outside tracks.
Externally, the 43-hectare site, brainchild of long-term cycling enthusiast Tony Mack, offers a 330m CycloBMX track; Cyclocircuit, a 2.9km circuit for cycling, skating and running; Cycloterrain, 6km of mountain bike trails; the Cycloskate skateboard, scooter and freestyle BMX arena; and - for visitors below the age of 8 - Cyclokids, a 3,000sq m cycle-based playground with water, sand, climbing frames, percussion music and a sensory garden.
