  • A RIDE class is an Indoor cycling class, also known as spin class – a high-energy fitness workout conducted on a stationary bike. It combines cardiovascular exercise with strength training, offering a dynamic and intense workout experience. At BECYCLE, our RIDE classes are designed to be performance-driven. We combine power and rhythm-based workouts, with a strong focus on performance metrics displayed on the bike’s console. While riding to curated music that enhances both atmosphere and energy, we utilize RPM and Watts to keep us accountable, track progress, and maximize individual performance.  Additionally, we use Performance IQ technology to track and rank your metrics onto a leaderboard at the end of each class so that you can see where you stood amongst the group! These classes take place in our RIDE rooms.

  • A REFINE class is any class that takes place on a mat in our REFINE Rooms: Barre, Mat Pilates, Yoga, HIIT, and STRENGTH.

  • A REFORMER class is a Reformer Pilates class that takes place on a Reformer machine. These classes take place in our REFORMER rooms. What makes our Reformer classes stand out is our attention to the quality of the movement, cueing for functional alignment and breathing techniques to call attention to the mind-body concentration that deepens the specificity of each exercise. 

    At BEYOND, we honour the importance of functional and integrated movement. All of our instructors are extensively trained and qualified in Pilates, ensuring that they understand the “why” of each exercise and can facilitate a meaningful experience aimed at health and longevity. 

    We craft an intentional experience for our students, carefully planning how the flow from one movement will lead to the next, and considering how to best counteract the stress of daily life.

    Please note: Grippy socks are required for these classes!
