Full Mind, Full Body, Full Psycle
We attended a complimentary class
Full Psycle was created by three unique individuals with different fitness backgrounds who came together to create a full body workout that would be the average spin class forever. The duration of the 60-minute class consists of multiple 2-3 minute long races, steep hill climbing, downhill sprints and strength training. Each class combines hand weights to build strength in arms, back and shoulders. Plus working your core with dips, push-ups and side bends while cycling simultaneously. Yes…I said push-ups while you’re cycling! Intense!
I walked into a Costa Mesa office building, to a smaller than usual studio front and quickly realized this cycle studio was a place to work out! It wasn’t the traditional bright, trendy hang out or scene that I was used to with catching up with friends, but rather a race to the finish. Strap into your Ion Blade Bikes, turn up the resistance and cycle your hot sweaty ass off! No cutesy dance moves or cooldowns in this place, true fitness gurus come here to compete!
Brandon Moody, one of the highly skilled and energetic instructors, was leading that night. He quickly got the entire class amped up. We strapped into our bikes on their stadium style platform, began picking up our pace and then Brandon hit the lights. The room went dark and we only the right neon lights illuminating us. In the front of the room there are four large flat screen TV’s that monitor your heart rate, calories burned, pace and ration. I found myself not only racing myself, with setting my own personal goals but against everyone else in the class. If you’re as competitive as I am, you’ll push yourself to get ranked at the top. Within minutes, Brandon was cheering us to push and climb, chanting “Treat each race like it’s the last….push, push, push!
As the class drew to a close, the room smelled of sweat and satisfaction. Not one person in that room slacked off because if you did, everyone would know from the flat screen TV’s results!
If you’re an athletic person who’s not afraid to get down and dirty, I absolutely recommend becoming a member of Full Psycle. It’s a great way to full your mind, body and psycle psyche!
