Low-impact and high-intensity.

All MINT cycle classes are open to all fitness levels, and take place on LifeFitness bikes with traditional sneaker cages and SPD cleat compatibility, and output monitors to show cadence, resistance, distance and power.

Our cycle program, housed in dedicated cycle studios, takes indoor cycling to new levels. Our classes feature fun and intense rides with the best cycle-specific instructors in DC.

The best part? As a MINT member, you don’t forgo strength training, cardio, yoga, barre, or other class workouts for cycle… it’s all under one roof.

MINTRIDE

MINT’s signature monitor-based class, coached using cadence and resistance-based cues to simulate hills, flats, sprints, and power intervals.

Rhythm Ride

Need to zone out from your tech-driven life and feel the beat? Check out this beat-based ride with on-bike choreography and upper body work. Warning: Dance parties may break out and you may smile uncontrollably!

Chuck Harney

Chuck has been teaching cycling since 1997, and while his teaching style has changed somewhat, his philosophy on teaching remains the same. His style encompasses real world road cycling catered to an indoor studio. It is equally as effective for those who want to train hard or those who prefer to train at a less intense pace.

His fitness philosophy combines an indoor cycling program with strength training and outdoor road cycling. “Being active in different exercises will help to avoid boredom in your fitness program and keep your fitness level higher.” His teaching style is one that challenges people, pushing them beyond their perceived abilities, helping to increase self-confidence and making them a stronger cyclist.

Those who know Chuck know that he does not just preach his philosophy, he lives it. He has spent the past 20 years racing road bikes and competing in duathlons, triathlons and adventure races, as well as being active in strength training and yoga.

True story: Ori walked out of her first indoor cycling class five years ago midway through the second song. A couple years later, she gave it another shot and realized a good instructor, the right music, and a little perseverance go a long way. Her classes promise something for everyone, from the hard-core climbers to the wild speed demons, and her rides will help you leave the studio prouder and stronger than when you walked in. It’s a beautiful gift to have bodies that work…let’s celebrate them! When she’s not cycling, you can find Ori thinking big communications thoughts in the labor movement, trying to make sequins work-appropriate, and drinking obscene quantities of Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee.
