Heart friendly
- Indoor cycling helps you burn a lot of calories, making it ideal for a healthy heart. and reduces the risks of cardiovascular diseases.
- The accompanying increase in your metabolic rate and muscle tone will, in the long term, bolster the intensity of caloric burn.
- You will benefit by working your upper thigh muscles, backside, and calf muscles, burning calories, and conditioning your cardiovascular system
Rehabilitation & recovery
Lower risk of injury - perfect for aged riders & pre/post natal women
- Because you are riding on a flat surface rather than an uneven terrain, there is lesser risk of strain or bodily injury.
- Indoor cycling has none of the joint shock from continuous impact with the ground that occurs with some other aerobic activities.
- Indoor cycling at SYCLE HUB causes less wear and tear on the joints and muscles and yet still delivers a good cardiovascular workout making it a good option for older people or people with joint problems.
Mental health
- Research has repeatedly married a link between aerobic exercise and improved mental health.
- The positive oxygenation to the brain during exercise releases naturally occurring endorphins that have been shown to significantly reduce stress levels and depression.

Performance Metrics
SYCLE HUB is the first indoor cycling studio in Australia and New Zealand to partner with iQniter Cardio Training - Powered by Suunto.
SYCLE HUB proudly uses the iQniter Cardio Training System to maximise the performance of every class within our schedule and that feeds our Burn Board.Once you are wearing the SUUNTO Dual Monitor you will see your name (or nickname) displayed on the Burn Board, visible on screens throughout the studio.
The Burn Board keeps your ride on track by measuring your Heart Rate (% and BPM), Power output, Cycling Cadence, Energy Consumption (K/Cal burnt) and Training Effect. We call it the great equalizer because it doesn't matter what your level of fitness is, the ride is about keeping you pedaling within the required heart rate zone and the Burn Board helps our coaches to do that.
Our bikes
We use internationally renowned, top-of-the-line Spinner@ Blade. The Spinner@ Blade combines user-focused features with a high degree of adjustibility to deliver best-in-class performance for riders of all shapes, sizes and abilities.POWER! Sycle Hub uses STAGES SC3 Indoor Power bikes with power meter technology to accurately measure rider power output. Sycle Hub is the first centre in Australia to receive and use the STAGES SC3 Power bikes. These bikes use the globally renowned STAGES POWER CRANK and are used by Team Sky in their training and now, you too can use them. NB: Numbers limited to 10 so advance booking required.

Not a lot! SYCLE HUB is Sydney’s premier indoor cycle studio and was named one of the best spin/cycle studios in the world for a reason!
Remember to pack a sweat towel and if you want to enjoy our fully equipped washrooms after the ride, bring your towel. No need to bring anything else - the shower products, deodorant, moisturisers, body creams and other luxe potions and lotions are already there for you!
Bring a water bottle, or you can buy one at Sycle Hub and use our filtered or infused water. Keep drinking during and after our class, indoor cycling is a thirsty business and you are going to sweat!
We provide complimentary fruit and infused water.
What to wear.
- You should wear comfortable workout clothing – no loose pants around the ankles. Padded cycling shorts are great!
- Don’t wear pants that are loose around the ankles – they could get caught in the bike and you don’t want to end up with your pants around the pedal and you red-faced!
SYCLE HUB strongly recommends wearing cycling shoes during our rides. These are special shoes which click into your pedals and enhance the cycling experience. When using these shoes you generate more powerful pedal strokes and target the correct muscle groups to give your legs a fuller workout. They also provide a more stable, safer ride.
Professional cycling shoes are included with all rides at Sycle Hub, subject to availability. NB: Busy rides it is possible we will run out of your shoe size, booking in advance and making sure your profile notes your shoe size will reduce this risk.
If you have your own cycling shoes, our pedals accept a LOOK DELTA, SPD or SPD DL cleat and you are welcome and encouraged to train in your own shoes.
At Sycle Hub we know some of our riders have bikes worth more than the average car - so we have a number of TACX Bushido Trainers with Power output (via smartphone app) that you can use.
Bookings are essential because we have a strictly limited number available and they are only available for our Performance and Performance Plus classes. 24-hrs notice required.
We love music at Sycle Hub!. We use original music where a lot of fitness venues don’t – there is no comparison!
Our coaches each have their own style and pick tracks that suit their taste, the vibe they are trying to achieve and the class goals. We also spend a lot of time finding great, unexpected cycling tracks for our coaches. Together, we create amazing playlists for you, guaranteed to help get you in to the groove and dig deep every ride!
The Burn Board is part of our iQniter Cardio Training system and is displayed on plasma screen throughout the studio.
The Burn Board keeps your ride on track by measuring your Heart Rate (% and BPM); Energy Consumption (K/Cal burnt)* and Training Effect. We call it the great equaliser because whatever your level of fitness is, the ride is about keeping you pedaling within the required heart rate zone and the Burn Board helps our coaches do that. It makes things easy – if you aren’t in the right heart rate zone, you need to add or reduce your resistance – our coaches will help you with that!
*New riders will receive calorie burn and ride report for intro rides. After that, k/cal burn and ride report is available to those who have their own Sycle Hub purchased SUUNTO Dual monitor - sold at cost price of $90
NB: If you are a new rider to Sycle Hub , we ask that you arrive 15-mins before your first class to ensure adequate time to prep and have your bike set up. If you arrive late, we will only be able to conduct a quick set-up to ensure the start of the class is not disrupted.
We have 40 lockers in various sizes allowing you to comfortably hang a suit or securely lock up a handbag or mobile phone.
Cycling involves thousands of repetitions at a relatively low resistance. This should make your legs slim and sculpted and rather yummy! Lifts and tones the butt too!
And ladies, rest easy. Women just are not built to get bulky legs - not enough testosterone, so relax, it's a myth!
As a dedicated indoor cycle studio committed to providing a premier experience, if you're late, regrettably you will miss out. You need to be at Sycle Hub at least 10-15 minutes before the class to ensure you are ready and present on the Burn Board to participate when we start.
Broken neck – ah, no!
A sore back or sprained leg may seem ok, but if you're unsure then please check with your physio or other medical expert first and let your instructor know! If you are returning from surgery, you will require authorisation from your medical practitioner as per our terms and conditions.
If you're in the early stage of pregnancy please tell your coach who will guide you on the heart rate zone to stay within and Sycle Hub will then note this in our system and set up your HR accordingly to ensure our Burn Board keeps you and your baby safely within Dr's advice!
However, we have a great hang out space with colouring books and pencils; and a plasma tv. If your child is old enough to amuse themselves with limited supervision, they are very welcome in our mid-morning, lunch and early evening classes - the early morning and late evening classes, sorry no!
If you are 12-17 years you can ride with parental/guardians permission.
