]]>Tips for new riders at Spynergy.....things you should know!http://www.spynergywellesley.com/blog/2012/5/10/tips-for-new-riders-at-spynergythings-you-should-know.htmlSpynergy Web Person2012-05-10T15:47:14Z2012-05-10T15:47:14Z

1) Reservations are not required, but they hold a bike for you, AND psychologically commit you to working out!  Remember, you can reserve up to one-week in advance and you can cancel with no penalty anytime up to 12 hours in advance.  Please remember to sign in at the front desk!!! 


2) Wait list system.  If a class is sold out....add your name to the online wait list and you will receive an email if a space clears (which often happens).  If the wait list is full, you can book another class or check back later.


3)  Bringing a friend.  Our system now allows you to book a reservation for a friend and charge them to your account...if you have visitors feel free to use this feature (your guest will need to fill out a waiver at the studio).


4)  Connecting.   We love to hear from you.  Please feel free to post  on our Facebook Page or even better, email us your comments and song suggestions to info@spynergywellesley.com   If you want to see our music playlists and other interesting info....visit the Spynergy Blog (connected to website).


5)  Parking. Please use the space in front of Spynergy, but NOT at the far end by Bertuccis.  You can also park in the lot behind Spynergy and on Laurel Street.


6)  Bike set up. Please ask any instructor any time to get you set up properly on the bike. It makes the class safer and more comfortable!

]]>Why a cycling studio? 8 Reasons it just works.http://www.spynergywellesley.com/blog/2012/4/8/why-a-cycling-studio-8-reasons-it-just-works.htmlSpynergy Web Person2012-04-08T22:07:46Z2012-04-08T22:07:46ZBack in 2003 Bill and Alex visited their sister's cycling studio outside Chicago and absolutely loved what she had created there.  At the same time, Bill....fresh off a series of basketball and running related knee injuries, began outdoor cycling and exploring the classes at other indoor cycling studios, as well as officially licensed Spin® studios in the Boston area.  He became hooked.  At the same time, Alex said "why don't we open one in the Boston area"? Spynergy in Wellesley is now over 7 years old and it just seems to work...at least according to a number of testimonials.  Why?  Here are 8 reasons.

  1. Convenience.  Purchase your ride package and schedule your classes online from anywhere.
  2. Peace of Mind.  Reservations assure you of a seat, no worries about getting shut out.
  3. Pay as you go.  No memebership necessary, you can purchase classes as you need them.
  4. Conditions.  We care deeply about the quality of bikes, music, ventilation, lighting.
  5. Music and Video.  It matters.  Instructors are asked to cultivate unique playlists.
  6. Community.  This is a small place with a strong community feel.
  7. Personal service.  We care about your experience and will set you up properly
  8. Instructors.  Most important of all.
