Halloween Spin Diary

Yesterday (31st of October) I swapped the sweets for spin! I attended a halloween themed spin class at revolution spin south studio, located on 28 Cohan Street, Pollokshaws. The spin class was fully booked & the atmosphere was next to none. The studio passed the halloween vibe check with orange neon lights and halloween techno music playing throughout the duration of the class. Everyone in the class was motivated and ready to go.

The amazing instructor didn't hold back either! It was a leg-heavy class that pushed everyone limits. The class alternated between intense resistance climbs, speed intervals, and a few eerie slow-burn sections that left my legs shaking. But the real magic came when I hit a personal best of12K on the bike! I've been chasing that number for a while, and reaching it in a class with such great energy felt amazing. I really pushed myself and didn't allow myself any breaks from pedalling throughout the class, Antonia made sure that when there was breaks everyone was still pushing. 

After the class, I felt an incredible mental boost. Hitting that 12K PB left me feeling accomplished and proud, which was the perfect antidote to the everyday stress that can sometimes weigh me down. After a long
day at work the halloween fun was just what I needed. Pushing through the challenging, leg-heavy workout gave me a renewed sense of resilience and strength, reminding me of what I’m capable of when I put my mind to it. Plus, the fun Halloween theme and community vibe made 

the whole experience feel uplifting and energising. I walked away not only with stronger legs but also with a clearer, more positive mindset that lasted well beyond the class.

Cant wait for the next themed spin class!

Fueling Your Ride: A Balanced Guide to Spin Class Nutrition

In spin cycling, nutrition is key to maximising performance and recovery. Whether you're new to spin classes or a seasoned rider, understanding the best foods to eat before and after a workout can make a big difference. Proper fueling ensures you have sustained energy throughout the session and aids in muscle recovery afterward, reducing soreness and helping you come back stronger for your next ride. I am often stuck on what is best for me to fuel my body pre and post class, so I decided to do some research and make a blog post not only to educate myself but also in hope to help others too!

Sunday Morning Spin Diary

Sunday mornings might typically be reserved for lazy brunches or lingering in bed, but this Sunday morning I decided to attend a 10AM Spin class. I attended Revolution Spin, 1 Dowanside Ln, Glasgow G12 9BZ, can be found just off of Byers road. This is the Spin studio I often find myself regularly attending as I love the instructors and the convenience it is to get to. Having not partaken in any Halloween festivities over the past two weekends I felt that a spin class would be the perfect way to start my Sunday and hoped that it would make me more motivated. Walking into the studio, I immediately felt the high energy. The blacked out room, with pulsing neon coloured lights, and the unmistakable thump of techno beats already set the vibe. Even at 10 AM, the room was nearly packed, with a mix of some familiar and some new faces. Right from the warm-up, the music set a high tempo. The beats were fast and continuous, matching the rhythm of the spin instructor's cues perfectly. I found m...
