Love to cycle? Don’t let the UAE summer stop you…

Even the most committed road cyclist has to concede defeat during the UAE summer, but you don’t have to let the wheels fall off your training routine…

Here are 6 indoor cycling classes to try in Dubai.

1. JLT: Power Cycle

A fresh face on the Dubai fitness scene, Brazilian-born Power Cycle uses the latest technology to chart your watts and power usage throughout each class, so you can track your progress. The feelgood soundtrack spans ‘80s and ‘90s classics and popular remixes designed to get you out of the saddle.
