Indoor cycling has become a favorite workout for many fitness enthusiasts. It is convenient, safe, and provides a challenging cardio workout that can help you achieve your fitness goals.
With the rise of technology, you can now join virtual classes, participate in live streaming sessions, and track your progress with the help of fitness apps. Even if you go to Soul Cycle, it’s always nice to have a handy spinning app to use in case you can’t go to the gym.
Below are the six best spinning apps you can try:
The Sufferfest
The Sufferfest offers an extensive library of indoor cycling and yoga-for-cyclist workouts on iOS, Mac, and Windows. With over 50 workouts to choose from, you are sure to find one that works for your fitness level and routine. This app uses footage from real cycling races to make you feel like you are in a professional race.
The app allows you to track your data using connectivity options for heart-rate monitors, smart trainers, and power meters. This feature helps you monitor your progress and adjust your workouts accordingly. The app offers a free seven-day trial and only costs £10 per month.
Flywheel Sports
Flywheel Sports is unique in that it offers in-class cycling training or at-home classes via your smartphone. Whether you want to attend a gym or workout at home, Flywheel has you covered. The app offers training programs for people at all stages of their fitness journeys.
This app is free to download, and subscription prices vary by plan. You can pay monthly, giving you plenty of time to decide if it’s the right app for you.
Zwift – The at Home Cycling, Running Virtual Training & Workout Game App
Zwift offers an immersive indoor cycling experience that simulates outdoor riding. This app offers a social aspect and monitors your data and progress to compare you with other cyclists. You can access virtual cycling tours and courses through the app, with computer-generated graphics.
Exercise Bike Workout
Exercise Bike Workout is an easy-to-use spinning app that helps you simplify your workout while still getting a good sweat on. This app specializes in HIIT workouts, making it perfect for those looking to burn calories. With voice, sound or vibration prompts, you will be encouraged to keep working hard no matter how motivated you are to start.
Exercise Bike Workout is free to download and has additional in-app purchases to take your workout to the next level.
Peloton – Workouts Streamed Live & OnDemand
Peloton is a high-end app that offers personalized coaching and instructions. You will get a live stream of daily workouts for you to watch and hopefully join with. You can compare your performances to other users who are in the same live workout as you.
Of course you’d have to buy an expensive Peloton bike to be able to use this app. After the initial cost of about $2000 you’ll pay around $39.99 per month for membership.
For those who do not want to pay such a heavy start-up cost, you can select a different plan that does not include all the personalization included with the original Peloton bike purchase.
