TRIBE 101: What to Know Your First Time

 
 

So, it’s your first time at TRIBE Indoor Cycling, huh? Don’t worry – we’ve got you! This quick and easy guide will take you step-by-step through your first TRIBE Baltimore and Annapolis Spin Studio experience. You’ll learn what to do, what not to do, and what to expect at your first TRIBE class. Ready? Let’s RIDE!!!

 

First, you’ll book your bike here on our website or on our mobile app. Select your location, (TRIBE Annapolis or Baltimore), select your date and class time, then choose which spot you’d like to RIDE in the studio. At TRIBE, we move as one and ride to the beat of the music, so, as a rule of thumb, we ask those who wish to do their own thing during class or are not able to keep up with the choreography choose a bike near the back of the studio so as to not distract other riders.

 

When the time comes, you’ll head to our studio a few minutes early so we can show you the ropes and get you settled comfortably before class starts. Bring your own cycling shoes, or rent a pair of ours! (Yes, Peloton shoes will work with our bikes!)

 

We provide lockers for your use during class and water stations to fill up your water bottles. Please leave phones in the lockers during class.

 

Fill up your water bottle and head to your bike to clip in – make sure you have your desired hand weights racked on your bike. Adjust the height and position of your handle bars and saddle. Then, clip your shoes into the pedals. Don’t be afraid to ask for help – it takes some getting used to!

 

Have fun and enjoy your first RIDE! If a particular song is too easy, we suggest upping your bike resistance to make it more challenging. If you find a song too difficult or if you cannot keep up with the pace of the music, we suggest lowering your resistance. Always listen to your body! Towel off and grab water throughout class as needed.

 

Congratulations! You’ve made it through your first TRIBE cycle class! Wasn’t that fun?! Return your rented shoes to the proper bins, drop your used towels and book your next class before heading out. See you next time!
