Thanks to our title sponsor, Virgin Active, we are expanding our Train Joburg offering in 2024 with the addition of in-club BURN Cycle Classes, happening alongside our Outrides.
Riders of all fitness levels are welcome to sign up for these in-club BURN Cycling Classes, which will take place at the participating Virgin Active Clubs, led by experienced cycling coaches. The duration of the classes is 1 hour, and is perfect for those looking to maximize intensity in a short period of time, or for those not yet ready to head out onto the road.
Please ensure you have pre booked your class, via the REGISTER (Howler) link, as capacity is limited.
Non-Virgin Active members will receive a voucher via Whatsapp, entitling them to access and use the gym’s facilities for the day.
Arrive at least 30 minutes before the class commences, to sign in, set up your bike and link your device to the indoor trainer (you know what they say, if it’s not on Strava…).Please pack a sweat towel, mountain bike cleats, and a water bottle.
Parking Instructions: Parking is available outside the associated Virgin Active clubs.
Whether you’re a total newbie or a more experienced rider, our title sponsor Virgin Active has put together a Training Plan for you. These plans have been developed in collaboration with Dr Adrian Rotunno and Ignus Oosthuizen.
