What Makes Precision Ride™ Different?
Precision Ride™ measures your effort so you can train against it. This performance-driven ride is based on your Prime — a self-owned, hyper-personal power metric that allows for real-time accountability. While you ride, your instructor will encourage you to find your Prime in your live wattage, or go slightly above or below it. You know exactly where you stand and where you need to go to effectively build stamina.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A cycling class is an instructor-led ride designed to simulate climbs, sprints, intervals, and endurance work on a stationary bike. Classes are typically structured around resistance changes, cadence, and carefully programmed efforts that challenge both power and cardiovascular capacity. The result is a workout that feels focused, dynamic, and — like all Equinox signature programming — science-based and results-driven. For rhythm- and music-motivated riders, Equinox offers Anthem Ride and Beats Ride. For competitive, metrics-motivated riders, Equinox offers classes like Precision Ride, Endurance Ride 60, with new formats continually in development.
Cycling is a powerful, low-impact workout that builds cardiovascular endurance, lower-body strength, and mental focus at the same time. Each ride challenges the legs, glutes, and core while training the body to sustain effort, recover efficiently, and move with greater control. In a studio setting, that experience becomes even more immersive by combining rhythm, resistance, and intensity in a way that feels both athletic and energizing. It’s a good option for anyone looking to improve stamina, support recovery, and push performance without added impact on the joints.
Yes. Equinox’s cycling classes welcome riders at every level, from first-timers to experienced cyclists. Precision Ride™ is based on your individual output, so the all-out efforts and recovery periods are aligned with your personal fitness level. The experience is entirely “you versus you.” If stats overwhelm you, start with Anthem Ride, an “all music, no metrics” ride.
Yes, cycling can help strengthen and define the lower body, particularly the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. Higher resistance and interval-based efforts increase muscular demand, helping develop endurance, power, and resilience over time. While it does not replace dedicated strength training, it can be an effective way to support lower-body conditioning and complement a broader routine built around strength, mobility, and recovery.
Cycling can support weight loss by increasing energy expenditure and improving cardiovascular fitness. It also helps build consistency by offering a challenging, low-impact format that feels accessible and motivating. Beyond calories burned, it can improve stamina, reinforce muscular endurance, and support long-term performance. For anyone building toward bigger endurance goals, whether that means longer rides or multi-day cycling training, it can become an essential part of a balanced fitness routine.
