Going in Circles Can Get You Somewhere!
Why Spin Class Might Be the Best Workout You’re Not Taking
Living on the Big Island, it’s easy to be inspired by cycling—especially during IRONMAN World Championship week. If you’ve ever stood outside The Club Kona, you’ve watched hundreds of incredible athletes grind their way up Kuakini Highway, climbing the hill right in front of our club. It’s hard not to think, “Maybe I should get on a bike!”
For the most part, Hawaiʻi offers the perfect environment for outdoor cycling. Beautiful ocean views, warm weather, and endless roads make every ride an adventure. But anyone who has ridden toward Waikoloa knows that Mother Nature has a mind of her own. Between strong crosswinds, heavy traffic, and distracted drivers, outdoor riding isn’t always as relaxing—or as safe—as we’d like.
So, what if you could experience the same cardiovascular training as elite cyclists in a cooler, safer, and more controlled environment?
Welcome to Les Mills Indoor Cycling at The Club.
More Than Just a Spin Class
Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned cyclist, if you’re looking for a Kona spin class, our indoor cycling programs are designed to challenge riders of all fitness levels.
LES MILLS RPM™
RPM™ is an endurance-based cycling workout where you ride through hills, flats, intervals, and sprints—all set to motivating music. You control your own resistance, making it perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. The instructor guides the journey, but you decide how hard you work.
Best for:
- Improving cardiovascular fitness
- Burning calories
- Building endurance
- Low-impact training
LES MILLS SPRINT™
Short on time? SPRINT™ is your answer.
This 30-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) cycling class alternates between explosive bursts of effort and short recovery periods. It’s scientifically designed to maximize calorie burn while improving speed, power, and fitness in less time.
Best for:
- Busy schedules
- Increasing athletic performance
- Boosting metabolism
- Building strength and power
LES MILLS THE TRIP™
Ready for something completely different? Experience LES MILLS THE TRIP™.
Imagine riding through futuristic cities, soaring over mountains, racing through underwater worlds, and chasing light through immersive digital landscapes, all while getting an incredible workout.
That’s THE TRIP™.
Using a giant cinema-style screen and synchronized music, THE TRIP™ transforms a cycling workout into an unforgettable immersive experience. It’s unlike anything else available on the Big Island and is exclusive to The Club.
It’s cardio…but it feels like an adventure.
Live or On Your Schedule
Can’t make a scheduled class?
No problem.
At Club Kona and Club Kealakekua, you can choose between energetic live instructors or Les Mills Virtual classes. Virtual classes are professionally coached and available throughout the day, giving you the flexibility to ride whenever it fits your schedule—not ours.
Fitness should work around your life.
Cardio You’ll Actually Enjoy
Let’s be honest—cardio isn’t everyone’s favorite.
But indoor cycling is different.
You’re completely in control of your workout. Adjust the resistance, choose your pace, and challenge yourself as much (or as little) as you want. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for an event, or simply looking to improve your overall health, cycling provides an incredible workout without the impact of running.
It’s one of the easiest ways to elevate your heart rate while being kind to your knees, hips, and ankles.
The Benefits Go Beyond the Bike
Indoor cycling helps you:
- Improve heart health
- Increase stamina and endurance
- Burn calories efficiently
- Build stronger legs and core
- Reduce stress
- Boost energy
- Improve mood through endorphin release
And because it’s low impact, it’s a fantastic option for nearly every age and fitness level.
