New workouts are uploaded to The Ride every Monday. You can always try something new or stick with your favorites!

We offer several exciting class styles including Ride Rush, Ride Rhythm and Ride Race. The classes are 30 and 45 minutes long, of varying intensities and taught in a number of different languages. You can filter by need for easy ride selection. Shorter classes and more class types are on the horizon!

• Ride Rush is our HIIT-inspired workout. Rush is one of our more challenging classes and is geared toward anyone who is looking for a shorter, more challenging and inspiring class. Rush formats include high intensity interval training (HIIT) focusing on short intensity sets followed by recovery sets. Experience the well-documented post-workout benefits of interval training as well as the rush of an empowering and energizing class. Get more done in less time with the Ride Rush.

• Ride Rhythm is our beat-based workout. This signature ride format is perfect for the rider who loves to connect with the music and the energy generated from a great workout. In these classes, motivation takes the lead as you lift, move and groove to the beat of the drum and the pace of the ride. Get lost in this rhythm and be inspired to do more than you thought possible in the Ride Rhythm. The class is perfect for all levels of cyclists.

• Ride Race is our power-focused workout. This signature ride improves power and strength with a focus on training in your correct intensity zones. If you’re ready to take it to the next level, this class is ideal for the indoor and outdoor cycling enthusiast who wants to work to achieve more than they thought possible. Race longer, climb higher and get stronger in our be-powerful Ride Race workout.

Like any exercise program, it is always important to workout at an intensity that is right for you! Our instructors will provide you with suggestions for intensity or pedaling speed, but ultimately you should always listen to your body. There is no right or wrong way, but rather, what is right for you at that moment. You will notice on your screen a 5-zone color system. Each zone color corresponds with intensity – including a combination of power based on FTP (Functional Threshold Power), heart rate based on HRMax (Heart Rate Maximum) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE).

Zone 1 is displayed as grey. It should feel very easy.

<55% FTP. / 50-60% HRMax

Zone 2 is blue and is our light intensity zone.

56% - 75% FTP /. 60-70% HRMax

Zone 3 is green and is our moderate intensity zone. At this zone, you begin to feel some intensity.

76% - 90% FTP. / 70% - 80% HRmax

Zone 4 is the orange zone, and it will feel hard. You might be a bit breathy and feeling the intensity more in your legs as it becomes much more challenging.

90% - 105% FTP. / 80% - 90% HRmax

Zone 5, the red Zone, is the highest and most challenging zone! We don’t spend a lot of time in this zone as the intervals tend to be shorter.

106% - 150% FTP. / 90% - 100% HRMax

Regardless of the zones displayed, always work at an intensity that is best for you!

Yes, our goal is that riders can eventually workout to all our classes, just by modifying their own intensity response. However, some classes are definitely harder than others. If you are just getting started, we suggest you try classes that are categorized as “Intensity: All Levels”. This is a great starting point! The other two intensity levels are Hard and Challenging. Every instructor teaches slightly differently though. That’s what makes each of them unique. Be sure to find your favorites.

At The Ride, we are proud to be able to connect with an international audience. A majority of our classes are taught in English, but we also have workouts in Spanish, Dutch, German, French, with more languages coming. A great feature of The Ride is that the workout profile is shown on the screen, so you can easily follow along. You can gauge how long the next work section is and view the recommended intensity by the color line. Also, music is a great motivator in any language. We would love for you to try all the classes.

The catalog picture shows the instructor, the class type, how long the workout is, the intensity and a profile graph of the workout. The graph provides an overview of the entire workout. It shows the different color zones that you will be riding in.

Yes, on the web platform we have a "Resume Where You Left Off" function that will show the workouts that you are currently following. Please note that this function is not yet available on the app.

We have two different countdown timers on the screen. The timer on the left lets you know how much time is left in the entire workout. It counts down from the start of the workout until the end. The timer on the right side of the screen lets you know how long the particular set is. For example, counting down from 30 seconds before the next change happens. You will notice that there is also a zone color line underneath the timer. This helps remind you of the recommended intensity to ride at for the set amount of time displayed.

Basically, yes!

You're looking for SH-51, 52, 55 or 56 clips, the shoe brand or style is up to you!
