The personalized Spinning classes on offer are small, said Smith, so that instructors and students are fully engaged and able to perfect their cycling performance. The Spin instructors are all Pilates-certified, and classes are open to individuals of all levels.
"I've lost weight and I've toned up," said Tarzana resident Pam Stone, who takes the Pilates-Spinning classes at the center. "I've actually thrown away my fat jeans!"
