Indoor cycling is once again cool, thanks to Absolute Cycle’s rhythm cycling classes. Because of the energy given off by experienced instructors, the upbeat music and the friendly vibes, riders always leave each class with a smile. Plus, you burn 500 to 800 calories per 45-minute session (yes, go sign up now). It will be exhausting but, we guarantee, you’ll feel great after the workout. New riders need to attend a foundation class before moving on to more advanced sessions, so do check their schedule.
Drop-in pass: A one-time class is offered at THB1,050.
