InCycle in Clay Township runs a full mind-body cycling experience — upper body strength, core conditioning, and a serious dose of inspiration built into every ride. The studio's reputation is built on instructors who bring both warmth and genuine challenge to sessions that members describe as super fun and super hard, with everything hurting in all the right places. Instructors who choose music that makes you want to stay on the bike past class time and who create an energy in the room that builds across the ride are the specific quality that keeps Indianapolis members scheduling their week around InCycle's class schedule.

For Indy members who've tried cycling and found it boring, or who've only ridden alone and want to experience what a genuinely great instructor does for the format, InCycle's Clay Township location is the version of cycling that changes that impression permanently.
