Combining cardio and resistance
During the Peak class the instructor will lead you through a series of intervals where you'll be challenged to hold a certain percentage of your FTP. For years now cyclists have been using power to improve their performance, follow the colours and on-screen indications, work on your cadence and power, track your performance to monitor your progress ride after ride. For those who love performance training, adapted challenges and entertainment, this class highlights key workout metrics to always keep you in your training zone.
