text: If Derek Zoolander was a Spin Class, this would be it.  \n\nI went for a class this morning, having taken many spin classes at the Y, but found myself very out of place.  I was not expecting to be strapped to my bike via my shoes (which resulted in disastrous hilarity later), and after one of the folks working there adjusted my bike for me, I realized quickly that it was incorrect.  While I tried to fix it myself, I couldn't get myself off the bike and nearly toppled over trying to do it while still hopelessly locked in.  \n\nThen the lights went down (again, not what I was expecting) and the music blasted and an instructor who looked like his name should be Chad started the class, dramatically lit...fitting with the whole Zoolander vibe.  I did my best to keep up but I was barely touching my handlebar with my fingertips so I wasn't able to do a whole lot more than balance myself and not fall down.  I'm not deducting for the quality of my ride because I know that was completely due to the improperly adjusted bike.\n\nI did enjoy the incorporation of arm workouts in the class, giving a whole-body workout element to what typically is legs and cardio.  I did however find the plasma monitors ranking the participants to be a bit pretentious.\n\nIf you are looking for a fancy pants workout to feel super trendy, then this place if for you.  If you want a solid spin class that won't make you feel like you should have popped some molly before entering the room, save some money and stick with the Y or other alternatives.
