Music spinning is a complete discipline that combines endurance, power and muscular engagement. At Sound Cycle, two distinct approaches allow you to explore different ways of training indoors:
GROOVE A workout synchronized to the music, which engages the whole body and develops endurance and muscle tone.
POWER a strength- and distance-based approach, with precise monitoring live via watts, RPM and performance display.
Whether the objective is improving fitness, optimizing performance or simply enjoying a rhythmic workoutEach format offers an immersive and intense musical spinning experience.
GROOVE: a rhythmic and complete workout
What is a GROOVE spinning class?
The Groove Ride is a workout where every movement is synchronized with the music. Effort is guided by rhythm and overall muscular commitment, providing a immersive and intense experience. The aim here is to let off steam without the pressure of performance figures. Motivation comes from feeling, rhythm and collective energyrather than technical indicators such as watts or cadence displayed in real time.
The 4 main features of GROOVE Ride
- Intense cardiovascular workfor endurance and calorie burning.
- A complete muscular workoutintegrating upper body work with dumbbells to strengthen shoulders, arms and abdominal muscles.
- Modular intensityThis is made possible by manual resistance adjustment and occasional use of the shifter, according to the coaches.
- Performance monitoring with Spivienabling effort evaluation at the end of each session.
Why choose GROOVE?
- Develop endurance and coordination while working on muscle tone with dumbbells.
- Improve rhythm and breath control without focusing on numerical indicators during the session.
- Benefit from an engaging and motivating approachwhere the effort is made naturally as the session progresses, while evaluating his performance with Spivi at the end of the course.
POWER: structured, measurable training
What is a POWER spinning class?

The 4 main features of the POWER Ride
- Precise performance monitoringThis makes it possible to optimize each session and measure progress.
- Focus on strength and endurancewith resistance adjustments and cadence variations visible in real time on the display.

Is GROOVE easier than POWER?
Contrary to popular belief, GROOVE and POWER are two demanding workoutseach with its own characteristics.
In Grooveintensity is based on music and total muscular engagement. Even if the shifter is not used systematicallySome coaches include it occasionally to accentuate the effort.
This does not mean less commitment, but a different approachwhere intensity is guided by feel and rhythmrather than real-time indicators. Performance remains visible at the end of the session thanks to Spivi.
In Powerthe drive is structured and quantifiedwith precise work on power and endurancebased on indicators displayed live on the bike's screen.
The intensity felt depends on above all personal investment in the session. A Groove session with strong resistance and total upper-body involvement can be just as intense as a POWER Ride focused on power and performance.
