Wheelhouse Indoor Cycling Studio, Andover
Philosophy: For most, fitness is not a matter of can or can’t. Everyone is fully capable of doing it; however, most people don’t trust themselves enough to try. At Wheelhouse, the goal is to find a way to connect with riders in order to encourage them to get outside their comfort zone, find confidence, get over hurdles, and take the strength they find in the bike room outside to the world around them.
What’s New: Two different rides that cater to cardio junkies, as well as those who crave a little more.
Standout Quality: A strong emphasis on getting to know riders on a personal level, making them feel comfortable, and finding ways to push them past where they thought they could go.
