Cycling legend Shane Sutton introduces new cycling concept to London

2014-04-07 37

Following huge success in Singapore and Sydney, Athlete Lab, a revolutionary indoor cycling studio, has chosen London as its first European location.

Athlete Lab is the only indoor cycling centre to offer training on REAL bikes rather than spin bikes - the best way to mimic cycling on the open road. With the same technology used to train Olympic athletes and a wealth of expertise on tap, including Team Sky legend Shane Sutton, UK indoor cycling training has stepped up a gear.

Until now indoor cycling training has been limited to spin bikes, which although a great cardio workout, doesn’t utilise the right muscle groups for road cycling - meaning ineffective training. By using real bikes, with everything you would expect from a road bike – the same gears, pedals, cranks and handlebars - an Athlete Lab workout provides a safe indoor training environment which works the body in exactly the same way as if out on the open road.

Plus, with no freewheeling, no traffic and no bad weather to contend with, one hour in Athlete Lab equates to two hours on the road giving cyclists a much more efficient workout – ideal for cyclists and triathletes who want to get their mid-week rides done in a lunch break or immediately after work.

Such is the impressive and unique offering of Athlete Lab, that Shane Sutton – the man responsible for Tour de France glory with Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome – is now a partner in the business and his training DNA is spread through the whole offering with the Shane Sutton Method.
