Cyclists aiming to stay fit during winter or those looking for a change of pace in their workout should check out the new spin classes at the Waynesville Recreation Center.

Spin classes make exercise on a stationary bike more exciting, as the instructor talks participants through a virtual bike ride complete with hill climbing fast stretches and cruising. Videos depicting scenery from real bike rides will compliment the class.

The class will meet each Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Free for members, or $23 a month. 828.456.2030 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
