Spin Class Finally Gets a Makeover and Is Looking to Expand

Cyc Founder and CEO, Stephen Nitkin tells TheStreet’s Jill Malandrino the Cyc Method is turning the traditional Spin method on its ear by intersecting cardio and strength training, bringing in weights and using them for more than half the class. A lot of the moves are based on sports like basketball and volleyball which keeps it fun and challenging. In addition to revolutionizing the traditional method, Nitkin explains Cyc keeps the cost down for consumers, which tends to run high in the boutique fitness industry, by opening up inside of gyms like David Barton NYC. This method keeps the facility cost down for Cyc and opens up opportunity for expansion. Nitkin says new Cyc locations are in the works for 2015 in the Atlanta, Boston, LA, Philadelphia and Las Vegas markets.
