Reasons to Ride: Emma

Can you tell us a bit more about yourself?

Hi! My name is Emma, and I’m 25 years old. I was born in Amsterdam, and I’ve recently moved to Rotterdam! A little bit further away from Vélo but I will still happily come to Amsterdam to take spinning classes here!

What is it you love about Vélo?

What I love about Vélo is that as soon as I walk in, I feel very welcome. With some other sports classes I can feel the competition, and with Vélo that’s just not the case. You do it together! Also, I’ve taken classes from almost every instructor, and they are all so nice! They all have different styles, music choices and choreographies, and that makes it fun every single time.

What is your ideal Vélo class and why?

My ideal class is a variety of pyramids, a climb with resistance buildup, and a song with tapbacks. Also, I love it when there is a little bit of choreo in between, almost like we’re dancing on the bike!

What is your perfect time to go to class (morning or evening) and why?

I prefer to take a class in the morning. It helps me to wake up, and after I feel really productive and happy.

What is Vélo to you?

I’ve never really found a sport that I actually liked before. Since I’ve been taking spinning classes at Vélo, that changed completely! After the first ride I took there, I felt so motivated! I enjoyed it so much. Since then, I even take four classes a week sometimes. That is a lot for me haha! So yeah, It really was love at first ride for me! ;-)
