Echelon to offer free cycling classes

Echelon, which launched its indoor cycling and innovative fitness technology last fall, is offering free classes at its cycling studio in Chattanooga on weekdays, every week, to give back to the community, company founder Lou Lentine said Monday.

Lentine said anyone in Chattanooga who wants to participate can attend a cycling session or Flex Studio class including barre, Pilates, strength training, yoga, meditation and flexibility. Usually, a drop-in class is $20, but for Chattanoogans and visitors to the Scenic City who stop by during the week between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., the class is 100 percent free. Guests do not need a membership to attend a class within those times.

“We wanted to contribute to the Chattanooga community and be an influential factor in making our city healthy and fit. Our studio has been getting so much attention by visitors and residents that we wanted to offer daily free classes so that everyone has the chance to experience fitness in a supporting group environment,” Lentine said.

Guests who visit the Echelon cycling studio will join a community of more than 100,000 riders around the world, racing towards the finish line. Classes are filmed live at the studio in Chattanooga and broadcast across the world to Echelon riders and the fitness community.
