Review of The Third Space

I have been a member for over 4 years and love it here. But the problem for me over the past months is the spin classes. The standard of classes was always high but last year they introduced something called 'joy ride' (heard of it? nope, me neither!) Basically it's dancing around on the bike. They also changed a lot the hardcore/freestyle spin to 'revs & reps'. Basically lifting tiny weights half way through the class while on the spin bike. I am not saying there shoudn't be some classes like this, but to have them overtake the spin timetable and remove some of the best classes and replace with classes that clearly are not really proper spin. Even some of their best instructors resigned from the spin timetable as they didn't want to teach those type of classes. The standard of the replacement instructors is not great either. So many people complained about the classes yet they didn't remove reps and joy ride from the timetable. The best cycle class left is the Saturday morning 10.15am taught by Dairina. Hopefully they will add back some of the hardcore spin classes for the spring timetable and tone down these gimmick classes. . I have been hughly disappointed in ThirdSpace for this reason.
