I've felt that it was only a matter of time, before one of the mainstream Big Box clubs added an official Rhythm and Movement class offering.
Last month Life Time Fitness introduced AMP Cycle - from this video it appears to be a no-holds-barred, full on party, that will engage the same participants who are drawn to the massively popular studios offering similar class formats. NOTE: I haven't experienced an AMP Cycle class yet, however I plan to ASAP.

There were three important points that I found interesting in my interview with Rob Glick (LTF's Senior Director of Group Fitness, Yoga and Cycle). First how Rob placed their three Indoor Cycling offerings along a continuum...
AMP Cycle - Far Left > An entertaining party with a purpose!
EDG Cycle - Center > A nice blend of entertainment and metrics.
PWR Cycle - Far Right > Focused training, with no fluff.
... second - Instructors aren't forced into teaching a class format they either don't like, or aren't comfortable teaching...
... and third - participants enjoy a choice of three different class types.
Listen to the complete interview with Rob Glick below and then share your comments below.
