Will you be in or around Dallas TX on March 17th? If so, I suggest you make plans to be part of this huge class Life Time Fitness is planning with the intent of breaking their own World Record Indoor Cycling class.
From a Club Industry email:
Life Time Fitness Chanhassen, MN, will attempt to break its Guinness World Record for the largest static cycling class with a Ride of a Lifetime event on March 17 at AT&T Plaza at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The two-hour cycle studio class will be led by Life Time CEO Bahram Akradi and top Life Time cycle instructors, with music spun by Roberto Costa, an internationally renowned DJ. The current record of 1,052 riders was set on March 7, 2010, in Minneapolis.
I recorded this video of the 2010 World Record event where they had 1052 participants.
