Enter a new era of indoor biking at Friary Grange Leisure Centre with their new Watt Bikes

With the addition of the new Watt Bikes, Friary Grange Leisure Centre is able to offer customers an exhilarating indoor cycling workout. The WATT Bikes means you can race bikes without braving the elements, and there's no fiddling about putting your bike together! All you need is shorts, t-shirt and trainers and you are ready to race.

The new Watt indoor bikes are the first indoor bikes that measure the riders power output.  The bikes are suitable for riders of all ages and abilities and can be used for exercise, group cycling, bike testing, competitions and performance monitoring biking.

Phil Kelly, Manager of Friary Grange Leisure Centre, said: "Whether you are new to this class, an elite athlete or an older adult, this fun exercise class will help you reach your fitness goals. In the New Year we will be running a number of competitions using the new Watt bikes, and are planning to provide additional classes.  So come along and have a go."

The classes run:
  • Tuesdays: 7am - 7.45am
  • Wednesdays: 6pm - 6.45pm
  • Sundays: 11am - 11.45am
