In this issue of RIDE HIGH:

• Ben Karoonkornsakul   Rhythm cycling is experiencing huge growth in south-east Asia, spurring The Absolute Group to expand into an at-home model and a franchised, standalone virtual concept.

• Get the wheels turning again   Even as clubs and studios re-open, it is with significant restrictions. So, how can we maximise the number of people enjoying our indoor cycling offering?

• A State of Ride   Matty Clarke – co-founder and frontman of A STATE OF RIDE – tells us about this new programme, born in the fires of COVID and now eyeing global growth in and out of club.

• Riding for brain health   A recent cycling event raised over £58,000 for new charity Head for Change, but for former rugby international Alix Popham, cycling is also key to slowing his own cognitive decline.

• Artificial intelligence. Real results.   Pitch-perfect marketing, optimised schedules, fine-tuned instructor line-ups, enhanced yield… AI can transform your GX operation, and your club, says expert Ian Mullane.

• Third Space   From signature concepts to pop-up outdoor venues to connectivity between gym floor, GX studio and the home, we get the low-down on Third Space’s cycle programme.

• The outside, inside   Waiting for the tech to catch up, so fully immersive environments can transform all of our indoor workout experiences. The founder of Immersive Gym outlines his vision.

• Jeff Veldhuizen   The future of indoor cycling is a convergence of fitness, equipment and the metaverses of the video gaming world, says the CEO of Expresso Fitness.
