New Spin Studio In Moncton To Inspire The Drive To Succeed

SPINCO will open its doors on Mountain Road in north Moncton later this month, but the Owner says it offers more than just a spin class.

Ali Manship says, “The concept is that we create an experience in the room where you ride to the beat of the music. You are in a dark room, there is a disco ball. We do an upper body weight track as well.”

The gym has 38 bikes, showers stocked with necessities, towel service and a water station. It also offers ear plugs, hair elastics, face wipes and other things members may need. Additionally, SPINCO sells branded merchandise and S’well bottles.

Manship says it’s not just for the cycling enthusiast, and the workout can suit anyone who wants to try it, “You ride in the dark. For people who are nervous, who aren’t comfortable being in group situations when it comes to fitness. That aspect of it really helps people.”

Beyond the physical workout, Manship says the studio offers an inclusive community.

“It’s really about riding together as a team, building community and getting through challenging situations together,” she said. “If you push through a challenging track, you mentally create that sense of, ‘oh I can do this’ and then we hope that that translates outside the studio to empowering people to become stronger and more motivated and more empowered in their own lives.”

Manship said she first encountered a SPINCO studio when she lived in Halifax and fell in love with it, mostly because of the community it provided her. She’s been working to prepare for the gym’s opening in the last year and a half.

“When I made the decision to move back to Moncton, I couldn’t live without it,” she said.

It will open on October 25 at 1690 Mountain Road.
