With fitness restrictions non-existent and life finally returning to the way it used to be, a lot of us might be thinking of joining a gym, or, more aptly, a spin centre. It can be hard to pin down just one particular spin centre—after all, aren’t they all doing the same thing? Whether you’re an advanced cyclist looking for a new spin on an old exercise, or a newbie looking to break your way into the world of spin, here’s a list of the eight best spinning gyms in the Klang Valley.
Flyproject

It wouldn’t feel right to start off a list of spin studios without mentioning the pioneer gym—marketing itself as ‘Kuala Lumpur’s biggest boutique fitness centre’, Flyproject’s indoor spin programme was one of the first of its kind in KL. When it first launched in 2016—then known as Flycycle—it took the Malaysian fitness scene by storm. Never before had we seen a spin studio that looked like a speakeasy, with choreographed routines taking place against the backdrop of strobe lighting and loud music. Safe to say, it kickstarted the revival of the spin scene in KL. Since then, Flyproject has branched out to include other fitness programmes like boxing and yoga, but its spin classes have maintained consistently high reviews, too. If you’re looking for a gateway spin gym, Flyproject is a great place to start.
Address: Publika, DC Mall, Mahsa Avenue, Intermark Mall, KLGCC, Kiara 163, The Curve and Kapas Heights Bangsar

Club Aloha

Spinning can be an inherently solitary exercise, but Club Aloha’s mission is to defeat that stereotype by providing a safe, warm and accepting space for not just personal fitness development, but also self-acceptance and confidence. Much like the meaning of the Hawaiian word ‘Aloha’, this spin centre values respect, compassion and positivity above all else—if you are someone wary about joining the fitness scene, look no further, because Club Aloha’s greatest goal is to improve your ‘Way of Life’, which will hopefully culminate in an overall greater ‘Love for Life’. All in all, Club Aloha’s bright, inclusive spin community is a great space for the most amateur to the most advanced rider. After all, they’re all about growth and self-discovery.

With so many spin centres in KL offering similar programmes, it can be hard to choose where to go. If you’re getting tired of the stuffiness of indoor gyms, look no further: Oxygen Cycle offers a unique outdoor rooftop spin programme taking place against the ambient backdrop of the city’s skyline. Having opened in the pandemic, former Flyproject instructor Aiman Asmawar’s project aims to ensure safety whilst promoting healthy living in our ‘new normal’. With its tagline being ‘SelfCareSelfLove’, Oxygen Cycle’s small, focused classes of no more than 10 people at a time ensure social distancing whilst retaining that community feel—perfect for anyone looking to get into fitness in our post-pandemic world.

The newest addition to the spin scene, Euphoria is a concept-based spin centre run by a group of KL’s veteran spin instructors. Fret not, though—their programmes are geared towards a range of different endurance and experience levels. Fashioned more like a bar than a spin-gym—it even offers swanky pre-workout ‘shots’!—Euphoria’s mission is to create a space where ‘every rhythmic revolution leads to ecstasy’. It’s clear to see that Euphoria is capitalising on the exhilarating, emotional experience that spin facilitates. For any adrenaline junkies out there, this might be the gym for you.
