Lisa Herrmann said her company’s name Rally. Rock. Ride. is based on the concept of her business at 14660 Herriman Blvd., Suite 700, Noblesville.
“We want to rally people together for motivation and inspiration, rock out to good music and ride using outdoor best practices inside,” she said.
Herrmann said she found indoor cycling seven years ago.
“I’m a big runner – long distance, marathons – but I was injured all the time,” she said. “I was hooked (on cycling) from my first class.”
Herrmann went from dedicated participant to instructor and has three certifications since she began teaching four years ago. Rally. Rock. Ride. has eight instructors with more than 50 years of experience.
“We want every ride to be a quality ride for people. We want to help improve health and fitness and performance in general,” she said.
Herrmann said cycling also is a way for athletes to keep their cardio up while rehabbing injuries or during the off-season.
“I found I became a better runner,” she said. “You can use it to help all kinds of disciplines.”
Indoor cycling is similar to outdoor riding, where riders simulate hills, flat land and roads – with the safety of no traffic or construction.
“It’s scary to be out on the roads,” Herrmann said. “We set the ride to motivational music and instructors lead you on your journey. The room has ambient light to focus your mind and body on connecting with the ride.”
Herrmann said 45- to 90-minute classes are available and space is limited to 21 people. Some are strictly cycling and others include core workouts off the stationary bicycles. Lisa said 20 classes are held each week with times in the morning, lunch hour, evening and weekends. She said participants range from teenagers to 70-year-olds.
“It’s a program that allows any age to do it and be effective,” Herrmann said. “You can have a beginner right next to an advanced rider. All classes are suited for all fitness levels.”
Rally. Rock. Ride. opened Oct. 13.
Herrmann said her business offers online reservations at www.rallyrockride.com and provides performance data after rides. For more information, call 219-0361 or e-mail [email protected].
