About Coronavirus 2020
Washingtonian is keeping you up to date on the coronavirus around DC.
Under Phase Two guidelines, DMV fitness studios and gyms are allowed to operate under social-distancing guidelines. But if you’re a cycling fan who isn’t quite ready to head back indoors for a workout, have no fear.
Several local spinning studios have now moved their bikes outdoors for socially-distant classes in the fresh air. (And, yes, if you haven’t noticed, it’s very hot, so make sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen with you to class!)
Here’s a list of local spots that are offering outdoor rides:

Good Sweat
The Arlington studio, which donates a portion of each sale to a local charity, has moved its spinning classes outdoors to its parking lot. Each bike is spaced 10 feet apart, classes will be limited to 10 people, and it’s recommended you bring your own shoes. A drop-in outdoor class is $28, and the group will continue to offer virtual classes, too.

The spinning, barre, and yoga group is now offering outdoor cycling classes at its Takoma Park location (the Silver Spring location is closed through August). Classes will be held in the parking lot and are $18 all month long with the code “Welcome Back.” The group will continue to host virtual classes, too.
