Sleigh your workout. Sparkle for a cause. Get ready to crank up the cheer and turn down the lights where sweat meets spirit. It’s time for our most festive ride of the year! The studio will sparkle with holiday lights and jingle bell cheer where the playlist is merry, the vibes are glowing, and your sweat supports a great cause. Dress in your most lit holiday gear - think ugly sweaters, tinsel, Santa hats, reindeer antlers or anything that glows - and come ready to spin, sparkle, and support. You glow. You give. You jingle all the way.
