The SportPursuit team are on a mission to boost our motivation and performance through the winter training period by testing exciting new activities and classes. We’ve taken on holistic mind and body yoga, a circuits class mixed with indoor climbing, and a workout on skis. For the next challenge we teamed up with fitness pioneers Odlo to see how their kit could help us hit the next level in a challenging spinning session at the high-tech Digme studio in Rathbone Square.

The welcoming Digme staff, stylish changing areas and luxury toiletries might put you in mind of a high-end hotel or spa. Don’t be fooled – what follows is an intense workout pushing your cardio fitness to its limit and gets your legs burning with the effort. Though tough, the euphoric atmosphere and relentless energy of Digme’s coaches carries you through to the end.

Jumping into a class straight from work is a refreshing way to clear your head and get a good workout, and you don’t need any specialist kit. We found that a good, light baselayer like the Odlo Blackcomb (available in mens and womens styles) ideal: lightweight, fast-drying and with great range of movement for energetic sprinting out of the saddle. Watch the video to see the session in action:

 

With  every sport or activity it pays to have the right kit to maximise your performance, and testing the Odlo kit in a dynamic, intensive scenario we could really feel the difference. Check out the kit we were wearing and other top picks from the Odlo range on SportPursuit:
