Columbus folks, it’s time to put the pedal to the metal.
The new year is upon us and New Year’s resolutions are all the rage right now.
Revolution Cycle Studio will officially open Monday at 515 18th Ave. N., right next to Fitness Factor.
Fitness Factor owner Beth Jeffers also owns the separate new business next door. Whitney Brown, a cycling instructor with Revolution, is excited about the new opening and the opportunities in store for Columbus folks looking to start the year off right.
“Our entire team of instructors is excited to bring an amazing indoor cycling experience to the Golden Triangle,” Brown said.
Revolution will offer classes for all levels, beginner to expert. Cyclers can choose from various classes including high-energy rides, high-intensity training bouts, pure power climbs, meditation rides and more.
“The classes will be an experience that combines authentic cycling principles with high energy and a fun group environment,” Brown said.

“We would like to express our appreciation for all our customers over the last 51 years for their business and also our past and present employees,” Holman said. “Thank you.”
