POWER-To-You
What is POWER-To-You?
POWER travels. Spinning bikes, bananas, and headphones, DELIVERED.
Excited to explore any and every location, imaginable. And if that sounds like a CHALLENGE, it probably is.
The FREEDOM to take spinning bikes to unique places of natural beauty deepens human CONNECTION to the natural world, transforming our WELLBEING.
Alternatively, we can simply set up at a grey, ultimately corporate business park and TRANSFORM lives there, one pedal stroke at a time, and one banana at a time.
Plus, individual rider headphones mean that whilst you are working on your mind and body fitness goals, we won’t interrupt nature or non-riders, in the surrounding space.

When Can I Ride POWER-To-You?
We know CONVENIENCE is KING.
You can request a 30 or 45 minute ride at any suitable location (within a 30 mile radius of Chichester, UK) between the hours of 06:00hrs to 18:00hrs, Monday to Friday. If there's availability, let’s ride.
Typically, before work, after the school run, in the middle of the day and after work - why sit in traffic, when you can skip the rush hour and ride?
More creatively, there’s nothing like riding under a full moon, or watching the sun rise over the water whilst you pedal.

Why Ride POWER?
Why Ride POWER?
A question best answered by POWER riders - see 'Reviews' tab.
POWER is the decision to put down your phone for between 30 and 45 minutes, let go of the daily hustle and MOVE.
More than simply a calorie-torching, endorphin-releasing, high-energy escape from the day-to-day stresses in life, POWER is a highly-immersive, interval-based group MOVEMENT experience.
Each rider listens to a specially-curated playlist and real-time motivational instruction through individual headphones. Headphones allow you to fully and authentically connect to the ride without the distraction of any background noise. Headphones take being ‘in the zone’ to a whole new level.
POWER is the right choice for you, your workplace, your sepcial occasion, your festival because… CONNECTION.
“Just like bees need a hive, humans need a tribe.” – Johann Hari
In an increasingly disconnected world, POWER exists to spark and nurture connection, as part of an endorphin-boosting, sweat-inducing workout. The ride connects the tribe.
The collective energy, accountability and determination you feel when you ride with POWER is what will INSPIRE you on your journey to be the happiest, healthiest, BEST version of you. Plus, eye-to-eye connection, motivational and spiritual guidance, in real-time, is powerful.
POWER achieves increased cardiovascular, muscular and mental strength with every pedal stroke, delivering mind and body fitness results that last well beyond the ride time.
All equipment is deep-cleaned after every ride, using anti-bacterial and anti-viral cleaning agents. Sweaty hotspots - handlebars, saddles and headphones - receive a bonus scrub before every ride, to make sure we are sparkling-clean and good-to-go.
