He launched Whim Gym\u2019s Virtual Cycling classes in 2015 and they\u2019ve been a hit ever since with Blu-ray videos on 5m by 3.5m screens.<\/p>\n<p>  Each session takes about 60-70 minutes and can drag on for up to two hours for events. Cyclists don\u2019t necessarily have to be registered at the gym to attend. Each session costs $5 and they also have a package offer of 5 tickets.<\/p>\n<p>  Whim Gym hosts virtual cycling classes every Monday at 7:00 PM where bikers get to virtually pedal through the British Virgin Islands, Italy, Colorado, Spain, other places in the United States, and Austria. The gym also offers Salsa, TRX, MMA, and more.<\/p>\n<p>  For more info, contact them on 03887873 or check out their Facebook page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WhimGym\/\" target=\"_new\"
