ROUNDUP PRESENTED BY
FLYWHEEL SPORTS
On March 31, Flywheel Sports, the indoor cycling brand rapidly expanding across the United States and abroad, is opening its first DC studio in the Dupont neighborhood. Occupying the former Visions Cinema space at 1927 Florida Avenue, NW, this will be Flywheel’s largest locale to date, featuring over 60 custom-made, high-tech bikes. The DuPont theater-style studio will offer both Flywheel and FlyBarre, a complementary total body sculpting class. For class times and other info, visit http://www.flywheelsports.com/.
