Generation Spin Class
Brightside is a celebration of feeling good in your own skin, the positive impact of exercise on mental health, and the belonging that can only be found sweating it out with a bunch of strangers. This spin class and theatre-show explores the world of ‘Generation Me’ soundtracked by a Millennial anthem.
Join your instructor Lydia Cottrell on a journey of speed, strength, highs and lows. As we build a fleeting community with a common goal: work out, work hard and work on yourself.
“How did it end up like this...”
Together we will climb the hills of the millennial psyche, face the sprints of expectation and take on the challenge of financial crisis. Unpacking a generations drive for health, fitness, belonging and intimacy.
“And taking control...”
A celebration, an exercise in acknowledging, allowing and accepting who you are. And then owning it.
