There is only one gas – full throttle! That’s exactly the motto of a new fitness course in Klagenfurt with “special effects”.
I got out of the car and I was standing in front of a large board. It shows a black cat with a sweaty headband on its head, showing off its biceps. Where am I? Directly in front of the new “Kitty Club” in Klagenfurt, Villacher Ring 37, the trendy disco cycling room for everyone. Here, loud party music and disco lights will make you sweat a lot.Arrive and feel goodAs soon as you go down the entrance steps, you’ll be in a party mood, because the dark rooms with colorful lights provide absolute motivation even before the course begins. When I arrive at the reception, I am warmly welcomed by the two owners, Andrea Auer di Gaspero and Stella Aspernig. Who is behind it? The two athletes have known each other since their youth and after a few years of losing touch, there was a chance meeting at their children’s daycare center. It was therefore decided to work together. After staying and attending a spinning bike course in Vienna with a similar concept, the two sports enthusiasts from Klagenfurt agreed: disco cycling must also exist in Klagenfurt. This laid the foundation for the opening of the “Kitty Club”. How can you imagine a unit now? Let’s get started. After my arrival, I’ve barely moved, and it’s already starting. Stella instructs you on the correct bike settings and explains how the spinning bike works. As soon as everyone is “saddled up” the music starts. Brilliant songs from the 90s as well as current top 1 hits sound from the speakers. Stella sets the tone. She sits in the front center on a bike and leads through the 45-minute session.Full power on the spinning bikeIt’s sweaty! Riding intervals, increasing resistance, training your upper arms with dumbbells… This all happens while you’re riding. I am an athlete myself and my condition is top. Nevertheless, after the first 20 minutes there are beads of sweat on my forehead and the water is running down my back. Full speed ahead and after 45 minutes of full throttle comes the brilliant feeling afterwards. I did it, I’m exhausted but happy! After each workout, there is a cool-down to relaxed music that brings the heart rate back to normal. “Give it gas for 45 minutes and do it with great passion. We are really surprised and overjoyed at how well our disco cycling is being received in Klagenfurt!” enthuses Stella. “We even have people from Villach and Althofen coming to us just to be part of the party atmosphere on the bike,” adds Andrea. Book a unit There are a lot of things planned in the future: “We want to expand the course units. We currently have seven trainers, six ladies and one man and offer courses from Monday to Sunday. Since November, all early birds have had the opportunity to book a unit between 5:45 and 7:15 in the morning,” says Stella. And booking is easy either via the homepage kittyclub.at or via the “eversports” app. First come, first served. You just have to be quick, because the popular courses are booked up relatively quickly. Andrea: “However, there is a waiting list. As soon as a place becomes available, you will be notified.”I can guarantee one thing: the fun factor is very important, it definitely won’t be boring here! Off to cycling with a special kick!
