Devo Pre-Season Spin Class

The Devo pre-season spin class was a success in its 3rd year. For 2012, taking place at Core Value Fitness, the class covered numerous topics from cycling history to spin technique. Music was amazing every time with the highlight being Justin Beaver's new hit song, "pick me." Class will resume in February of 2013.
