As a gym junkie, I can state with authority that I know the fitness scene in Albuquerque, and this Spenga place is legit. Over the past decade, I've graciously bled pools of sweat in gyms all over this metro, from CrossFit barns to bootcamp-style conditioning, most recently completing about 18 months at Orangetheory, where I sustained several minor and debilitating injuries. I gave it my all, spent a pretty penny on physical therapy, and finally decided to ditch the treadmill for spin classes.But Spenga's much more than a spin scene. You do 20 minutes on a bike, 20 more on the floor (free weights, kettlebell, TRX, BOSU), and 20 minutes of yoga. Originally, I definitely had reservations, but now that I'm about two months in, I can emphatically state the following:* I burn 700-900 calories per class* The yoga is super good for me* The music's pretty good (better than OTF)* It's more affordable than OTF* The instructors are polished and personable* The facility is spacious and clean* I'm injury freeFrom a community standpoint, this place is more of a drop-in-get-it-done-and-leave kinda situation, which is great with me, but if you're more motivated by a gym full of besties, look elsewhere. I'll note they could get better at correcting form, and I would appreciate more class options, but I've never lost a penny from a late cancellation (there's no need to reserve ahead of time) and I could be wrong, but I think I'm actually seeing the results of these workouts. My wife warned me not to pen this review; she wants to keep the place to herself. Sorry, Laura, now everybody knows.

I really wanted to like this place but I wasn't even allowed to take the class. I was 10 minutes early, but they wouldn't let me in unless I got to class 15-20 minutes early. They didn't even ask if I had experience with spin because I have years of experience in spin bikes and was looking forward to a class to take advantage of after having a newborn at home. Unfortunately, I likely won't be able to come back to try this place for months to come. Had I liked my session tonight, I had planned on working out a schedule with my caregiver and partner so I could workout here a few times a week and purchasing a monthly package. I guess I won't be doing that now. I had actually signed up for here before they opened that's how excited I was for this place but then I was pregnant and put on restriction. I guess it wasn't meant to be. They probably don't care about my money anyway.

There are so many options to chosse from when you are looking to taylor your workout. It just so happens we have quite a few within a mile radius of where we live. I tried out Spenga over a year ago but the commitment was too big for what I could afford at the time. I recently joined in 2020 and have really enjoyed the challenge within and the instructors. Gaby would be my favorite! The space is always very clean and you are always welcomed the minute you walk in the door. I have enjoyed the workouts and the motivation both personally and with our Team. Spenga is a great way to get in 20 minutes of spin, strengh and yoga in an hours time. It has been a great cross trainer for me and I have really enjoyed the motivation.
