Most fitness routines leave you feeling incomplete. You crush a spin class but skip strength training. You love yoga but avoid cardio. You're constantly juggling different gyms, conflicting schedules, and multiple memberships—all while wondering if you’re actually on track to achieving your fitness goals. It can feel overwhelming and frustrating, trying to piece together a well-rounded workout routine on your own.
SPENGA Marlborough offers a better way. This innovative fitness concept combines three essential components of fitness—20 minutes of spin for cardio, 20 minutes of strength training to build muscle, and 20 minutes of yoga for flexibility and recovery—all in one seamless 60-minute session. Every aspect of this workout is designed to complement the other, giving you a balanced and effective training session every time. It’s not just convenient—it’s scientifically smart, helping you target all areas of fitness in a single class. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, SPENGA is the solution to making fitness both efficient and enjoyable.
The Science Behind SPENGA's Trifecta Format
Research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences highlights how different types of exercise create unique physiological responses in our bodies (source). The study delves into how various forms of physical activity, such as cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and recovery techniques, impact cellular functions and stress responses in distinct ways. For example, cardiovascular workouts are known to boost heart health and endurance, while strength training promotes muscle growth and metabolic efficiency. Recovery practices, such as stretching or light activity, are essential for reducing inflammation and aiding muscle repair. The research emphasizes that combining these approaches can optimize cellular stress adaptations, leading to enhanced overall fitness outcomes and better long-term health.
SPENGA's format taps into this science by targeting three essential fitness components:
- Cardiovascular endurance through high-intensity spin cycling
- Muscular strength through resistance training
- Flexibility and recovery through yoga practice
This combination creates what exercise physiologists call "complementary training stress"—each element enhances the others rather than competing for your energy.
Why the 20-20-20 Split Works
The magic of SPENGA isn’t just in combining Spin, Strength, and Yoga—it’s in the precise timing and balance of these elements. Each 20-minute segment is perfectly calibrated to deliver maximum benefits for your body and mind. Here’s why each part of the workout is so effective:
Spin (20 Minutes)
The first 20 minutes are all about high-intensity cycling. This cardio-focused segment elevates your heart rate, primes your metabolism, and sets the tone for the rest of the workout. Spinning for 20 minutes is long enough to trigger important cardiovascular adaptations, such as improved endurance and increased lung capacity, but just short enough to allow you to keep up the intensity without burning out. Not only will you burn calories and break a sweat, but you’ll also build the aerobic base needed to support the strength exercises that come next. Plus, cycling is low-impact, making it kind to your joints while delivering big results.
Strength (20 Minutes)
With your heart rate up and your metabolism already elevated from Spin, your body is fully prepared to make the most of the strength session. These 20 minutes are dedicated to building lean muscle through focused, compound movements that work multiple muscle groups at once. Think squats, deadlifts, and presses that improve functional strength and overall body conditioning. The elevated blood flow and warmer muscles from the spin session create the perfect conditions for optimal strength gains, helping you tone and sculpt your body efficiently. This segment not only builds muscle but also boosts your metabolism for hours after your workout, thanks to the afterburn effect.
Yoga (20 Minutes)
The final 20 minutes of yoga bring everything full circle, allowing your body to recover while still staying active. This segment goes beyond just stretching—it’s designed to help you process the metabolic stress from the first two segments. Through mindful movement, deep breathing, and targeted poses, yoga lowers cortisol levels, improves circulation, and enhances mobility. It helps prevent the muscle tightness and soreness that often follow intense workouts, leaving you feeling refreshed and balanced. Yoga also provides a moment to center yourself, improving overall mental clarity and reducing stress, making it the perfect ending to your workout.
SPENGA's 20-20-20 format is intentionally designed to create a well-rounded workout that challenges your body in multiple ways, leaving no stone unturned. By combining cardio, strength, and flexibility, SPENGA ensures you leave each session feeling accomplished, energized, and ready to take on your day. After all, it’s not just a workout—it’s an experience that maximizes your time and results.

The results speak for themselves. Members report improvements in:

The Efficiency Factor
Let's be honest—time is your most valuable resource. SPENGA's approach eliminates the need to plan separate workouts for cardio, strength, and flexibility. One hour, three times per week, delivers what would typically require multiple gym visits and class schedules.
"SPENGA is built around efficiency and balance. It's not about crushing yourself every day, it's about doing the right mix," explains Instructor Olivia, who has been leading classes at SPENGA Marlborough for over two years.
