Ride for the rush.
Recover for the reset.
That post-class glow is real. Endorphins, energy, the rush of a ride well-ridden. Now extend it — with a 10-minute red light reset designed to deepen recovery, amplify mood, and have you walking out feeling even better than when you walked in.
That post-class high.
Now imagine making it last.
You walked out of class glowing. Endorphins lit. Stats logged. Already checking the schedule for tomorrow's ride. That feeling — the one that has you coming back — is exactly what we want to amplify.
Red light therapy adds 10 minutes to your post-ride ritual that deepen everything you came for: more energy, better mood, deeper recovery, and a body that's ready to go again tomorrow.
"It's not about fixing the ride. It's about extending what the ride already gave you."
Ride hard. Reset deep.
Walk out glowing.
That CycleBar high — the rush, the mood lift, the feeling of moving with intention — is a physiological event. Red light therapy reinforces every part of it, so the benefits land deeper and last longer.
Three ways red light extends what your ride starts
Amplifies cellular energy
Cycling boosts circulation and metabolism. Red light goes further — the wavelengths trigger your mitochondria to produce more ATP, the cellular fuel that powers everything from focus to performance.
Extends the mood lift
That post-class glow is real chemistry. Red light supports the same serotonin and dopamine pathways your ride lights up — so the energy and mood boost reach further into your day.
Deepens recovery, ride after ride
Photobiomodulation supports circulation and muscle replenishment, so you walk into tomorrow's class feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to push for a new PR.
Your ride is the spark.
Red light is the reset that makes it last.
The same red glow that fills the CycleTheater
is built to make you feel even better.
Red and near-infrared light therapy — clinically known as photobiomodulation — works at the mitochondrial level to amplify everything cycling does well: more energy, better mood, deeper recovery, and a body that's ready for the next ride.
The ritual that takes your ride further.
When you stand in front of a Valo panel for 10–15 minutes, specific wavelengths — 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared — pass through skin and reach the muscle fibers, joints, and tissue that just went all-in for 45 minutes.
Your mitochondria absorb that light and convert it into a surge of ATP — the cellular fuel that powers everything from energy and mood to muscle replenishment and recovery.
The result: you walk out of the studio feeling even better than when you walked in. Energized. Lifted. Ready to do it again tomorrow.
Photobiomodulation is one of the most studied wellness modalities in sports science.
Six zones your ride works hard.
Six zones red light brings back to life.
Cycling activates specific muscle groups in beautiful, intentional ways. Red light therapy targets those same zones with 660nm and 850nm wavelengths — deepening recovery, replenishing energy, and helping your body feel as good as your ride did.
Your upper body stays engaged through every climb — head up, eyes on the leaderboard, locked in with the room. Red light helps these stabilizing muscles relax and reset so you feel light through the shoulders and neck.
Every ride engages the deep core stabilizers that connect your hips to your shoulders. Red light supports replenishment in these hard-working muscles — so you walk out tall, loose, and ready to bring it again.
Your hip flexors fire on every revolution — that's a lot of beautiful work. Red light supports mobility and circulation in this zone so your hips stay open, fluid, and ready for whatever the next class throws at them.
Out-of-saddle climbs and high-resistance sprints recruit the strongest muscles in your body. Red light supports cellular energy production here so the glutes bounce back stronger — ready to drive tomorrow's PR.
Your quads do the heaviest lift on every climb — the engines of every standing sprint. Red light used immediately post-ride is shown in research to support faster muscle replenishment so your legs feel fresh, not heavy.
The knees connect every pedal stroke to your power. Red light supports circulation and tissue health around the patellofemoral joint and IT band — keeping you fluid, mobile, and ready to ride strong for the long haul.
Protocols designed by Dr. Patrick Roosta, DAT, LAT, ATC — Valo's Clinical Director. All sessions are non-invasive, drug-free, and complement everything you already love about your post-ride routine.
