Introducing the BCycle 6 Week Training Program

By

The BCycle Training Program is a spin class for all fitness levels and is designed to accelerate your cycling ability and help you achieve your goals; whether it’s to improve on a Gran Fondo, tackle a charity ride, ride with more experience or simply increase your personal fitness level and cycle knowledge.

In this 6 week registered program, each class will include a warm-up, the workout and a cool down.  The workout portion is executed in intervals that follow a progressive format and periodized structure.  The intervals are designed to help develop stronger cycling in specific zones as well as to help improve technique.  Robin doesn’t ride for this class, her job is solely to be on the floor coaching you each and every step of the way!

The 6 week program runs on Wednesdays at 5:00PM from September 11, 2019 – October 16, 2019 with the fabulous Robin Wallouch.

The breakdown of each class is as follows:

Session 1 (September 11): This workout is designed to find your FTP (Functional Threshold Power) which is commonly defined as the highest average power you can sustain for one hour, measured in watts.  FTP will be used to determine your training zones for all of our sessions going forward and will allow you to measure your improvements over the course of 6 weeks. Our first class will be a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as you bases for what you will do in the 20 minute all out effort.  

Session 2 (September 18):  This session will focus on hard short efforts followed by settling back into a constant effort.  

Session 3 (September 25): Will focus on anaerobic bursts, followed by sweet spot training.  Sweet spot refers to an intensity of training that is hard enough to elicit substantial physiological benefits, but not so hard that as to be unsustainable.  It’s 85-95% of your average threshold power.  

Session 4 (October 2): Will focus on steady building from 75% -115% of your FTP.  

Session 5 (October 9): Will focus on 30 second efforts with short recoveries to boost your VO2 power (just love your FTP)

Session 6 (October 16) :  The super peaks pyramid will focus on short intensity in the anaerobic capacity zone.  This will most likely be the toughest of the 6 sessions.  

The program cost is $180 per person and there are limited spots available so register as soon as you can to ensure your place in this exciting program.

 

If you have any questions, or if you’d like more information please don’t hesitate to ask!

Why You Need Spin Class AND a Personal Trainer

By

“If you always do what you‘ve always done, you‘ll always get what you‘ve always got.” ― Henry Ford. 

It’s really quite simple; if you are trying to change your weight, shape, agility, strength, or body fat %,  and what you’re currently doing isn’t working (even if it worked before), you need to make changes, and we’re guessing if you knew what those changes were you would already be doing them…so it is time for you to try working with one of our amazing personal trainers and learn what you need to know to reach your goals, prevent injury and stay motivated and accountable.

 

Did you know that a personal trainer is a great addition to your group fitness classes too? You bet they are! The spin classes at B are an amazing workout, but you don’t need someone holding your hand while your sweat out all your sins on the bike, do that in dark, with like minded members and THEN let us hold your hand as we address form, injury prevention, diet and goals privately while we work on the strength you need.

 

A personal trainer is so important for so many reasons, but here are the top 10 signs you’re ready for a personal trainer and it’s time you tried private personal training sessions:

 

  1. You’re ready to see results
  2. You don’t even know where to start
  3. You are bored with your “workouts”
  4. You are ready to be challenged to become a better version of yourself
  5. You’re ready for the knowledge you need to workout on your own when you want
  6. You need to be motivated, and held accountable
  7. You’re working through an injury to rehab
  8. You have a specific event, tournament, or sport final coming up
  9. You want hands on guidance to make sure you’re doing what is right for YOUR body – those Instagram ‘how to’ videos just aren’t cutting it.
  10. You don’t do well in groups at the gym. Privacy please.

 

If you can relate to any of these signs, then it’s time you came into B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio (maybe even hop in on that killer spin class you’ve been scared to try) and talked with one of our personal trainers about getting started – and take advantage of a discounted rate of $70/session when you purchase ten sessions.

 

Create Balance This Summer – Spin + Strength + Patio Time

By

 We are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world – Kelowna! We are spoiled with all of the best wineries, lakes and trails just in our backyard, but it can often be difficult to fit everything in, AND stay committed to your health and fitness routine, right? We understand. That’s why our spin classes, strength classes and bootcamps are just 45 minutes long; you’re in and out within the hour, giving you more time to live your best life in the beautiful Okanagan.

So what’s the easiest way to create that perfect balance? We recommend using the following tips to help you plan your days:

 

  1. Keep a Routine: It’s easy to get out of your routine in the summer months! With company in town, more events and activities than you’re used to means your “normal” suffers. But, if you want that spin class on your schedule – book it in! Even if you only come twice a week, book yourself in and work your day around it. If you attend the 9:15AM spin class every Tuesday and Thursday it becomes less daunting than trying to fit it in between all of your other plans.
  2. Consistency is Key. While it’s fun to take time off, the summer often makes us guilty of overindulging, which means we need to keep up with our fitness more than ever. Have fun, but try and keep your exercise routine somewhat consistent amongst your chaotic summer plans.
  3. Make it a Group Activity. The only thing better than sweating out all of your summer sins in a killer spin class or bootcamp, is to bring a friend in with you! Misery loves company, right? All jokes aside, we find a lot of out of town visitors really do appreciate a fun and healthy morning activity once in a while! Your mimosa will still be waiting for you when you’re done.
  4. Workout Smarter. You know the “basic gym workout” where if you’re like most people, your efficiency is mediocre, at best, and your intensity is anything but stellar. But you are THERE, working out so it counts for something. And you’re not wrong, it is certainly better than nothing, but we encourage you to try and workout smarter this summer. Join us for a 45 minute spin class, bootcamp or strength training class and maximize your time. Looking for a little bit more? You could also try out one of our combo classes; that is a 30 minutes spin class followed by 30 minutes of strength training. One power hour workout.

Once you’re done your workout at B, you’re also just a few steps away from the Eldorado and Smack Dab… your patio time awaits!We hope you all have an absolutely amazing Kelowna summer and we hope to see you in class soon!

There are so many fun activities to get involved in; wakeboarding, boating, hiking, golfing to name a few, and not to mention all of wine tours and day excursions you’ll be taking your visitors on!

FIT FIFTEEN – 30 Day Spin + Strength Challenge

By

15 spin classes. 15 strength classes. 30 days.

This is our no BS take on a 30 day challenge. Why 15 of each? We love spin (obviously) but it is simply not ALL you need to stay in shape; this is especially true if you have weight loss or toning in mind. The FIT FIFTEEN is designed to push you out of your comfort zone, to allow your body to transform, your mind to reset and your life to take a turn for the better.

With these 30 classes in one month (May 1 – June 1) you will be ready for summer. And we mean READY! Whether that’s going for those long beautiful hikes, partaking in a European road ride, spending your time doing water sports on the lake, or just rosé all day-ing on the patio. Your body will be where you want it to be, and we can’t wait to help get you there!

Interested?
Here’s what’s involved:
• 15 spin classes (any style class counts!)
• 15 strength classes (includes: straight strength, bootcamp, arms & abs, booty blast and personal training)
• 1 free personal training session (to use towards a strength class OR for days when you just can’t get our schedule to work for you.)

Kelowna’s Most Affordable Spin + Strength Workout Plan

By

We know, we know, when you come into a boutique fitness studio the last thing that comes to mind is, “oh wow, this is going to be so affordable.” However, what we DO want you to think is, “I need to be a part of this community.” Whether this is your first go at working out, or you’re training for a triathlon, or just want to rock those summer outfits, at B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio our job is to make you happy! We want you to feel comfortable, physically, mentally and even financially. While we would love to offer everyone free spin classes, that’s obviously not something we can offer (sorry!) however, we do have such a large variety of different class packs and options, that attending spin, strength, and bootcamps is something that can fit into most budgets, if you’re willing to commit to your health and fitness.
Let’s look at it this way…. Our B Pass Unlimited is $130/month. That includes full unlimited access to:
• Spin classes
• Strength Classes
• Bootcamps
• Arms & Abs
• Booty Blast
The variety of classes, means you don’t really need to pay for memberships at various places. Why pay for a gym membership if you’re going to go walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes when you can get a full small group training guided session?!
Let’s break down the cost per class
3 Workouts Per Week = $10.80/class
4 Workouts Per Week = $8.13/class
5 Workouts Per Week = $6.50/class

We know you hate hearing, “That’s the price of your latte!” but really, it is. And while we love coffee, looking in the mirror and loving your results is even better than that sweet brew, or that one dinner out a week, with that extra glass of wine… There will always be excuses and reasons to skip your workout, but at the end of the day, they are just that – excuses. Hold yourself accountable, commit to your health, and give yourself the fun, professional and structured training you deserve.

A Strength Training Program Designed For Seniors In Kelowna

A Strength Training Program Designed For Seniors In Kelowna
At B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio we work with people of all ages and fitness levels to help improve their health and their lives through an exercise program that works for them. While many of our classes are a High Intensity Interval Training style, we will be launching a “Silver Strength” training program in the summer for those 60+ that want to keep active, improve their stability, balance, flexibility, muscle tone and bone density at a pace and style that better suits them than large fitness classes designed for all ages.
The Silver Strength classes will be designed for those with osteoporosis and other age related limitations or issues.
With enough interest, we are looking to launch these 45 minute classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11AM.
As we age, it’s more important than ever to keep active. As our bodies get tired and fatigued there are things we can do to help maintain both muscle strength and bone density. Exercise and weight-bearing exercises are also a vital component for treating and preventing osteoporosis. A recent article published by the NIH Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center says

“Like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. Young women and men who exercise regularly generally achieve greater peak bone mass (maximum bone density and strength) than those who do not. For most people, bone mass peaks during the third decade of life. After that time, we can begin to lose bone. Women and men older than age 20 can help prevent bone loss with regular exercise. Exercising can also help us maintain muscle strength, coordination, and balance, which in turn helps to prevent falls and related fractures. This is especially important for older adults and people who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis.”

Offering free spin classes, bootcamps, and giveaways on April 6th and April 7th, 2019

Kelowna, BC (March 25th, 2019)- Kelowna’s newest boutique spin studio, B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio, announced today that they will be hosting an open house with free spin classes and bootcamps on April 6th and 7th in Kelowna, BC, Canada, at their new studio located at 648 Cook Road.

“We are so excited to bring something new and unique to the lower mission in Kelowna,” Britney, the  ocal owner of the trendy new studio comments, “we have essentially taken away the struggle people face with planning a proper workout regime. Our combination of spin classes and strength classes provide everyone with options to build strength and burn fat without having to plan a single workout themselves. Our members can book themselves into some of our 30+ classes a week and feel confident that their health goals are being taken care of.” The new studio even offers classes to target specific problem areas such as their “Arms & Abs” or “Booty Blast” classes as well as fun themed spin classes, such as a “Hip Hop RIDE”.

“We just really want everyone to feel comfortable in our studio and during their workouts, regardless of their fitness level, age or experience. We have worked hard to remove the intimidation factor that people can feel at a lot of larger gyms and studios.”  The small locally owned studio runs with 19 of the newest spin bikes in the world, and is proud to be the first studio in North America to have the brand new Johnny G Spirit bikes. With the spin classes maxed at 19 members and their strength and bootcamp classes maxed at 10-12 people, every person is given the attention they need to have the best workout possible while providing any necessary modifications.
