You know it. We know it. Everyone’s on the same page…
IT’S TIME FOR A RESET!
Summer was fun, weird, busy, and just plain chaotic this year. When we get taken out of our routine it’s easy to make bad decisions, unfortunately it doesn’t take long for these temporary bad decisions to become permanent bad habits. Rest assured, we are here to help you reset your life and bring those healthy habits back.
Our 21 Day Reset Challenge is exactly what you need to get back into the swing of things; someone to hold you accountable for working out every day for 21 days. That’s it. Sign up for the challenge, book in 21 spin classes, 21 strength classes or a combination of both and take back your life.
Can’t make it into the studio every day? Not a valid excuse – your registration also gives you access to our online workouts; including a 21 day home workout challenge.
The Reset Challenge is simple:
1. Sign up and receive:
– 21 classes on your account to book yourself in
– Your own board posted in the studio to hold you accountable
– Access to our online workouts
– Entry to win a free 3 month membership, supplements and free passes for your friends
2. Each day join us in the studio to get your sweat on, and stay motivated OR log into the website and complete the workout of the day (all workouts will remain on the site, so you can redo your favourites, or play catch up if you get busy!)
3. Check off your workout on your accountability tracker (if there’s not a sticker, did it even happen?)
4. Repeat for 21 days.
The cost of the challenge is $121 to join us in the studio, or $37 if you only want online access and you can sign up here.
If you are a B member who has left their membership running to help support B throughout the last few months, your sign-up fee is waived; simply send us an email letting us know you’d like to participate and we will send you the password and challenge details. We appreciate your support <3
Let’s hit RESET, together.
SIGN UP BEFORE NOVEMBER 2nd!

As times change, we are forced to adapt and while this can be scary and off-putting at times we at B are excited and proud to continue to offer our members an amazing variety of fun fitness classes to help them reach their goals! Our studio is a safe sanctuary for you to sweat, laugh and maybe even cry in. With extra sanitation protocols in place, you can come to B with one thing on your mind – getting the best workout you can! Let us worry about covid for you, if only for the 45 minutes.
Currently, we are offering the following fitness classes at our studio in Kelowna’s lower mission.
Rhythm RIDE: This isn’t your average “spin class.” We ride to the music, we turn down the lights, and you experience 45 minutes of high intensity bliss, pumps/dips, drills, sprints, and a ride that will leave you with a rush of endorphins that will take you through the day.
Classic Spin: Love to ride, but not all the hype? Think of the our Classic Spin as a road ride; focusing more on technique, road style training drills and getting you moving, while providing a little bit more recovery time. It’s brighter, it’s (a little bit) quieter but it’s still one hell of a ride.
Rise N’ Ride: Wake up in the morning feelin’ like P-Diddy – there’s no better way to start your day than this high-energy class packed full of intervals, hills, races, and rhythm riding to the latest and greatest beats. This class will spike your heart rate, get your muscles fired up, your metabolism revving and make sure you start your day with a smile! We promise it’s better than brushing your teeth with a bottle of jack. Extra motivation included, because, mornings.
Spin + Core: Name a better combo…we’ll wait. This class has everything you want/need in a 30 minute rhythm based class, followed by 15 minutes of core work on the mat. Guaranteed you’ll walk out feelin’ like a boss.
Bootcamp – This class has got it all. Muscle sculpting exercises designed to get every muscle firing, executed in a H.I.I.T. style class that keeps your heart rate up, and your body firing on all cylinders.
Straight Strength – Skip the cardio. This class is dedicated to building strength, toning the body and developing muscle in all the right areas. No cardio required.
Arms & Abs: All things upper body. Toned arms, back and shoulders, not to mention core exercises that are destined to build rock solid abs. Yes.Please.
Booty Blast: Need we say more? You’ll have legs for days (not to mention a butt worth taking a second look at) after this class! Off the bike and into the strength room we go for this leg day.
It’s time to let go of whatever has been holding you back. Today is the day.

There has been a LOT of changes in the world lately. Some businesses have closed and others have been forced to adapt in order to stay open. While the impact of these changes is astronomical, today we’re just looking at how this effects your workout routine! We’ve talked to a lot of people in Kelowna that are looking to get back into fitness after the quarantine and they aren’t sure what to do.
Many larger gyms have been forced to set up a booking schedule in order to safely monitor the number of people and to allow adequate cleaning time to make sure the facility stays safe. Now, we hear you gym goers – one of the main reasons you go to the gym instead of classes is that you can go whenever you want, and stay however long you want. With this no longer the case, we think it’s time you gave us a try and joined us for a spin class or bootcamp!
There are so many benefits to attending group fitness classes! We understand they aren’t for everyone, that was us at one time too…”I can get a better workout on my own” was our own mentality at one point, but once you see the results from our quick and effective workouts, it may just change your mind!
So why should you try one of our classes?
So next time you find that you’ve hit a fitness or weight loss plateau, take a look at our class schedule and book yourself in for a quick and effective workout with us in Kelowna’s lower mission. Whether it’s cardio and spin you’re looking for, or a straight strength building class – we have got you covered!

We’ll admit, spin bikes aren’t the MOST comfortable things in the world to sit on…especially when you’re just starting out or getting back into the spin life. However, a proper bike set-up will make the experience a little more enjoyable! With the increased awareness of health and safety in mind, we are encouraging all B riders to read through the bike set-up details below to gain a proper understanding of how to set up your bike. This allows our staff to keep a safe distance from you, as well as reducing any additional contact on the bike.
Step One: Find Your Bike
In order to continue spin classes, we have had to move our spin bikes around to allow proper social distancing. Take a look at the bottom right corner of the bike to see the bike number, and if you don’t remember which bike number you’ve booked simply ask our front desk staff and they will remind you.
Step Two: Where to Start
Adjust the seat, then the handlebars.
Step Three: Hip Don’t Lie
As a starting point, the seat should be about hip height. Stand right next to the saddle and place your hand on your high hip bone and then lift your knee closest to the bike up to hip height to get an idea of what height the saddle should be. Take a look at the height number so you can set up more easily next time.
Clip your shoes in by aligning the cleat to the clip and press through until you hear a ‘click’. Next, pedal through so you are in the bottom of the pedal stroke – You want a relatively full extension of the leg with a slight, soft bend at the knee. If you hyper-extend the knee or feel as though you are reaching for the pedals, you need to lower the seat. If the knee is too bent and you are not getting a full extension, you will need to lift the seat higher.
The saddle slides back and forth and you will select its proper position by looking at the angle of your knees and where they fall over the pedals. You want your knees to be over the ball of your foot. Start with the saddle in a neutral position (a good starting point is placing your elbow to the end of the saddle and allowing your fingertips to just touch the handlebars). Then, get your body into riding position (hips back, neutral – not rounded or hyper-extended) and bring one pedal directly in front of the other so that the cranks of the bike are even with each other.
With your feet parallel check to see where the knee is sitting in relation to your foot. If the knee goes too far forward over the toes, slide the seat back. If the knee falls over or behind the ankle, slide forward.
Handlebar height is more of a rider preference. An avid outdoor cyclist may prefer the handlebars quite low, while indoor riders are often more comfortable with the handlebars at seat height or higher. If you have back issues, it’s recommended that the handlebars be up a little higher. Our Johnny G Spin bikes are designed to feel like a road bike, so the handlebar height doesn’t go extremely high. Again, take a look at the number when raising the handlebars, it will say ‘max’ when they cannot be raised anymore.
Make sure all the knobs are tightened and your seat and handlebars aren’t loose or wobbly at all. Take note that the handlebars also slide back and forth – If you feel like you need a slight adjustment, start at a neutral position and see if you can comfortably grip handlebars without reaching for them while keeping shoulders drawn back away from the ears and maintaining a soft bend at elbows. Always have a light grip on the handlebars and let the legs bear the body weight. Check that your knees don’t hit or come uncomfortably close to the handlebars as well, check your positioning for both seated and standing positions.
See you soon, Kelowna!

Weird times, are we right?
With the COVID pandemic having taken over and shut down the world there is one thing we can all agree on, things aren’t going to be the same moving forward for a while. We are fortunate to have low numbers in Kelowna, and at B we plan to do everything we can to keep it that way. With careful consideration and hours of work incorporating feedback from doctors, WHO, and the Ministry of Health, we have established a safe set of protocols to allow us to safely and confidently reopen our doors.
These protocols will continue to evolve as we learn more, and we are committed to staying on top of all newly released information. At this point in time, our new protocols in place are:
We understand this is a lot, but if this is what we need to do to keep our spin and strength classes, let’s just do it! We need the support and cooperation from each of you now, more than ever to allow us to continue running our amazing classes and keeping our strong community vibe.
If you have any questions, or would like any more information please don’t hesitate to ask.
We cannot wait to see you on the bike.
With love Kelowna,
B

THIS IS YOUR COMEBACK, BABY!
It’s Time To Step Things Up a Notch!
We’ve taken time off, we’ve rested, we’ve cooked, we’ve cleaned, we’ve de-cluttered (and de-cluttered again) and now we are READY to get back into shape. It can be so hard to stay motivated with your fitness goals when you’re stuck at home, and it’s also very easy to get lazy and to forget what it feels like to be fit, energetic and strong…remember what that felt like?
Our 21 Day Comeback Challenge is exactly what you need to back into the swing of things. We are hopeful to get the go-ahead for a partial re-open June 1, and have designed this challenge to prepare you to hit the ground running when you get back into B, or back to your normal fitness routine. Regardless of your current fitness level (or lack of), your time frame (some workouts are only 21 minutes) or your actual self motivation, this challenge is the perfect workout program for everyone!
The Comeback Challenge is simple:
1. Sign up and receive:
– a password to log into the challenge website
– the file to print your own “accountability board”
– a template to share your progress on social media
2. Each day, log into the website and complete the workout of the day (all workouts will remain on the site, so you can redo your favourites, or play catch up if you get busy!)
3. Check off your workout on your accountability tracker
4. Repeat for 21 days
The challenge is designed to start whenever you want…so, you didn’t “miss it” and it’s not “too late.” Now is the perfect time to get started!
The cost of the challenge is $37 and you can sign up here.
If you’re not interested in participating in the challenge, but are still looking for some inspiration, with a donation of your choice, you can have access to our online workout videos, including isolated exercise videos.
If you are a B member who has left their membership running to help support B throughout the last few months, your sign-up fee is waived; simply send us an email letting us know you’d like to participate and we will send you the password and challenge details. We appreciate your support <3
Let’s get this party started, we can’t wait to sweat with you again!
By Britney
Having trouble staying motivated at home? Lack the discipline to schedule in your own home workouts? Or maybe you just find you’re not seeing the same results that you’re used to. We understand, after all, that’s probably why you were coming to classes in the first place!
B is thrilled to announce our newest #StayHome initiative – B Fit Virtual Trainer. This program will set you up with a personal trainer/accountability coach, that will video in to keep your workouts on track through whichever video platform you’re most comfortable with; Facetime, Skype, Zoom, Hangouts, etc. Through these video chats, we will walk you through your workouts, correct your form, provide guidance and motivation and make sure you’re truly getting the most out of your home workout!
It’s simple, it’s fun, and it’s everything you need right now:
What’re you waiting for? It looks like we may be at home for a while, so let’s get you back on track before that track starts to disappear 😉
Sending virtual hugs, and sweat.

B Family,
It is with sad, but full hearts, and tremendous hope for the future that I write to announce we will be temporarily closing our doors effective immediately.
As the COVID-19 situation has evolved, so has our response. While we aimed to provide you with a health sanctuary for your fitness as long as we felt it was safe, recent updates provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) now state that further action needs to be taken to help minimize the impact of COVID-19. With this updated information, we no longer feel that it is safe for you, or our community to keep our classes running.
Throughout this process, we have been clear that our goal was always to provide a safe space for you. We tried to stay open as long as we could to offer our team and our community a place of stability in a scary, and ever-changing world. We are a small business built on the foundation of incredible people, and we stand by our decisions and are grateful that we were able to provide you with a safe sanctuary for as long as we did.
As such, I feel it is important to recognize our amazing team, and all of our members, our B family, that came together to keep B a safe space, a home away from home, during this chaos. The B staff who showed up to follow through on our ongoing commitment and promise to you of offering exceptional classes, and an ever-loving inclusive community, who worked tirelessly through it all while keeping spirits high and smiles bright to create lasting memories of happiness and togetherness. For this, I can’t thank you all enough. You are all loved so much and such a big part of what makes B,B.
As of today, all classes in studio will be suspended temporarily, until we receive further information indicating it is once again safe to operate. More information on our online workout classes can be found below. In the meantime:
We strongly believe in movement and while we can’t move collectively as one right now, we’ll be sharing home workout videos that you can do from home to keep you active and moving while this runs its course. For the time being, we are running this private collection of workout videos for our B Family, on our Facebook page – simply request to join the “B Fit – Home Edition” group for unlimited access to these classes. This is an ever-evolving platform, so check back regularly for changes and new classes. It’s going to be fun 😉
This remains a complex and rapidly changing situation that reminds us that we are all part of a broader community with a responsibility to look out for each other. We encourage you to try and stay calm, kind, and positive in these times of uncertainty. As we say in our classes, we are all in this together, you are not alone.
Thank you for your support. We will come out the other side of this challenge stronger…together. For now, let’s “just B”.
Much love,
B
