COVID- 19 Update

By

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:

  • Those on auto-renewing memberships will have the option to pause their account by simply responding to this email and changing the subject to “Please Pause.” However, as a young, new business, we kindly ask that if you are in a financial position to keep your membership running you do so – we will be forever grateful for you lightening the burden this has placed on us. You can change your mind at any time should your own circumstances change.
  • All punch passes will have an extended expiration date.
  • All those on introductory offers will have their terms extended.
  • We have also set no expiration on all punch passes purchased during this time, so anything purchased during this time can be used at a later date at B.
  • We are still offering discounted personal training sessions at this time.
  • We will be offering free, private workout sessions for all Interior Health staff supporting this pandemic on the front line.

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

Your Favourite Kelowna Spin Studio Celebrates Their First Year!

By

We’re turning one and we could not think of a better way to celebrate than throwing a party with all of our favourite people.

Get ready to sweat, eat, drink, and laugh with the B Family. We’ll have snacks, games, contests and free classes all day. 

Make sure you come take advantage of the amazing special offers that will only be available in studio! 

We take our birthday seriously, so here’s the schedule:

Saturday, January 11th, 2020

7:30AM –  Doors Open

8:30AM – Classic Spin
Love the ride, but not all the hype? This classic spin focuses more on technique, 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 heck of a ride.

10:00AM – RIDE + Core
Get your daily H.I.I.T. that’ll make you feel better than a lunch time cocktail. This power packed class is 30 minutes of a rhythm based spin class, followed by 15 minutes of a straight up, washboard ab-making core session.

10:45AM – 12:00PM – Mimosa Mingler
Not a class, just a good time. Hang out and have a post-spin mimosa while you get to know the B Family. 

3:30PM – Doors Open for Round Two
Come in and get your hair braided before spin by the girls from Total E’clips!

4:15PM – Beyonce VS Rihanna
This isn’t your average “spin class.” We ride to the beat of music, we pump, we dip, we turn down the lights, and you experience 45 minutes of high intensity bliss, followed by a rush of endorphins that will take you through the day.

5:00PM – 7:00PM – Happy Hour 
Again, not a class – just come join us for some laughs and sangria! 

All classes are free, so reserve your spot today! If you can’t make a class but still want to come, please let us know!  

Kelowna Spin Studio Hosts Indoor Cycle Training For Road Riders

By

BCycle Training – A personalized 8 week training program to improve performance

Kelowna, BC (December 30th, 2019)- Local Kelowna spin studio, B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio, in the lower mission launches an indoor cycle training program designed for avid outdoor cyclists. The 8 week program is ran by Robin Wallouch, an avid road rider and experienced indoor cycling instructor.

“This specialized 8 week training program 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, “explains the studio owner, Britney B,  “FTP will be used to determine your training zones for all sessions going forward and will allow you to measure your improvements over the course of the 8 week program.”

This unique program will be running Wednesdays at 5:00PM on the following dates:
January 8, 15, 22,29
February 5, 19, 26 and March 4

Wallouch will work closely with each attendee and their personal FTP each class; unlike traditional “spin classes” Wallouch will not be on a bike, but instead working with each participant individually to ensure they are progressing properly. This type of training is designed to develop strong cycling in specific zones, improve endurance, improve technique and allow each rider an opportunity to improve their overall cycling performance, whether they take that with them on the road, or into their next spin class.

Spots are limited in this exclusive program and registration closes January 5th, 2020 – registration can be made at www.bcycleandstrength.com

Introducing the 8 Week BCycle Training Program

By

This is what you’ve been waiting for, Kelowna!

Whether your just want to feel more comfortable and confident in spin class, or you’re training for a triathlon or Gran Fondo, the BCycle 8 Week Training Program is the perfect way to improve your cycling game, no matter what your current fitness level is.

The BCycle Training Program is a series of 8 spin classes for all fitness levels and is designed to accelerate your cycling ability and improve your overall performance on a bike; whether that’s indoors or outdoors.

In this 8 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.  The instructor 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 8 week program runs on Wednesdays at 5:00PM on the following dates:
January 8, 15, 22,29
February 5, 19, 26
March 4

The instructor for this exciting cycling program is Robin Wallouch.

The class breakdown is as follows:

Class 1 (January 8th, 2020): This workout is designed to find your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) which is commonly defined as the highest average power you can sustain for one hour, measured on the bike in watts.  FTP will be used to determine your training zones for all sessions going forward.  Our first class will be a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as your basis for what you will do later in the 20 minute all out effort.  

Class 2 (January 15th, 2020) :  This session will focus on hard, short efforts followed by settling back into a constant effort.  

Class 3 (January 22nd, 2020): 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 as to be unsustainable.  It’s 85-95% of your average threshold power.  

Class 4 (January 29rd, 2020): Will focus on steady building from 75% -115% of your FTP.  

Class 5 (February 5th, 2020): Will focus on 30 second efforts with short recoveries to boost your VO2 power (just love your FTP).

Class 6 (February 19th, 2020):  The super peaks pyramid will focus on short intensity in the anaerobic capacity zone.  

Class 7 (February 26th, 2020):  Will focus on sprints. This session is designed to simulate the demands of a road race, in which you are sprinting to get away from a group.

Class 8 (March 4th, 2020): This session will be Time Trials. It will start with a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as your basis for what you will do in your 20 minute all out effort.  This class will allow you to see how much you’ve improved from the first session.  

 

The program cost is $240 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!

By

We are thrilled to announce the rollout of our new B Friends Referral Program. With this referral program you, our lovely and loyal members will be given the opportunity to receive free classes or a discount on your monthly membership!

  2. Click “My Account”
  3. Select “My Info”

Here you will see a section titled “Referrals” with an “invite a friend” link on the far right, send that link to your friends.

Once a friend creates a new account using the link you sent them, they will be registered as your referral. There are two different referral perks, dependent on which type of membership you have.

  1. If you have an unlimited membership

If your membership is:
The B Pass
B Committed
B Our Family

If your referral also signs up for one of the above memberships you will receive $10 off every month that your referral continues their membership.

ADDED PERK: If you are on the B Our Family pass, your referee is eligible to sign up for the B Our Family pass as well, even though it is no longer a public offering.  Friends supporting friends <3

This perk is virtually unlimited; if you pay $130/month for the B Pass, and 5 of your friends sign up for The B Pass as well, your next payments will be $80/month for as long as those friends continue with their unlimited membership.

  1. If you are using punch passes

Using your unique referral link – you will receive 5 FREE CLASSES, once your referee spends $250.   This is a one time reward (you will not be granted another 5 free classes when they reach $500, etc.) You can however, refer an unlimited number of new people, and receive 5 free classes from each of THEIR purchases. One referee = one chance to receive 5 free classes.

This is a new program, so while we truly appreciate any referrals you have already made, only new accounts created using the referral link will be eligible.
