Why You Should Add A Strength Class To Your Fitness Schedule

By

Spin classes get a lot of hype these days, why is that? Well, first of all, they are an amazing cardiovascular workout that burns a TON of calories! Not to mention, rhythm-based classes with dark lights and loud music (check out our RIDE classes) make your workout feel more like a party than a fat torching sweat session…so, we love spin. Obviously. But what we wanted to talk about is why adding a few dedicated strength training sessions are equally as important when working towards a fitness goal.

Firstly, when you’re strength training your body not only burns calories during your workout but it continues to burn calories after your workout as it works to repair the muscle you’ve just worked. Which means that while you might  not burn as many calories during that 45 minute session, overall you will be burning more calories, as your body will continue to burn through the calories in the recovery process that can last for hours, or even days. Have you ever had a really tough workout? Or a huge hike? Think about how hungry you were the next day? That’s your body burning up calories to repair itself. The muscle that you have on your body actually burns more calories than other tissues, including fat! Meaning, that building muscle is a major component in increasing your resting metabolism, that is, how many calories burns when it’s in a resting state. Hello, you lean machine you!

We want all of our members to reach their goals, and live a full and balanced life. Which is why we think it’s important to have a strength training session or two added to your workout routine every week.  We are a few different styles of strength classes, because we understand it’s not everybody’s jam to hit the weights.

 

Our Straight Strength classes are focused on form, technique, toning and building. There is no cardio in this class; which means you can focus solely on tightening/toning/lifting whichever areas you want to focus on, while keeping your heart rate at a moderate rate.

Our Boot camps on the other hand, are a high paced workout that build strength, and keep your heartrate elevated throughout the 45 minute class. All exercises are focused on building muscle in the areas you need/want it the most. Have something particular you’d like to work out? Tell our trainer and they will work it in. All of our classes are designed by our professional fitness trainers and can be modified around any injuries.

So the next time you feel like you could use a little extra motivation, some extra fat burning and a revamped outlook on fitness, join us for a strength or boot camp session…you will not regret it.

Kelowna’s Newest Spin Studio Offers Six Different Class Types

By

When it comes to working out in Kelowna, we know you have a lot of options; there are spin studios, bootcamp facilities, fitness classes at the gym, and at home training programs, so what’s a fitness goer to do? Well, at B, we have taken the “work” out of planning your workout. We offer a wide variety of spin and strength training classes that will hit every muscle in your body, every day. With one membership you can improve your cardio, decrease your fat, and build lean muscle, and we almost forgot to mention, you’ll have fun while you’re doing it! We don’t believe fitness is “one size fits all” so we offer a variety of classes to ensure there is something for everyone. 

Here’s a breakdown of the six fitness classes we are offering at our new studio in the lower mission:

RIDE: Our signature class. 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, drills, sprints, and a ride that will leave you with a rush of endorphins that will take you through the day.

Classic Ride: Love the ride, but not all the hype? Think of this classic ride as more of a road ride that 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 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. 

Lunch RIDE – The slightly less excessive sister of our standard RIDE class. Five minutes shorter, at noon, so you can get your sweat on and sneak in a lunch before you get back to the grind.

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.
