Introducing the “B Friends Referral Program”

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!

Here’s how it works; you retrieve your unique referral link by following these steps:

  1. Log into your account – B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio
  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.

How to Own Your Fitness This Fall

By

Making the shift from summer to fall can make sticking to your wellness schedule challenging. How do you overcome this challenge and start this new season strong? Setting clear expectations of what an ideal fall self care schedule looks like will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed down the road.

Here are some of our tips to help you stay focused and ready to own your fitness this fall:

PLAN AHEAD
We understand that life can be chaotic, but research has shown that booking your “Me Time” in advance helps you keep a better life balance because you feel less guilty taking that spin class, or going to that appointment if it’s been planned for weeks. So put it in your calendar (in pen!) and book your spin class or strength class FOR YOU.

RECRUIT A FRIEND
Accountability 101. Find a friend/spouse/child or anyone you can recruit to commit to working out with you, at least for 30 days. Creating a routine will make it easier, and having that person holding you accountable when happy hour is calling your name will help keep you in check, and on point.

Don’t have a friend like that? We’ll be your friend! Book in with a personal trainer here and you’ll be held accountable for your workouts, and you’ll gain a new fitness focused friend for the long haul!

MAKE A PLAN
As they say, “a goal without a plan is just a wish.” What is your goal? Lose 10lbs? Keep up with your kids? Fit into that outfit again? Or just have an easier time going up the stairs? Whatever your goal is, write that sh*t down and make it happen! We’re happy to help you come up with a plan that will help you accomplish that goal! Want to lose a few pounds and tone up? GREAT! Dependent on a lot of different factors, we would start with recommending 1 strength class a week, 1 spin class a week and 1 combination class. See, it’s not hard; but getting started is. Make that first step now.

MORE STRETCH – LESS STRESS
Top contributor to disease and weight gain? STRESS! Solution? RELAX! We know, easier said than done, but working out has been proven to reduce stress and improve overall well-being, so book that class (see a spin + stretch class? BOOK THAT) and sweat and stretch out your stress so that you will be a happier and more productive member of society.

You can handle this. 

A Different Kind Of Spin Class – A Different Kind Of Spin Bike

By

What makes the spin classes at B so exceptional?! Well, how long do you have? We have so many reasons to tell you why our classes are amazing, BUT we’d like to keep this article short and highlight just three of our favourites:

  1. The class styles. Love the new age spin with push-ups, dips and tap backs in the dark? it HHit a RIDE class. Prefer to keep things simpler (equally as challenging) but don’t love riding to the beat of the music? Try our Classic Rides, designed to feel more like a road ride.
  2. The instructors! Did you know most of our instructors have YEARS of teaching experience? These motivators not only talk the talk, but they walk the walk. If you’re hitting a Classic Ride class, you better believe those ladies know how to road ride. Be prepared to learn, to grow and to be pushed.
  3. Last, but certainly not least, our BIKES! Why are our bikes so great? We thought we’d let the Johnny G Spirit Bike explain for itself:

    “The Johnny G Spirit Bike is the perfect innovation – with the past molded and forged into the future. Electronically-controlled magnetic resistance creates an opportunity to duplicate, replicate and differentiate your training sessions. Key performance metrics are accessible at all times on the high-visibility LED display. The cockpit-style console has been strategically crafted to transport you into an elevated state of performance through the integration of mind and body.

  • Electronically controlled magnetic resistance system with multiple adjustment touch points.
  • Belt drive system provides the feel of a road bike.
  • Solid steel construction and triple powder coated for durability.
  • Smart, Bluetooth® and ANT+™ enabled electronics.
  • Proprietary handlebar design for comfort and resistance buttons at your fingertips regardless of ride position.”

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!

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.)
• Weekly weigh in with body fat analysis (optional)
• Fun surprises along the way (think theme rides, 90 minute ride, and giveaways!)
• Everyone who completes the challenge will have 2 free classes added to their account and be entered into the draw for a three month unlimited membership. But if we’re being honest, if you complete this you’re already a winner.

Cost: $175* PURCHASE HERE

*All current memberships can be frozen for the duration of the challenge.

Once registered, participants will receive an email before May 1st explaining the challenge and process in more detail.

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.”
