The B Family Day Of Giving

December 2, 2020 By Britney

As this crazy year comes to an end and the holidays fast approach, we are all faced with a multitude of different challenges. While the studio may not be allowed to run classes at this time, that doesn’t mean our B Family can’t rally together to continue to inspire and light up our community. 

On Friday, December 11th, B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio is lending a hand to the Central Okanagan Food Bank to help them prepare food hampers for over 3000 local households that will need one this month. There has been a 27% increase in households that are facing food insecurities since March of this year. While we may not be able to turn this year around, we can at least help turn someone’s day around. 

If you’d like to join us please email us with the time slot that you’re able to help out:

Friday, December 11th 11:00AM – 1:30PM
or
Friday, December 11th, 1:00PM – 3:30PM

If you’re unable to make it to either of these times but still want to help, you can bring some food items into the studio or you can take a below at some other ways you can help out the community through the Central Okanagan Food Bank (COFB) this holiday season. 

Words from the COFB:

This year with the holiday season fast approaching, we are all faced with different challenges. For some, it may be wondering where a healthy, warm Christmas meal may come from. For others, feeling helpless in being able to support our community. The Central Okanagan Food Bank is – as always – focused on creating a healthy, hunger free community, yet at this time we are also focused on bridging connections. Connections between those that require food assistance in our community, and those that can be of great help.

At the Central Okanagan Food Bank (COFB), a growing average of 3,195 households are served each month. Our service area spans Kelowna and West Kelowna, and due to the current economic climate, the number of households facing food insecurity continues to swell, rising over 27% since March of this year. The recent influx of client registrations reminds us that food insecurity can affect every type of household: people living with disabilities, low-income young adults, single parent-households, working families, and senior citizens.

The Central Okanagan Food Bank also assists many partner agencies in the community to provide food alongside their core social service delivery. Current partner agencies include the Canadian Mental Health Association, John Howard Society, Kelowna Gospel Mission, Kelowna Women’s Shelter, Salvation Army, Senior’s Outreach Society, Freedom’s Door, Boys & Girls Clubs, Metis Community Services, and Seniors Outreach Society, and 32 other local food banks.

October 15, 2020 By Britney

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.

Spin Bike Set Up 101

May 26, 2020 By Britney

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.

  1. Take A Seat

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.

  1. Find Your Power Position

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.

  1. Raise The Bar

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.

  1. Final Check Before Go Time

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.

  1. We’re Here To Help

    While we work to maintain proper social distancing, our staff is still available to come and help you get set up. If you are uncomfortable with bike adjustments from staff, we can guide you from a safe distance to ensure you get the proper bike set up.

 

See you soon, Kelowna!

Your Favourite Kelowna Spin Studio Celebrates Their First Year!

January 7, 2020 By Britney

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 is Home To Canada’s Only Johnny G Spin Studio

October 29, 2019 By Britney

Local Kelowna spin studio leads the industry in indoor cycling with innovative new bike

Kelowna, BC, October 29, 2019 – The iconic founder of indoor cycling, Johnny G carries his legacy in a locally owned and operated indoor cycle and strength studio in Kelowna, BC with his new bike, the Johnny G Spirit Bike. B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio announced today that they are the only studio in Canada to house the industry leading indoor cycling bikes created by Johnny G himself.

“I’ve been teaching in the industry for over 20 years, and I have never ridden a bike as smooth, and responsive as the Johnny G Spirit Bike that we have at B” states the manager of Lower Missions B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio, Cindy Klann. “ from the electronic shifting to the digital display of watts, rpm’s and gear, you really feel like you’re on a quality road bike” she adds.  

“We’re excited to launch into the Canadian spin studio market and honoured that B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio has selected the Johnny G Spirit bike in their beautiful new studio. The innovative and unique class structure concept they offer combined with my new state of the art bike is definitely going to change the spin game in Kelowna and undoubtedly in Canada as well”  explains Johnny G, the founder of indoor cycling and the revolutionary behind the innovative new bike.

While the capability of the Johnny G Spirit Bike is designed to appease even the most serious road riders, the experienced instructors at B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio work with all fitness levels to leverage the functionality of the bikes to help each rider progress on their own journey; allowing each ride to be different for every person. In addition to each rider being given the guidance to control their own ride, the studio also has a very unique approach in their class schedule; offering classic ride classes which are thoroughly designed around a road ride, as well as RIDE classes which are a rhythm based class that incorporates upper body pumps and dips as riders move to the beat of the music.

“B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio has created the perfect environment to launch this new bike, innovative and unique, classic yet comfortable with the adaptability to suit any fitness level. We are excited to watch this studio take Kelowna by storm” concludes Johnny G.

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.

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.
