Looking For a New Gym in Kelowna?

By

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?

  1. Variety
    How often do you wander around the gym doing the same exercises because that’s what your comfortable with? Or skip cardio because you don’t feel like it? Take a class with us and learn some new moves, you can even take these new exercises with you the next time you go back to the gym 😉
  2. Direction
    There is something magic about having a trainer explain each exercise. Small tweaks and adjustments can make the world of difference when it comes to results and injury prevention.

  3. Efficiency
    In and out in under an hour – ah-mazing. When it comes to spin, 45 minutes is more than enough, this isn’t a causal road ride…we’ll push you past your limits and make sure you get the most of the 45 minute ride. What about strength class? We super-set everything with minimal rest time – let’s get it all in.

  4. Community & Accountability
    As you continue to come to our boutique studio, you will get to know the members and become a part of our B family. Together, we inspire each other to be the best we can be.

  5. Motivation
    You will always have an instructor explaining what to do, reminding you to keep going and encouraging you to push past your limits. We are here to support you and help you reach your goals.

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!

Spin Bike Set Up 101

By

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!

Kelowna Residents Eligible For “Family Rate” At Local Spin Studio

By

Unlimited spin and strength classes for $89 ends this month

February 10, 2020 – Kelowna, BC – B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio announced today, that they have opened up their “B Our Family” rate for the month of February to all local Kelowna residents. This rate of $89/month entitles the member to unlimited spin, strength and bootcamp classes at the trendy, lower mission studio.

“We have offered this package for short durations in the past, but with only a limited number of spots,” explains the studio’s owner, Britney B, “we won’t be offering this package again after February, so we have decided to open it up to all local Kelowna residents until the end of the month.” The package allows members to commit to 12 months of unlimited spin and strength classes for only $89 per month. Britney continues that “you are essentially making great use of it even if you only come 5-6 times a month!” This particular membership can be put on hold once per year, for a minimum of a month – perfect for those snowbirds or for those who like to spend the summer exercising outdoors.

“It really holds me accountable to working out at least twice a week,” adds a current B member, “I know that I have unlimited classes, so I want to make good use of it.” With over 30 classes per week, the lower mission studio makes it easy to improve your cardio, build strength and lose weight in an inclusive community of welcoming members.

The classes at B differ from other spin studios in Kelowna as they offer two styles of spin classes;  rhythm based classes that go to the beat of the music, as well as road ride focused classes, called “Classic Spin” where there is no rhythm or experience required to keep up with the class that is designed around a road ride. Additionally, their strength classes have a maximum class size of 12 people, so members always get the attention they need; allowing them to see results, while avoiding injury caused by incorrect form or technique.

About B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio
B is built on the philosophy, “If you want to Be Happy, Just Be.”

Creating a positive, encouraging, and motivating fitness experience, B offers 45-minute indoor cycling and strength classes that feature high-intensity cardio, muscle-sculpting strength training, and rhythm-fueled movements for men and women alike.

We are designed to be your everything when it comes to your fitness goals; equal parts strength and cardio, you are on the path to success when you join the B family.

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 is Home To Canada’s Only Johnny G Spin Studio

By

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.

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. 

Introducing the BCycle 6 Week Training Program

By

The BCycle Training Program is a spin class for all fitness levels and is designed to accelerate your cycling ability and help you achieve your goals; whether it’s to improve on a Gran Fondo, tackle a charity ride, ride with more experience or simply increase your personal fitness level and cycle knowledge.

In this 6 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.  Robin 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 6 week program runs on Wednesdays at 5:00PM from September 11, 2019 – October 16, 2019 with the fabulous Robin Wallouch.

The breakdown of each class is as follows:

Session 1 (September 11): This workout 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.  FTP will be used to determine your training zones for all of our sessions going forward and will allow you to measure your improvements over the course of 6 weeks. Our first class will be a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as you bases for what you will do in the 20 minute all out effort.  

Session 2 (September 18):  This session will focus on hard short efforts followed by settling back into a constant effort.  

Session 3 (September 25): 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 that as to be unsustainable.  It’s 85-95% of your average threshold power.  

Session 4 (October 2): Will focus on steady building from 75% -115% of your FTP.  

Session 5 (October 9): Will focus on 30 second efforts with short recoveries to boost your VO2 power (just love your FTP)

Session 6 (October 16) :  The super peaks pyramid will focus on short intensity in the anaerobic capacity zone.  This will most likely be the toughest of the 6 sessions.  

The program cost is $180 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!

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.
