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!

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!

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.
