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.”

Why You Should Try Taking A Spin Class

By

We’re all looking to better ourselves in one way or another. Oftentimes we are trying to improve our health by committing to a regular workout routine; we join a gym, download an app, or sign up for some classes at the local spin or yoga studio. The truth is, a lot of people aren’t sure what the best fitness option for them is, and find themselves plateauing or even worse, giving up completely. We’re here to tell you that’s okay! You don’t have to love every form of exercise that Kelowna has to offer. What we do want you to do however, is give them a try! You may hate the idea of attending a spin class, bootcamp or lifting weights, but after a few classes you might find yourself actually enjoying the workout, and loving the results – but if you don’t try, you’ll never know!  

We might be biased, but we want to tell you why we think spin is such a great workout for everybody, and encourage you to try a class or two to see if it’s something that will work for you!

  1. You Are Not Alone.
    At B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio, we have community of people all working towards their unique goal, and all of us are doing it together. We ride together, we sweat together, we grow together. Sit in the back, keep to yourself if you want, but the sense of community you’ll belong to will always be there.
  2. It’s Quick & Convenient.
    You might need to ride for hours outside to get a good workout in, but with our Johnny G Spirit Bikes and motivating instructors, our 45 minute spin classes will fly by. The music is loud, the lights are low, the instructors are full of motivation, and the only thing you need to do, is move your legs and adjust the tension and pace when you’re told. No planning, no prep, no thinking – just get on, and ride. We handle the rest.
  3. It’s Not Just Cardio.
    We have a lot of people (*cough*men*cough*) that avoid spin classes because they don’t want to attend a cardio class. While you certainly improve your cardiovascular health, and burn a ton of calories, you are also putting in a LOT of work in building those leg, calf, and core muscles. If you think it’s just a cardio class, just wait and see how sore your legs are after a good class; you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
  4. It’s A Great Low Impact Activity.
    Knee issues are so common today that a lot of people who were once very active and athletic find themselves unable to participate in their normal activities without pain. Another reason to come in for a spin class! Your knees, hips and ankles don’t take the usual impact they would in a lot of other activities. Your joints are kept in check throughout the class and you can (literally) walk away without pain. To top it off, if you are coming back from an injury, spin is one of the best ways to build back strength and muscle without putting too much pressure on the injury.
  5. It’s Fun!
     Again, we might be biased, but if you haven’t been to one of our classes then you don’t know, it is so much fun. With the music blaring, your body moving, the lights changing and the instructor calling out drills and motivation, it’s not hard to forget that you’re in an intensive workout class. Your sweat may remind you, but we promise you’ll leave with a smile!

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.
