It's back!...Michael's Body Scenes original group cycling program
is back!
And Now ,No Additional Fees For
SPINNING® Included With Membership (A $275 Value)!
About 10 years ago, in order to improve our already internationally
renowned group exercise program, we looked at adding a group cycling program to
our facility. Since our club is known for it's quality exercise programs, we decided
to get the best indoor cycling program available and become a licensed SPINNING® facility. We then purchased
our first generation of SPINNER® bikes made by Schwinn. The program skyrocketed and became very successful,
very fast. Due to it's popularity and high use, we ended purchasing a second generation
of SPINNER® bikes 2 1/2 years later. This group of bikes also took quite a beating
and after 2 1/2 years later we started looking again. We were very disappointed
by
the
durability of the
Schwinn
bikes.
They just couldn't hold
up
to our strong
members and extensive class
schedule.
In 2003 we looked at the LeMond Rev Masters. It seemed they had addressed
all the issues we had with durability and corrosion of the Schwinn bikes. Ironically,
a few months after we acquired the Rev Masters, Schwinn redesigned their
SPINNER® bikes and improved their durability. The LeMond Rev Masters held up
surprisingly well for over 4 years and our group cycling program thrived.
Even
though these bikes were still holding up pretty well, aside from some issues with
their computers, it was time to re-evaluate our cycling program and bring new enthusiasm
and excitement to our members. We decided to go back to our roots and bring in the
top of the line SPINNER® NXT bike. With its eye-catching design and user-friendly
features, the SPINNER® NXT, now manufactured by Star Trac®, gives you the
perfect ride, every time. Aluminum construction, upgraded brake assembly and stronger
cranks and bearings mean you get an unparalleled ride—hill after hill, jump after
jump.
Our official kick off day for the SPINNING® Program
is set for Monday October 22. The new name for our SPINNING® Studio will now be our
SPINNING® Center. Since in reality our cycling instructors
are not just teachers but also motivators that help you achieve "your"
fitness goals, they will now be your SPINNER®
Coaches. Education is a big part of the quality that you expect from our Coaches.
As a result, all of our Coaches are currently getting their re-certification on
these bikes and are logging in continuing education hours to always better their
techniques.
Enjoy the Ride...!

Here is a little more information on the SPINNING
Program:

THE SPINNING
®
PROGRAM PROMOTES BALANCED
APPROACH TO HEALTH AND FITNESS
The Spinning Program’s Straightforward Approach to Fitness
Continues to Attract Millions Worldwide
The latest trend in fitness is surprisingly lackluster. Experts are
working hard to get the word out that there is no magic solution—and that a balanced
lifestyle incorporating exercise and healthy eating habits is the key to losing
weight and keeping it off.
This simple yet profound philosophy mirrors the Spinning program’s
straightforward approach to fitness. The Spinning program is the original and most
popular indoor group cycling class. Over fifteen years after the program’s introduction,
club members continue to flock to classes. To date, the Spinning program has reached
over 25,000 clubs and millions of enthusiasts in 80 countries worldwide—and the
fad-free program’s simplicity is the key to its longevity and worldwide popularity.
The Spinning program’s simple foundation—pedaling— is one reason
for its popularity. With no complicated movements or routines to memorize, the Spinning
program is an appealing alternative to many other group exercise formats. Rather
than standing around watching an instructor perform moves that look far easier than
they are or getting frustrated with classes that are too easy or too difficult,
Spinning class participants are busy pedaling—and torching up to 500 calories per
40-minute session.
Because riders control the resistance on their own Spinner®
bike, they’re able to benefit from the energy and sense of community that the group
exercise format provides while maintaining the ability to go at their own pace.
An international team of over 100,000 highly trained Spinning instructors provides
coaching and individual attention and use motivational music and visualization to
create invigorating rides and a supportive atmosphere. Regardless of age or fitness
level, the program enables individuals to customize their workout—so everyone from
beginners to seasoned athletes gets the workout that’s right for them.
All riders are encouraged to train smarter—not harder, by using a
heart rate monitor to gage the intensity of their effort. Heart rate training is
one of the most effective ways to reap maximum benefits from a workout— and it’s
also the cornerstone of the Spinning program. The Spinning program incorporates
carefully crafted Energy Zones™ that correspond with heart rate and deliver specific
training benefits including building endurance, increasing strength and promoting
muscle recovery. In addition to helping participants achieve their specific goals,
heart rate training can also prevent over-training, burnout and injury.
