8 Week Weight Loss Program - FAQ's

On January 13th, we are launching our first session of the Spinning 8 Week Weight Loss Program, so I thought it would make sense to break it down for you.  If you were thinking about making a New Year's Resolution for weight loss or to better your health, this is a great way to get there!

What is it?
It is a weight loss plan that you can live with, not a diet.
We combine exercise, eating right and developing healthy lifestyle choices to get you to reach your goals.

What do I get when I sign up?
A step-by-step manual, heart rate charts, recipes, nutrition information, a food shopping list, daily log book and motivating advice.
Weekly emails from Angela to keep you on track and motivated.
Weekly Endurance Rides - Sunday at 11:15am for 8 weeks.
Fitness Assessments to measure your progress (privately).
Weekly meetings where you will get coaching and motivation from the group and the program leader.
An online forum where you can share your experiences, ask questions and read success stories.

How much is it?
$149 if you sign up before 12/31/12, $159 if you sign up after that date.

Can't I just buy the manual and do it myself without a coach or the group?
Sure, but I promise you, you will not see the results you are expecting if you try this on your own.  Our instructors have been trained and certified to help you reach your goals and want to motivate you along every step of the way.

How much exercise is expected?
Spinning recommends that you ride in the Endurance Energy Zone 3 times a week along with 2 hours per week of strength and resistance training.  1 ride is included per week with the program (Sunday at 11:15am) and each of our instructors will be assigned an endurance ride once a week to make sure you can fit them in.  Spin Fit, Powerhouse  and Yoga all count towards the strength and resistance workouts.  It is only 5 hours out of 168 that you have in a week - we can do this!

Spaces are limited, so if you were considering signing up, now is the time.  Why wait another day to be a little healthier and happier?  YOU deserve it!  Email Angela at saratogacyclingstudio@gmail.com for more details and to sign up.

We Launched our Retail Line!

Happy Holiday's Psycho's!  One of the many reasons that Jerry and I wanted to open our own Spinning studio was because we saw so many opportunities for success that were being ignored by other managers or owners.  Since the day we opened, folks have been begging us for SCS apparel.  We are finally able to produce great products, using a local print shop to help us out. 

If you go to our Mindbody site, click on "Online Store" and you can see all of the different retail items we are now selling.  Many items come in different colors which you can choose once you click on the product.  They also come in various sizes to suit everyone and most feature wicking technology to keep you looking good and staying cool while pedaling away.

To make it even more convenient, you can make your purchase online and then pick it up in the studio!  All you need to do is print up your receipt and bring it into your next class to pick up your new SCS gear.

Since this is our first "batch", quantities are a bit limited, so make your selections while you still can!

Here are some songs that have been making me smile lately:

I'm Not Alone - Calvin Harris
Scream & Shout - Wil.I.Am & Britney Spears
Set it on Fire - My Darkest Days
River - Civil Twilight
Desire - U2

Holiday News and Tunes

Hello psycho's!  I really owe you all an apology for not keeping up with this blog as much as I should.  I am not one to make excuses, so I will just try to be on here more often.

The holiday season is upon us and it is a very nice surprise that we have had so many folks in the studio.  From my past experience, this is the sloooooooowest time for a gym or fitness facility because everyone gets so busy and fitness sometimes is at the bottom of the "to do" list.  Thank you for your continued loyalty and dedication to the Saratoga Cycling Studio!. 

As we continue to grow and expand, I will do my best to keep you updated.
