You Are so Generous!

Thank you to everyone that attended and donated to the "Spin for Sammy" charity ride.  It was a huge success and their family cannot thank you enough for your generosity.

If you missed this ride, we are hosting a Breast Cancer Awareness ride on Sunday, October 6th at noon.  We will have not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 instructors coaching you through this emotional and powerful ride!  Sign up through Active.com to participate.  You get a FREE shirt with your registration.

Here are some songs that I am loving lately:

Work, Work - Britney Spears
Electro Man - Benny Benassi
Let Her Go - Passenger
Hail to the King - Avenged Sevenfold
Misery Loves Company - Three Days Grace

My Weight's Class is Back!

Continuing education through the Saratoga School District is starting back up the week of September 23rd.  I will be teaching my "fitness with weights for men and women" again this semester!  It begins on Wednesday, September 25th at 5:30pm.  The program runs for 6 weeks and it only costs $35 to participate.  I just ask that you bring a mat and a set of hand - weights (2-5lbs).

If you are interested in joining, check out this link.

I hope to see you there!

Back to School!

It is that glorious time of year again, when we all get back to class!  The kids begin class tomorrow and that means your schedule is going to change again.  To ease you back into the saddle, we are offering a 15% off discount to take off of your next purchase.  You can view the promo code by "liking" us on Facebook.

As the weather gets cooler, we will start adding more and more classes to accommodate your needs.  In the meantime, make sure to have a package in place so that you can reserve in advance and never be waitlisted again.

Here are some songs I am loving this week:

What's New at SCS?

If you have participated in our recent online survey, thank you for your feedback!  As the weather gets nicer, our studio adjusts our schedule to meet your needs.  We know you want to Spin as much as possible in the summer, but it might be a struggle between that cold margarita and hopping on our bike.  I hope that you can appreciate the time and effort we put forth in producing the June schedule to accommodate your requests.  Just remember - anything can be changed!  In the fall, when the weather starts to cool down again, the schedule will change with those demands.

Here are some things that changed per your requests:

• Monday, Powerhouse Spin moved back to 7am.
• Tuesday, Spin Fit is now called Spin Fit Total Body.  It is an intense 30 minutes on the bike followed by 30 minutes off the bike.  We will focus on strengthening and toning the entire body using bands, hand weights, and much more!  If you just want to get a quick, calorie burning ride in and skip the total body portion, you are welcome to do just that.
• Friday, we added a NEW class called, Total Body Fitness at 8:15am.  This is 40 minutes completely off the bike to strengthen and tone the entire body!  Hand weights and bands will be used.
• Friday, we added another new class called, Spin Xpress at 9am.  It is a 45 minute Spin class that will allow you to workout in less time and get the same results!  Start your weekend off early with this new format.
• Sunday, Powerhouse Spin is now offered at 9:30am. In the survey, lots of you suggested an earlier time slot so that you could workout and enjoy the nice weather.

We certainly strive to give you want you want because SCS isn't our studio, it is YOURS!  We appreciate your support!

Party Time!

With May 1st quickly approaching, we have been putting together our 1 year Anniversary party at SCS.   Join us May 11th for an awesome class with DJ Chris Wright "spinning" the tunes.  We are offering two class times: 5:45pm and 7:00pm for your convenience.  You get a really great SCS shirt with your registration as well.  It is filling fast, so hop onto our schedule, click the "events" tab and grab your bike!  We will be giving away door prizes, apparel, water bottles and some classes!

Keep It Rolling!

Spring is in the air here in Upstate New York and it couldn't come soon enough!  I wanted to keep you apprise of all of our upcoming events and news at the studio. 

Last week we added two classes, Thursday at 7:30pm with Gail and Sunday at 8:45am with Rebecca.  Both classes have had a big response, so thank you for your attendance!  We now offer up to 23 different classes per week!

We also have added a few more bikes to better accommodate our clients that have been stuck on our waistlists.  The room is still just as comfortable with about 2.5-3 feet in between each bike.  Your comfort is very important to us, so this will be the last addition of bikes.

Friday, March 15th is the final day to register to be on our Tour de Cure team for $15.  After Friday, the price goes up to $25, so join us today! 

Our FREE begin to spin class is this Sunday (3/17) at 11:15am and is nearly full!  Do you have a friend, spouse, family member, coworker who you think would love to try out our studio?  Here is the link so they can register and join the fun! 

SCS water bottles should be in for sale this week!  They are BPA free, made in America, hold 24 ounces, dishwasher safe and are insulated to keep your water icy cold! They will be offered in SCS purple or silver with our logo proudly printed on the front.  Here is a sneak peek!
