Top 10 Reasons why you Spin at SCS

We hear day after day, how much you all love SCS and we love you right back!  Most of you found us either through a friend, coworker, neighbor, or family member recommendation.  Some of you found us because the place where you had been indoor cycling, just wasn't cutting it.  The Saratoga Cycling Studio is family run and operated, and we treat each client like family.  This is truly our dream come true and we strive to bring you a smile and great workout everyday.  Thank YOU for your hard work, dedication, and loyalty to SCS.


10. It is CLEAN!  No overflowing garbage bins, no towels on the floor, the bathroom is always spotless.
9. 12 hour cancellation policy, not 24 hours.  Who the heck knows what we will be doing an entire day from now?!
8. ALL of the NXT bikes are in perfect, working order ALL of the time and they are TOP of the line.
7. It is YOUR ride!  We encourage going at your own pace and using as much or as little resistance as you would like.  No one will single you out and scream in your face like a drill sergeant.

6. You can SHARE our 10, 25, or 50 pack of classes with whomever you want!  Our prices are the lowest in the area.

5. Our clients are 100% injury FREE thanks to following the Spinning guidelines 100% of the time.  NO push-ups on the bike, NO pedaling at 1000 rpm's with no resistance, NO nonsense, just hard work and FUN!

4. Real results!  Using the official Spinning energy zones (endurance, strength, interval, recovery, race day), we are able to give you a workout that will change your fitness, health, and body!  You are pedaling with purpose, not fluff!

3. Instructors hold an official Spinning certification (and CPR), not one we made up ourselves.  We also participate in Spinning continuing education to bring you the best rides we can.

2. Did we mention the 3 fans and exhaust fan that keep it cool and comfortable while you work up a sweat?

1. It is where everybody knows your name!  You are not just a face in a crowd, you are family.

Happy Spinning!

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!
