2008 Fall Boot Camp

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:39:07 +0000

During the Month of November and December S4L hosted its first quarterly Spin/Boot Camp! The Camp consisted of 45 minutes of intense Spinning coupled with 45 minutes of a 9 station Boot Camp regiment. Water Service, a Free Spin4Life Towel, and Breakfast was provided to all. We had a total of 24 participants in all, that gave maximum efforts and did everything that was asked of them. We had different levels of fitness but in the end, everyone felt they got a major boost to their end of year training regiment.

Thanks to Ed Cooper (Physical Educator), Hector Leija and all the participants that made the Holiday Boot camp a success. We look forward to adding more “value add” events such as the Holiday Boot Camp in the near future!

I am a fanatical spinner and attend various classes around Dallas 4-6 times per week. I will also walk out if instructors do not present a challenging class or if the equipment is sub-standard. Thankfully, this does not happen at S4L Studios.

The equipment is new and well maintained (30+ bikes all with clips for bike shoes), the spin room is spacious as well as immaculate, the music is modern, the spin crowd very friendly (but aren’t all spinners?) and the instructors I have worked with – Keith and Tawana – are excellent!

The $140 for 20 sessions package is a good value for someone like me who takes classes at several places. (I think it is $10 per session if you buy individually.) There are plenty of classes 6 days per week, so I can always find one that fits into my schedule.

The only negatives (and they are minor) are that they do not have a towel service (they do sell them on-site) and there are no Sunday classes. (If there is a Sunday class somewhere in Dallas, someone please let me know.)

Highly recommended for all levels of experience.

Spin Technique

admin — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 21:57:56 +0000

Spin class should be safe and fun for everyone. It should also be an awesome workout so here are a few techniques to make sure you are getting the most out of your spin experience:

1) Wear appropriate clothing including things like padded bicycle shorts and a shirt that helps absorb perspiration and keep you dry during your workout.

2) Keep the balls of your feet on the pedals at all times. This technique will help you pedal more efficiently and will make it less likely that your feet will slip off.

3) Don’t worry about competing with others. Rather, compete yourself and spin at a rate that is appropriate for you. Not everyone is at the same level in class, you are your only real competition so pedal against you!

4) Wear a heart monitor and know how to focus on a heart rate that is appropriate for you, your age and fitness level. Don’t push yourself too hard but don’t use it as an excuse for not pushing yourself. Know your heart rate levels where to be for an effective workout.

5) Mix up your routine.

Most importantly, don’t try to incorporate all of this at once, but rather add one thing at a time and stick with in. Inside a couple months of regular spinning you’ll be amazed at your progress!
