Spin bikes a welcome return to Gaudet Fitness Solutions!

Just for the Health of It

With Coach Shelley Gaudet

Why are Spin Classes so popular?

At GFS this past month we excitedly brought Spin Bikes back into the studio. We used to have a large number before Covid which we sold or rented out to our ladies when everything was shut down so they could continue to get their sweat on during a time when people were doing everything but! Since reopening we have all loved being back in the studio but have missed our spin classes! And they are baccccccck!

They have been very welcome back at the gym because number one, Spin classes are super fun. Who does not automatically start dancing when a good song comes on their favourite play list? Who does not want to turn their music up loud and belt out their best song on sunny day with the windows down? Now marry this feeling with a good sweaty workout and you are guaranteed to leave class on top of the world!

So on top of being SUPER FUN, spin classes are beneficial for the following reasons:

*A great way to burn a ton of calories in a single workout session

*Low impact, great for anyone with joint pain or restrictions

*Adaptable as you control the resistance, making the workout as easy or as hard as needed thus allowing beginner to advanced athletes to be challenged within the same class

*A full body workout, from adding resistance to your pedaling to doing push ups on the bike you work your whole body head to toe!

*A great way to meet other likeminded people who love to work out!

*A great way to increase your cardiovascular fitness which in turn helps prevent heart diseases

At GFS we still have a number of ladies who are still enjoying working out from the comfort of their home So, in order to not leave them out, in many of our classes (Spintervals, Pedal N Punch, Pump UPPER), we offer cardio exercises for them to complete in absence of the bike. OR, if she has an elliptical at home, you can mimic all of the levels & moves from the spin bike on it!

Come try a class at GFS and find out what the fuss is all about with SPIN If you are already in love with Spin and your Peloton or Echeleon app at home, why not join us ONCE a week to get out of the house and step your spin game up to the next level when amongst new and old friends.

DID YOU KNOW?

Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) has partnered with Rocket Doctor to trial a new service giving patients an alternative option to the Emergency Department (ED) for nonemergencies while still providing access to appropriate health services. If you need non-emergency medical care, alternative health care options to the ED are available, such as using Rocket Doctor’s virtual same-day appointment services. BCHS’s Emergency department (ED) experiences overwhelming patient volumes during the winter months due to cold and flu season.
