[Updated Jan 3, 2011]
I have some glorious news for your heart and hamstrings. After a great summer and winter of teaching indoor cycling (spinning) classes at the UBC Birdcoop (map), I’m staying on for the spring! If you’ve ever wanted to try out a spin class but were too intimidated, wanted to incorporate cycling into your cross-training schedule, or just wanted to have some fun on the bike while getting an awesome workout – now’s your chance!
I will be teaching the following classes:
- Monday: 5:00-5:45 pm
These 45-minute work-outs are high energy and designed to the music to help you stay motivated and smiling the whole way through. They’re a great work-out for your cardiovascular system, core, upper and lower body. Best of all, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and recharged for the rest of your day.
More details about drop-in and membership pricing is available at the UBC Birdcoop website.
New to indoor cycling? Some helpful tips:
- Bring a small towel and a water bottle with you into class
- Wear comfortable work-out clothes and stiff-soled athletic shoes (bike shorts and shoes are not necessary for these classes)
- Arrive 15-30 minutes before class to sign-in, get on a bike, and lightly pedal to warm before the fun begins
- Be ready to sweat and smile – I guarantee both
Hope to see you in the saddle soon!

I thought you’d enjoy that lil ditty! I’ll be there all summer for sure, but may move/add locations in the fall. I’ll keep you posted for sure.
