FIINAL CHANCE TO SIGN UP FOR KETTLEBELL FOUNDATIONS 1

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sing.

FOUNDATIONS 1 is where we start from the ground up, learning hot to use a kettlebell safely and correctly before we tart adding, speed, power and more complex movements.

We will cover tension, breathing and bracing, the hinge, deadlift mechanics, safe bell handling and the start of swings.

You have THREE chances to get Foundations 1 in this week.

Wednesday, September 9
5:30-7:30pm

Thursday, September 10
5:30-7:30pm

Saturday, September 12
8:30-10:30am

You only need to attend ONE of these sessions.

This is for beginners, this is for anyone who has used kettlebells but never really learned the mechanics, AND this is for my former kettlebell people who want a refresher before we start doing more with the bells again.

If you want in let me know which session you want. Cost if $50 for the two hour session.

THIS WEEK AT THE CYCLE STUDIO - Week of September 7th

I’ve got a different-looking week coming up.

No cycle Monday (holiday) or Wednesday.

Tuesday - Cycle 45 minutes - We are riding and continuing our Stronger Everywhere work.

Thursday - Cycle 45 minutes. And you know Thursdays around here. There’s always a plan and usually a little nonsense to go with it.

And this week I’m kicking off something new.

Kettlebell Foundations - Session One

You’ve got three opportunities to get your first Foundations session in.

Wednesday - 5:30-7:30pm
Thursday - 5:30-7:30pm
Saturday - 8:30-10:30am

I’m allowing the full two hours so we have plenty of time to teach, practice, coach and not rush through the technical stuff. We may be done in 90, but plan for the full two hours.

This is not about seeing how tired I can make you. It’s about learning the skills well enough that we can actually use them down the road.

So yes, fewer cycle rides this week, just because of holiday and me just being gone. But we have a lot of good stuff happening too.

Two rides. Three Foundations opportunities. One STRONG week.

See you soon.

If you know of someone who might be interested in this, please share. I have some openings in the Foundations sessions.

KETTLEBELL FOUNDATIONS IS HERE.

Current Cycle Studio riders and training clients had first access and now I’m opening up the remaining spots.

If you’ve been wanting to learn kettlebells, or get back to them, this is where we start.

FOUNDATIONS 1 - Tension+Hinge+Deadlift+Swing Prep

You have three times to choose from:

Wednesday, September 9th - 5:30-7:30PM
Thursday, September 10th - 5:30-7:30PM
Saturday, September 112th - 8:30-10:30AM

We will work through getting to the floor and back up, breathing and bracing, tension, alignment, hinge mechanic, safe bell handling, the kettlebell deadlift and the beginning progressions toward the swing.

This is not a kettlebell beat down. It’s a teaching session.
We slow it down, practice, repeat, make corrections and actually learn how to use the bell well.

I’m blocking out up to two hours so we don’t have to rush. We may finish earlier, but we will take the time we need.

New to kettlebells? Perfect.
Used kettlebells before? Also perfect.

And for my former kettlebell peeps who have been very excited about the bells coming back, I hope to see you.

Foundations 2 will build from this session into the swing, goblet squat, carries and putting the skills together.

Tuesday, September 15th - 5:30-730PM
Thursday, September 17th - 5:30-7:30PM
Saturday, September 19th - 5:30-7:30PM

Space is limited, well because my space is limited and I actually want to coach you.

If you want a spot message me with which session you want.
Cost is $50 per person, per session.

Let’s bring the bells back!

SEPTEMBER AT THE CYCLE STUDIO

September is STRONGER EVERYWHERE.

On the bike, we will keep building endurance, strength, speed, recovery and control. But this month, we are also taking some of that strength OFF the bike.

KETTLEBELLS ARE COMING… there is a lot of information packed in here so take your time reading…

Introducing: KETTLEBELL FOUNDATIONS

I’ve been playing around with the best way to do this and I think I’ve landed on something that gives us enough time to actually learn while still making it doable for real life schedules.

Foundations will be two sessions and each session will be offered twice.

You can choose Thursday evening or Saturday morning each week.

FOUNDATIONS 1 - TENSION+HINGE+DEADLIFT+ SWING PREP

Thursday, September 10, 5:30-7:30PM
OR
Saturday, September 12, 8:30-10:30AM

We will start with breathing and bracing, tension, alignment, hinge mechanics, safe bell handling and the kettlebell deadlift. Then we will begin building towards the swing.

FOUNDATIONS 2 - SWING+SQUAT+CARRY+PUT IT TOGETHER

Thursday, September 17, 5:30-7:30pm
OR
Saturday, September 19, 8:30-10:30AM

We will review what we learned in Session 1, work through the two hand swing, add the goblet squat and loaded carries and start putting the pieces together.

I’m blocking out two hours for each session because I don’t want to rush this. We may finish in 90 minutes. We may use the whole two hours. We’ll take the time we need.

And just to be clear, these are not kettlebell beat down workouts. This is where we LEARN. We will slow it down. We will practice. We will repeat. We will make corrections. And I’ll coach the s**t out of you.

Current Cycle Studio riders and current training clients get first access.

There will be a sign up sheet in the studio where you can choose which days work best for you. You can also message me and let me know. It's free for current members. Everyone else $50 per session. Space is limited.

And if kettlebells aren’t your thing, you don’t have to do them. But if you’ve never done them, how do you know? They are pretty damn fun and an incredible strength tool.

For my former kettlebell clients who got VERY excited when I said the bells were coming back, I haven’t forgotten about you either.

I will offer a refresher/skills check option so you don’t necessarily need to start completely from scratch. And if there’s room and you want the full Foundations refresher, you will have that option.

I will also keep September 24th and 26th available if we need a catch up or additional refresher opportunity.

The goal isn’t to get through a couple of workouts.
The goal is to make sure you know how to use the bell well.

Ride strong. Lift strong. Move well. Get STRONGER EVERYWHERE. More kettlebell information options will be coming soon.

THIS WEEK AT THE CYCLE STUDIO

We have one tiny piece of unfinished business before September begins…

Monday is still August. LOL

And since we spent the entire month getting Back to Basics, building our base, our strength, our speed and finally putting it all together, we are sending August out with one big Sing Along Ride. No big lesson. No complicated profile. Just 30 minutes of songs you know legs that work and probably some very questionable singing.

Then Tuesday…Welcome to Stronger Everywhere.

September is about taking everything we’ve built and continuing to get stronger. More endurance, more strength, better recovery and more capacity to handle the work.

This week’s focus:

Monday Sing Along - 30 minutes
Tuesday - Heavy Roads - 45 minutes
Wednesday - Stay Strong - 30 minutes
Thursday - Long Haul - 45 minutes - Thursday story ride is back, ridiculous story on top, very intentional training underneath.

August, we’ve got one more. September, we’re coming for you.

Stronger everywhere.

See you soon!

SEPTEMBER AT THE CYCLE STUDIO
STRONGER EVERYWHERE

August was all about getting Back to Basics.

We built the base. We built strength. We built speed. And this week, we put it all together.

So what comes next?

We keep building.

September is STRONGER EVERYWHERE.

On the bike, we'll keep working on the things that actually make us better riders. Endurance, strength, speed, recovery and the ability to move between all of them with control.

No random ass kicking just for the sake of being tired.
There's always a reason behind the ride.

But this month we're also going to start taking some of that strength OFF the bike.

Yep.

Kettlebells are coming to The Cycle Studio.

We'll be introducing a three-part Kettlebell Foundations Series in September where we'll slow things down, learn the skills and actually understand how to use the things before we start throwing them into workouts.

And maybe all of this is leading somewhere.

September isn't about doing more just to do more.
It's about becoming more capable.

Ride strong. Lift strong. Move well. Get STRONGER EVERYWHERE.

See you soon.

Kettlebellchick is coming out of retirement.

I used to live and breathe kettlebells, and after a long hiatus, I’m dusting them off and bringing them back into the studio.

Apparently Kettlebellchick still lives. LOL

Some of you may not know this, but long before Coach Pegz, my IG handle was literally .

And apparently she’s making a comeback. I have been given a very exciting opportunity. (More on that later).

I’m going to be offering a few Saturday Kettlebell Basics sessions where we’ll slow things down, learn the fundamentals, practice technique and actually learn how to use a kettlebell well.

This is NOT a beatdown workout.

We will work on things like the hinge, deadlift, squat, swing, carry and other basic kettlebell skills so you can feel confident using them in your training.

Current cycling and training clients get first choice of spots AND these sessions are on me.

Everyone else - $50 per session.

Space will be limited because I want to actually coach you, not have 20 people swinging kettlebells while I yell from across the room.

Dates and times coming soon.
Kettlebellchick 2.0. I think I’m kinda excited about this.

And yes, eventually this may lead to some very fun Bike + Bell things.
