As professional triathletes, we are freakishly dialed-in to our training and nutrition approach. We plan every minute of our days so that we can fit up to three workouts, plus recovery, into 24 hours. We eat the same thing before all of our tough workouts. We snack on homemade energy bars, and we refuel with nutrient-dense Power Bowls. This goes on throughout our season, which stretches from March to early December. Insert Thanksgiving, the holiday that prides itself on inducing food comas. Continue Reading
When Flywheel Florida instructor Dahlia Abadir is not on the bike leading her pack of strong, dedicated riders, she’s taking on a different kind of lead as Senior Regional Sales Manager for Tesla Motors. “The high demand of my industry allows me to encourage my riders to disconnect from the outside noise of work or home and get in the zone.” But as any Flyer knows, one must fuel properly in order to reach that level of focus at the office or on the bike. Read on to find out what keeps this instructor’s engine running strong, all day long. Continue Reading
Amy Sterner Nelson of Seattle and Jenny Timpani of Sunnyvale both turned to Flywheel at pivotal points in their lives. For Amy, it was wedding preparation that first drew her to our Seattle studio and, since then, she credits the workout for keeping her fit and healthy through throughout her first pregnancy (she’s currently expecting baby number two!). And after not working out for over a year, Jenny knew she needed to face reality and rediscover her motivation to get healthy.

From turning up the Torq at Flywheel to hitting the mat at FlyBarre, we often pay extra attention to our muscles and joints, but overlook one very important area – our feet. Turns out, we vastly underestimate the TLC they need.
Given that our FLYers put in a lot of hard work, we turned to Camila Pierotti, Brazilian Beauty Ambassador for Sol de Janeiro and Jacob Neely, Professional Triathlete and NASM-certified personal trainer, for their best achy feet fixes. Read on to see why doing some sole searching can leave you stronger, injury-free, and a lot more comfortable.
Picture this: IKEA. Saturday afternoon. 2PM. A couple that hasn’t eaten since breakfast, arguing about coffee tables. While there’s no scientific proof that low blood sugar is to blame for fighting over furniture, we believe that it might be a prime culprit. And hey, we’ve all been there: A shaky, lightheaded, emotional, brain-fogged mess.
To help you avoid the dreaded blood sugar crash that can muddle your mood and zap energy for your workouts, here are our best tips for keeping things steady all day long. BY C&J NUTRITION Continue Reading
The 28 Days To Fit Challenge is about more than taking a 45-minute class and following a nutrition plan. It’s about developing a newfound, healthy overall lifestyle that’ll last way beyond these four weeks. From taking time to go for a walk in the middle of the workday, or stretching before and after workouts, it’s important to make changes that’ll stick. And it doesn’t have to be difficult.
We tapped into two of our instructor coaches – Donna Cennamano of Flywheel Chicago and Lauren Mavica of FlyBarre Florida – for advice on staying active, and why they practice what they preach. Plus, check out C&J Nutrition’s top tips for keeping your metabolism humming.

Energizing. Invigorating. Blissful. We’re not just referring to the magical 45 minutes of class. As any rider knows, that amazing lemony-sage scent that drifts through Flywheel shower stalls is quite the pick-me-up. Since 2010, bliss spa products have been a staple at all Flywheel locations, keeping us feeling FLY after every sweat-soaked class.
But as the colder months approach, many avid exercisers become concerned about the effects of low temperatures and biting winds on their skin (talk about a sweat session buzz kill!). So, we asked Edwin Batista, Global Director of Education at bliss spa to share insights on how to make sure your skin has a post-class glow.
