4 Reasons To Join CycleBar
Grade Jones

CycleBar is a low impact, high intensity work out which makes it appropriate for individuals of all ages. CycleBar provides very energetic and exciting cycling workouts. CycleBar is a rhythm-based musical workout, that is also a great full-body workout! I have been a member of the CycleBar at The Fritz Farm in Lexington, Kentucky for about 6 months now and it is the best decision I have ever made! I have not only accomplished so many goals already but I have made so many new friends along the way!

The Cyclestars (the staff) are so helpful.

I remember the first time I walked through the doors, I felt scared and I felt nervous because I didn't know what to expect. I had never cycled before and I didn't really know anything about it! From the second I walked into the doors I felt welcomed. I remember the woman at the desk was so excited to see me and already knew my name which settled my nerves and made me feel so welcomed. She walked me through every step of the process from finding the right size in the cycling shoes to teaching me how to clip into the bike and was always ready to answer any questions I had! I knew from my first ride that I needed to come back.

The Cyclestars want you to succeed.

From the very first class, I was asked to create a goal for myself whether that was getting above a certain place in a class, burning a certain amount of calories, or generating so much power. I set a goal to one day be at least 11th in a class which typically has about 25 people in it. At the start of every class, they ask you to remember your goal and they continue to push you throughout the class by cheering you on individually or by just telling the class motivational quotes to keep us motivated. I knew that they wanted me to succeed and they celebrated me when I did succeed!

Not only does CycleBar improve your physical health but it improves your mental health as well.

During every class, one song is for you as an individual to reflect on why you are there, to reflect on your goals, and just to reflect on your life in general. This is a time when you put your physical goals aside and just focus on the inner you and how you feel. The Cyclestars always have a motivational message to share and always give you motivational quotes to live by. One of the quotes I will always remember is "Feel the fear, and do it anyway". I love this quote because I can apply it to every aspect of my life and it is exactly what I did when I joined. I can always count on CycleBar to turn my day around when I am having a bad day.

It improves your physical health.

When I joined CycleBar, I had no intention of joining just to lose weight, I just wanted to feel better and be more confident in my own skin. Not only have a lost a few extra pounds but I have never felt better physically. I am not groggy when I wake up in the mornings, I am always ready to start my day on a positive foot. I no longer get headaches that I used to suffer from and I have gained so much muscle not only in my legs but in my upper body as well.


Although these are the reasons I joined, I hope they inspire you to join too! Your first ride at CycleBar is always free, so I invite you to go to their website or social media pages and sign up for a ride! I promise you will not regret your decision!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
