Welcome to Texas, Flywheel!

North Texas has a new fitness boutique in town!

Flywheel Sports, the innovative indoor cycling brand, first arrived in Texas in 2012 with the opening of a Highland Park location and expanded in January 2013 with a second Dallas-area location in Plano.

Flywheel is a high-energy, calorie burning indoor stadium cycling exercise experience that lasts 45 or 60 minutes with climbs, descents and upper-body work with a weighted bar.

I attended the media preview of their new class, FlyBarre, yesterday morning.

Kara Liotta, Co-Director of FlyBarre at Flywheel

Plano is the first Texas location to implement FlyBarre, a total body sculpting class that offers a blend of dance, light weight training and core strengthening exercises. Using small intense interval exercises choreographed to contemporary and inspiring music, FlyBarre quickly reshapes the body for lean, strong, and elongated muscles.

“Are you coming to pulse with me?!”, Kara Liotta, Co-Director of FlyBarre at Flywheel enthusiastically said to me as I walked into the studio. Increased cardio and pulsating movements are what make the FlyBarre class at Flywheel so unique…and the result is a much more effective workout. Liotta really put us to the test as our instructor yesterday and I am feeling it! OUCH! 🙂

FlyBarre was a challenge but it was great fun! Now I am ready to try the cycling. I’m starting my birthday off right in the Flywheel class on Thursday at 8:30 am! Come on out! It’s going to be fun! After sweating like crazy, hit the fabulous Flywheel showers featuring Bliss products. Oooh-la-la!
