Transition from Working Out to Training with Psyclewrx
He's back! Personal Trainer Doug Rusho's super-popular Psyclewrx cycling program makes its triumphant return to the club beginning this Saturday. Doug's taking over the blog today to let you know why you need (yes, need) to enroll in this program. It's 2012 and the perfect time to try something new. Take it away, Doug!
Are you looking for that spark of inspiration? Are you tired of not really knowing if the time you spend at Midtown is changing your fitness or performance level? If so, it's time to stop “working out” and begin training instead. Psyclewrx allows you to make a commitment to a long-term, goal-oriented, indoor cycling program. With a well-tested and proven plan, focused direction, individualized training metrics, and most importantly, tangible results, Psyclewrx allows you to improve your fitness level over the course of a session.
This year, Psyclewrx is being offered in three, five-week sessions on Saturdays, at 12:45pm. Each five-week block will build upon the previous block, allowing the body to safely adapt and progress to greater fitness. Each block is separated by two weeks of recovery or individual training. Do not think for a second that Psyclewrx is too intense. We train with Power and as a result, you will work at an intensity appropriate for your current fitness level. As long as you can complete a regular one-hour indoor cycle class, you are an athlete ready to be made. Psyclewrx will also entertain you, making the time fly by. Just look at your Coach. Anybody willing to go out in public in this get-up, will have to offer some fantastic music and creative drills and profiles.
Did I mention results? The average rate of improvement for Psyclewrx graduates is 15%! This is not just “talk” of improvement; these are actual numbers you will see and feel. The first session begins Saturday, January 7th, and runs through February 11th. The cost is $100, and you can secure your spot by calling the front desk). This session will focus on Foundation Endurance. Classes are 60-90 minutes long at low-to-moderate effort levels. We will take a “bi-week” on Feb. 4th for participation in the “Cycle for Hope” charity event. I was recently certified by Stages Indoor Cycling and will also be offering a complimentary bike set up service called LaserFit™ (yes we will be using a laser!) on Saturday, January 28th from 8:30-11:30am. We are trying to decide if we should administer this on a walk-in basis or via sign-ups. What do you think? For more information on the Psyclewrx program please see the display outside the Cycle Room and take a brochure, or contact me directly at 461-2301 ext. 261. You can also check out my blog journal of last fall's program. Already heard enough? Call the front desk and sign up. There are just a few spots left. Hope to see you there!
