A Revolutionary Cycling Experience is Coming to Midtown Palatine
In just a few short weeks, the new cycle studio will open, and once you walk inside, it will become immediately apparent that our cycling experience is like nothing you've ever seen before.
The studio will feature 44 Matrix IC7 cycling bikes, the world's leading indoor cycling bike, and the most advanced indoor cycle bike ever designed. Its Coach By Color training console's display lights up in one of five colored zones, which matches your power reading or heart rate output, so you know immediately if you need to adjust your effort.
This console is very similar to MYZONE, which we've been using in the club for over six months. The colors on the console are the same as those used with MYZONE.
MYZONE is also part of the new studio, of course, as two of the four screens in the studio are devoted to it.
The other two screens are for MyRide, which allows for virtual ride programming to fit your schedule.
The architecture of the new cycle studio will feature elevated, stadium-style platforms for the bikes, RGB lights around the base of the stairs, which will match the lights in room, and a light curtain behind the instructor for programmable light shows.
The studio will have Apple TV built in, so all the advanced technology featured throughout the space can be controlled with ease.
We've also put careful consideration into the artwork in the new studio. The back wall will feature a wallpaper photograph of Chicago's iconic Wells Street Bridge.
The new studio will provide you with a boutique cycling experience that utilizes state-of-the-art technology to ensure that your workout is not only fun, but also extremely effective and results-based.
To have an idea of what our new cycle studio will look like, check out the studio built in the Midtown club in Montreal recently.
Our kickoff event will take place on Saturday, July 16. Open to both members and guests, we'll have a ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by a fun class schedule featuring special guests and celebrity instructors, fun and competitive races, and tutorials on the Matrix bikes and MyRide.
We'll end the day with a poolside social.
Then, from Saturday, July 16 through Friday, July 22, we'll celebrate Cycling Week at the club.
The best is yet to come, and we can't wait to get in the studio and start riding.
We hope you're as excited as we are.
