CORNWALL, Ontario – Erica Bryan took spinning to a whole new level this Saturday, March 24 by raising funds for the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation.
One of the most intense workouts available, spinning is an exercise that involves a special kind of indoor cycling machine which is able to modify the difficulty of pedaling and simulate the inertia of an outdoor bicycle.
However, unlike an outdoor bike, the indoor machine has no freewheel, which means that the user cannot coast and in turn adds to the intensity of the workout.
As usual Erica’s Spinning Studio moved to their fast-paced music under their blacklight bulbs elevating the high energy environment all while the spinners shook the ground with their explosive routine.
“Everybody should spin! It’s a great stress reliever and excellent for heart health,” explains Erica Bryan between their five-minute break.
The studio expected to raise more than 3000 $ to donate to the emergency room, fetal heart rate monitors, and bedside cardiac monitors.
In the last two years, the studio raised funds for the Mental Health and Addictions building.
“It’s a good workout and a good cause,” said Sara Summers, who has been spinning for close to a year.
Erica’s Spinning Studio that is located within the Summit Health and Fitness Club has a five-star rating on Facebook and has been featured on Community Matters.
“I am fortunate enough to wake up every day and come to work to do what I love; it feels good to give back!” said Erica Bryan.
The class ended up having 18 riders on Saturday, and another 14 were expected to show up on Sunday.
