LEVEL: Intermediate to Expert

YOUR WORKOUT: Circuit training is a workout style where we move through a series of exercises—usually 6 to 10—in a specific order, hitting different muscle groups with minimal rest between them, like a loop or “circuit.” Think of it as a high-energy relay: we might do push-ups, squats, burpees, and lunges, spending 30-60 seconds on each, then resting briefly (30-90 seconds) before restarting the loop, often for 2-3 rounds. This makes it efficient for burning calories and building endurance in one go—about 200-300 calories in 30 minutes, depending on your intensity.


We do "bodyweight" training for our circuits. We string together exercises that target different muscle groups using your own body as resistance, like push-ups (chest, shoulders), squats (legs), planks (core), burpees (full body), and mountain climbers (cardio). Our typical circuit might be 5-8 moves, each for 30-60 seconds, with 15-30 seconds rest between, repeated for 2-3 rounds.


• A positive & friendly attitude.

• Your best effort and ability.

• No solititation of unauthorized services or products.

Black Folk™ Ride

Despite the numerous benefits of cycling, Black people in the United States are underrepresented in the cycling community. Various factors contribute to this disparity, including socioeconomic barriers, cultural perceptions, and infrastructural challenges.


One of the primary barriers to cycling in the Black community is the economic disparity. Quality bicycles and cycling gear can be expensive, and maintaining a bike also incurs costs. For many Black families, these expenses may not be feasible, especially when weighed against other financial priorities. Additionally, Black neighborhoods often have less access to safe cycling infrastructure, such as bike lanes and secure bike parking, which can deter individuals from taking up cycling.


Cultural perceptions and historical context also play significant roles. In some Black communities, cycling may not be seen as a practical or prestigious mode of transportation compared to cars. There's also a historical context where systemic racism and segregation limited access to resources and opportunities, including safe recreational spaces for activities like cycling.


Infrastructural issues are another significant barrier. Many predominantly Black neighborhoods lack adequate cycling infrastructure. The absence of bike lanes, poorly maintained roads, and a lack of bike-sharing programs in these areas contribute to safety concerns that deter many from cycling. Additionally, higher rates of policing in Black communities can make cycling a fraught activity, with Black cyclists more likely to be stopped and fined than their white counterparts.


Cycling offers numerous benefits that can positively impact the Black community. Here are some key advantages:

1. Health Benefits: Regular cycling improves cardiovascular health, reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and helps in maintaining a healthy weight. Given the higher rates of these conditions in the Black community, promoting cycling can lead to significant health improvements.

2. Economic Benefits: Cycling is a cost-effective mode of transportation. It eliminates expenses associated with car ownership, such as fuel, maintenance, insurance, and parking fees. For those without access to a car, cycling can provide reliable and affordable mobility, enhancing access to employment, education, and other essential services.

3. Environmental Benefits: Increased cycling reduces carbon emissions and traffic congestion, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. Promoting cycling in Black communities aligns with broader efforts to combat climate change and promote environmental justice.

4. Community and Social Benefits: Cycling can foster a sense of community and social cohesion. Group rides and cycling events can bring people together, strengthening community ties and promoting a positive, active lifestyle. It also provides opportunities for community advocacy around better infrastructure and safer streets.

5. Mental Health Benefits: Physical activity, including cycling, is known to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The mental health benefits of cycling are particularly important given the higher rates of stress and trauma experienced by many in the Black community due to systemic racism and socio-economic challenges.


Addressing the barriers that prevent Black people from cycling requires a multifaceted approach. This includes investing in better infrastructure, making cycling more affordable, and promoting the cultural and health benefits of cycling within the Black community. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive cycling culture that benefits everyone, enhancing health, mobility, and quality of life for Black individuals and communities.

HIIT @ Home cardio class

High-intensity interval training, better known as HIIT, consists of short bursts of intense work that typically last between 15 seconds to 4 minutes. These are followed by a quick recovery period and then right back to the tough work.

HIIT and other high-intensity exercise programs help you burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time. Research has also showed that you keep burning calories for hours after your workout is finished. These workouts typically cause you to burn more fat and build muscle. Studies have also showed that high-intensity workouts may help lower blood pressure and heart rate.

No Equipment Needed

• iPad/Smartphone
• Water bottle

• Sweat towel
• Yoga mat (optional)

What is expected of me?
remove
add

LEVEL: Beginners, Intermediate and Experts

YOUR WORKOUT: High-Intensity Interval Training is all about short, super-intense bursts of exercise followed by quick rest periods, designed to torch calories and boost fitness fast. Think 20-40 seconds of all-out effort—like burpees, sprints, or mountain climbers—then 10-20 seconds of rest or light movement, repeated for 20-30 minutes total. It’s a mix of strength and cardio that spikes your heart rate to 80-95% of its max, making it super efficient—studies say you can burn 200-300 calories in a session while building endurance. It’s also scalable to your level, and since it’s bodyweight-friendly, you just need space and energy.


1. Full Participation: I expect you to give your best effort during each interval—typically 20-40 seconds of all-out effort followed by 10-20 seconds of rest or low-intensity movement. Push yourself, but listen to your body. If it’s your first time, start at 70-80% intensity and build up.

2. Proper Form: Focus on technique to avoid injury. For moves like burpees or squats, keep your back straight and knees aligned—watch me on screen and mimic my form. If you’re unsure, pause and ask in the chat; I’ll adjust or demo again.

3. Camera On (When Possible): Turn your camera on so I can check your form and energy. If privacy’s an issue, that’s cool—just let me know, and we’ll work around it. Audio on is great too, so I can hear your effort or questions.

4. Preparedness: Have a clear space, water, and a towel ready. Wear supportive shoes and clothes you can move in. No gear is needed.

5. Engagement: Interact with me and the group—drop a “yes” in chat when you’re ready, cheer each other on, or flag if you need a break. This keeps the vibe alive since we’re virtual.

6. Rest When Needed: HIIT is intense, so if you feel dizzy or wiped, take a 30-second breather. Signal me (wave or chat), and I’ll guide you back in. Safety trumps everything.

7. Consistency: Aim to join regularly—say, twice a week—to see results. Track your progress (e.g., reps or stamina) and share it in our weekly check-ins if you’re in my personal training program.


• A positive & friendly attitude.

• Your best effort and ability.

Spin w/Shan online cycle

Spinning is the best way to increase energy consumption and increase heart rate. In addition, it is very suitable for burning calories, so it can reduce weight. Dopamine and serotonin are released during a spin session, helping you to feel happier, less stressed and more motivated for your day. Spinning is an incredible way to boost mood, overall energy levels and deepen your sleep, helping you to show up more powerfully in all aspects of your life. Expert research shows that 50 minutes of spinning is enough to burn up to 700 types of fat and calories.

Equipment Needed

• iPad/Smartphone
• Spin cycle bike
• Water bottle

• Sweat towel

30 Minutes

Our spin session is 30-minutes solid. There's always the talk before and after so it may go for 45 minutes on some days.

What is expected of me?
remove
add

LEVEL: Beginners and Intermediates

YOUR WORKOUT: Spinning is a killer cardio workout that cranks your heart rate to 80-95% of its max, torching 300-500 calories depending on effort, while strengthening your legs and endurance. I’ll lead with music and cues to keep the rhythm, and it’s adjustable to your level, so whether you’re a beginner or not, you’ll feel the burn.


1. Full Participation: I expect you to give your all during each interval—typically 30-60 seconds of high-resistance pedaling or sprints, followed by 15-30 seconds of recovery at low resistance. Push your pace, but listen to your body—start at 70-80% if you’re new and build from there.

2. Proper Form: Keep your posture solid—back straight, hands light on the bars, and knees aligned over pedals. Watch me on screen to match my cues, and if you’re unsure, pause and ask in chat; I’ll adjust or demo again to keep you safe.

3. Camera On (When Possible): Turn your camera on so I can check your form and rhythm. If privacy’s a concern, no worries—just let me know, and we’ll adapt. Unmuted helps me hear your effort or questions too.

4. Preparedness: Set up your bike in a clear space, have water and a towel handy, and wear padded shorts or comfy gear. Ensure your bike’s calibrated—adjust resistance per my callouts—and test your setup before we start.

5. Engagement: Join the vibe—drop a “ready” in chat when we kick off, cheer each other on, or flag me if you need a break. This keeps our virtual crew connected and pumped.

6. Rest When Needed: Spin’s intense, so if you feel dizzy or fatigued, ease off for 30 seconds. Wave or chat me, and I’ll guide you back in—safety’s the priority.

7. Consistency: Aim to join every single week to see results. Track your progress (e.g., distance or resistance levels) and share it in our weekly check-ins if you’re in my personal training program.

You agree that you are voluntarily participating in the aforementioned activities and assume all risk of injury, illness, damage, or loss to you or your property that might result, including, without limitation, any loss or theft of any personal property, whether arising out of the negligence of Trainer or otherwise.


RELEASE: You agree on behalf of yourself (and all your personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, agents, and assigns) to release and discharge Trainer (and Trainer’s affiliates, related entities, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns) from any and all claims or causes of action (known or unknown) arising out of the negligence of Trainer, whether active or passive, or any of Trainer’s affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns.


This waiver and release of liability includes, without limitation, injuries which may occur as a result of (a) your use of any exercise equipment or facilities which may malfunction or break, (b) improper maintenance of any exercise equipment, premises or facilities, (c) negligent instruction or supervision, including personal training, (d) negligent hiring or retention of employees, and/or (e) slipping or tripping and falling while on any portion of a premises or while traveling to or from personal training, including injuries resulting from Trainer’s or anyone else’s negligent inspection or maintenance of the facility or premises.


INDEMNIFICATION: By execution of this agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Trainer from any loss, liability, damage, or cost Trainer may incur due to the provision of personal training by Trainer to you.
