Happy Monday RedPack,



We hope you had a great weekend! If you were out on the town Saturday, you may have bumped into our RedBike-themed Bus (see above). Check out this Link to see the fun and hilarity that ensued when our instructors teamed up with other proud members of the #RedPack and a live DJ and hit the streets of MIA!

If you weren't out on the town, then we hope you stopped by the studio to take a class or two. We know Team Steph was out in full force garnering the team two victories in two weeks as Red Madness passes the half way point. Impressively, Linda Yun moved into the outright individual lead with 15 rides in the last two weeks! Remember, we have until the NCAA Championship Game on Monday, April 4th, so get off the couch and get riding!

And if you needed even more motivation, Themed Thursday's triple lineup boasts the biggest stars in hip hop, pop, and EDM, as music's greatest power couples collide. Jumpstart the night with Beyonce & Jay-Z who were actually eclipsed on Forbes last year by Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris. And with rumors swirling of a romantic reunion, Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber may yet join the ranks of this power couple upper echelon.

(3/31) Thursday 5:30PM Beyonce vs. Jay-Z with Mari

(3/31) Thursday 6:30PM Selena Gomez vs. Justin Beiber with Steph

(3/31) Thursday 7:30PM Taylor Swift vs. Calvin Harris with Adam

Have a great week! Hope to see you in the saddle!

As the dust settles on the Ultra stage and the last rays of sun fade from all the chic hotel pool parties, life in Miami regains a sense of normalcy; and as we rejoin the rest of the country in celebrating March Madness, Red Madness is heating up!

Team Steph is out to a week 1 lead with Team America (not the country) close behind, and there's a two-way tie for top rider between Linda Yun & Vanessa Izquierdo, who have each gone 8 times since Monday.

And now that you mention the studio, this week's Themed Thursday comes at you hot and sexy as we track the musical evolutions of two of America's hottest pop and R&B princesses. First, join us as Steph brings you the best of Britney from her late 90s teen pop heyday to her dance-music transformation of today. Then join Adam as he brings you Rihanna from her R&B-Caribbean musical roots to todays edgier, EDM-influenced anthems and collaborations!

Ultra Music Festival is touching down in Miami once again. As hundreds of world-renowned DJ's gather together for the three-day extravaganza, instructor Adam gives us the low down on why it's his favorite event of all time, which shows are not to miss, what DJ's he likes best, and how Ultra inspires his teaching style and music selections. Read ahead! :


1. What makes Ultra your favorite time of the year in Miami?

There is a different buzz, a heightened sense of electricity all around Miami during Miami Music Week and specifically Ultra weekend. People travel here from around the world to be a part of this week. Ultra Music Festival is widely known as one of the top music festivals in the world, and to have it in my backyard (literally) is amazing.




2. Give us the 411 on how to get the most out of Ultra weekend?

The key to Ultra weekend is to remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. You want to make sure you've got a plan of which artists you want to see, what time they play and at what stage. Staying organized makes everything easier which is why I recommend downloading the Ultra 2016 app so that you have all that information right at your fingertips. I've gone to Ultra all three days a few times, and I've learned that in order to make it all the way to those grand finale fireworks you must hydrate, wear some comfy shoes and make sure to get plenty of rest.




3. What are some must see shows? Any personal favorite DJ's?

There are many different genres of Electronic Dance Music. Every stage at Ultra usually highlights a specific genre depending on the day. With that being said my top 3 suggestions for this year (in no particular order) are Martin Garrix at Mainstage on Friday, Carl Cox at the Carl Cox and Friends stage also on Friday and then finish the weekend with a huge treat of Deadmau5, Eric Prydz and Armin van Buuren back-to-back-to-back at A State of Trance stage Sunday night. Some of my favorite DJs to see at a festival are Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Tiesto, Afrojack and Hardwell.




4. How does Ultra inspire your style of teaching at Redbike?

I don't think this comes as a surprise to the RedPack that I love playing a lot of upbeat and banging songs that explode through the speakers, especially during my huge sprints. I always remind students to lose themselves for 45 minutes and just be happy about the hard work they are putting in and to remember to have fun and dance around sometimes. The added bonus are the colored strobe lights and I try my best to put on a show for everyone to make the spinning experience more like a party or a festival than a workout.



5. What Ultra inspired songs are currently playing on your Spotify?

Eric Prydz- The Matrix
Martin Garrix- Now That I've Found You
Hardwell- Run Wild
Afrojack- Hollywood
Ben Gold- I'm in A State of Trance (ASOT 750 Anthem)

If you can't make it to Ultra Music Festival, make sure to check out a class with Adam by booking a class today. He'll be sure to bring some Ultra inspiration back to Redbike!

Claire stumbled upon Redbike because of proximity and convenience. What she didn't know was that classes would transform her life in ways she never imagined possible. From prepping for marathons, to helping her fit into a designer dress she always dreamed about, Claire shares her experience and Redbike success journey:

Redbike is a great way to get fit because it's a tough workout that is really fun! I first found out about Redbike because I lived near the Brickell studio. I decided to give it a try because I love staying active. Running has always been my main workout, but I thought that Redbike spinning might be a good way to cross-train and build strength on my non-running days. I was right!

Redbike’s workouts are great for runners because they include 45 minutes of cardio while also working all the major muscle groups. Pedaling with heavy resistance really helped build up my calves and quads. The classes also include an arm workout, so my shoulders and biceps are looking better than ever! I’ve run long-distance races before, and am currently training for another half marathon. Thanks to Redbike, I’m sure this will be my fittest race yet.

Although I joined because I wanted to get stronger, I have lost weight since becoming a member of the Red Pack. I recently bought a new dress from one of my favorite designers in a size I hadn’t been able to wear since college. It’s amazing to see so much progress when the workouts feel more like a party. The instructors are friendly and encouraging, the playlists are upbeat and creative, and the studio’s club lights complete the experience. I would recommend Redbike to anyone who is looking for a fun way to achieve his or her fitness goals. Give it a try, you’ll be glad you did!

From rider to rockstar instructor, Gabi shares why she became an instructor, her favorite moments at Redbike, what motivates her, and why she's making the journey over to the Big Apple.

1) Why are you moving to NYC and what are you most excited about?

​I am moving for an exciting new job! I'm most excited to explore the city and eat all the amazing food, and hopefully find a place half as good as Redbike to teach spin!



2) What first brought you to Redbike?

The day I arrived in Miami, finding the right spin studio was first on my to-do list. What kept me coming back was the Redbike experience--the amazing instructors, keeping the workout fun and challenging, and the wonderful sense of community there.​



3) What made you want to become an instructor?

​I've always loved spin and was just itching to share that passion I feel on the bike with others​. I've gotten to be creative making playlists and choreography, while seeing my students push themselves and grow!



4) What are some of your favorite moments from teaching at Redbike?

Co-teaching the Beyonce vs Rihanna class with Steph was so much fun. We worked hard to make the best playlist and had an amazing time with everyone in the class!​



5) What are your daily motivation/inspirational mantras?
​
If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.​



6) You'll come back to Miami as a guest instructor, right?
