In December 2013 Pelotone, a state-of-the-art, 55 bike indoor cycling studio geared for cyclists will open its doors in Lexington Drive in the Norwest Business Park.
The studio follows a trend in in cycling gyms that started in the US and is fast gaining traction in Australia.
Pelotone director, Karen Newham who lives in the Hills district said: “I want to encourage people from all walks of life to get on a bike and ride at Pelotone offering a safe, supportive, professional and fun environment. The studio provides options for indoor and outdoor cyclists.”
In 2012 Karen suffered a significant sports injury which presented an immediate opportunity to reevaluate her life.
After 20 years in the corporate world, with a lot of time away from my family, and having experienced heartfelt local community support during my recovery, she was determined to follow her dream.
The outcome of that dream is Pelotone, and a life where family, fitness and community come first, she said.
“I am extremely passionate and excited to give back to the community and provide the one and only dedicated premier indoor cycle studio to one of Sydney’s fastest growing regions,” Karen said.
Pelotone, named after the cycling term, ‘peloton’, will not only include a state-of-the-art studio and equipment but will also have a hang-out area that will become the Pelotone community.
The facility will have no lock-in contracts, just pay as you ride, with a variety of cycle classes catering to all types of riders and levels of fitness.
“Pelotone will cater for not just the regular cyclist looking for a safe place to train, but also for cycling beginners and professionals, and those looking to use cycling to get fit, lose weight and to improve their mental wellbeing,” Karen said.
Benefits of regular cycling include: increased cardiovascular fitness; increased muscle strength and flexibility; improves joint mobility; decreases stress levels; improves posture and coordination; strengthens bones; decreases body fat levels; reduces anxiety and depression.
“At Pelotone the community will engage in cycling, and that makes for a healthier community and a happier community,” Karen said.
