Just in time for April Fool’s Day, Natural Grocers, America’s Nutrition Education ExpertsSM and the largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer in the U.S., is proud to introduce its free community “Spin & Blend” fitness classes…
The revolutionary spinning classes combine short bursts of anaerobic exercises and 100% Certified Organic produce and other premium-quality ingredients, for 30 minutes of an unforgettable workout.
THE SPIN & BLEND EXPERIENCE
Designed as a ridiculous “whole-body” health-supportive experience; the new Spin & Blend classes build on a fun alternative to just standing around and blending a smoothie in your kitchen. In today’s world of multitasking and busy lifestyles, it’s an efficient combination of exercise and eating right.
Attendees can start their day with an indoor bike ride equipped with bananas, blueberries, protein powders and more. They’ll get their heart rates up with 30 minutes of spin for a heart-healthy workout, while simultaneously making a delicious and nutritious smoothie bowl.
An instructor for the Spin & Blend pilot program said, “We had to add more fibrous and frozen ingredients to offset attendee enthusiasm, but now we have it dialed. Build your bowl your way, with sweat and maybe tears, plus organic produce, a variety of granola, and beneficial add-ins like collagen, protein powder, and electrolytes. After the class, dig in, refuel and recover.”
THE TECHNOLOGY
A representative from the new, non-existent Smoothie Bike Division at Natural Grocers stated, “It’s pretty old-school technology — I mean, the bikes have one wheel and cruiser-style handlebars, but the blender part really amps up the fun. It has around four different speeds, depending on your output: Novice, Expert, Pro, and Pain Cave.”
