It took a cast of thousands (well, at least 50) to unpack the brand new SMART TECH equipment from boxes, load the SMARTBARs with weights, put the SMARTSTEPs together then walk them to their allocated spot on the giant workout space at Marina Bay Sands all 800 spots having been so lovingly marked out with tape. Setting up 800 BODYPUMP sets is no small task. That funny time we moved 800 sets of equipment, then had to move them again Shout-out to the LMAP and BODY BIKE crew who had the pleasure of wiping down said bikes and navigating said unidentified puddles post 6 x FRIDAY NIGHT CYCLE sessions.Ģ3 March 2019: Everything else that wasn’t a cycle program The SPRINT session was presented by the man himself and by the looks of the puddles of sweat framing bikes at the end of class – it indeed was the most challenging indoor cycling workout (and for my own sanity, refuse to believe that the puddles were anything but sweat). “SPRINT is the most challenging indoor cycling workout since you last did SPRINT” – Glen Ostergaard. Moral of the story: book early so you can ride THE TRIP. The two TRIP sessions were fully booked out – and if you had to be satisfied with simply watching THE TRIP from the sidelines, like I was from the sound desk, well you would have found yourself quite motion sick. In THE TRIP you not only ride it, you survive it. It feels better than real because I’ve never gone upside down on a suspended corkscrew footpath and lived to tell the tale. And that’s where the awesomeness of THE TRIP lies: it feels real. While there are steep hills, there are no mum’s plants. I learned that lesson after mincing myself in mum’s prized shrubs at the end of a steep hill.
THE TRIP featured for the first time at FRIDAY NIGHT CYCLE, the twists and turns reminding me of the time I thought the streamers cascading from the end of the handle-bars as a (dumb) kid were brakes. Three sessions of sold-out RPM later and it was like witnessing three different releases such was the variety of Presenters and interpretations.
You know the bass is en pointe (more on LES MILLS BARRE later) when the floor is rumbling and the devout-non-cyclist is considering a cycle conversion of sorts. So fresh were the bikes from the factory floor in Denmark the protective labels needed to be removed.Īnd we’re off: the first of six Cycle classes scheduled for FRIDAY NIGHT CYCLE is RPM. Three people to lower the bike from the 5ft drop, one to wheel them backstage, one to direct them to the workout floor ensuring that they remained in colour and numerical order, and one idiot* to pretend the bike was a shopping trolley. 150 brand new BODY BIKE SMART + were lovingly unloaded off three colossal crates. The set-up of an event is sometimes as epic (for different, less fun reasons) than the event itself. You know those BODY BIKES didn’t move themselves. I am from the Head Quarters of Les Mills Asia Pacific (LMAP) in Canberra and was behind the sound desk doing sound-desky activities such as pointing at a screen and consuming too much liquid for someone that had limited opportunity to go to the bathroom.Ģ2 March 2019: FRIDAY NIGHT CYCLE powered by BODY BIKE
