    Spinning into Fitness: Cyclebar Henderson

    I got to check out the new spin class at Cyclebar Henderson this week in Green Valley! I never been to that part of Vegas so it was a really fun treat! The neighborhood is pretty cool and ‘city like’ unlike the rest of Vegas and there were a lot of great restaurants, shopping and places to walk around.  At the media preview of Cyclebar, we were given a chance to check out their class!
    Media guests were treated to fresh squeezed juices, sandwiches and a tour of the place. Cyclebar has a store in the front and offers leggings, tanks, sports bras too!  They have hair ties, bobby pins, gum and lip balm for free 🙂
    The clip in cycle shoes allow you to ‘clip’ to the bike pedals and just fly! When you spin, it’s different than riding a bike, you literally just spin and spin and spin. I got the shoes in size 5.5 and my regular shoe size is 6. My friend Zuly, who rides a lot, said you can get a bigger size in case your foot swells during the ride.
    Cyclebar Henderson is clean, brightly lit and friendly and welcoming!
    This specific location is owned by a husband and wife team, Gregorio and Maria Serrata.

    Come Clean CellCell

    Ultimate Desk Toy TSFW (Totally Safe for Work!)

     

    There is no denying that adulting is exhausting and we all need a bit of nostalgia. From fashion to film and everything in between, we just want things to be simple again. “Adulting” has its perks certainly but for the days when you wish you were still a kid, we have something for you. Introducing the first scented personal relaxation putty called Cellcell. According to the creators of Cellcell, it is anything but silly.

    Cellcell is a personal relaxation tool that goes where you go. It uses sensory relaxation through tactile and olfactory stimulation to ease your stress.  Stress is the biggest inhibitor of creativity and an invitation to disease and fear.  Cellcell will provide a calm and relaxing environment to nest your emotions.  In a digital world, we are often deprived of tactile opportunities to channel our emotions. Emotions are stored in the cellular level of each being and can reside there long after an incident has occurred or a memory forgotten. Take some time each day to play with Cellcell and reset your emotional mind frame to face the world with positivity and light.

    Cellcell comes in an array of colors that are modern, sophisticated and fashion forward. Some best sellers include Cake, Piscine, Manuka and Flamingo. Each design has a certain story. Cake is an off white, icing like putty with multicolored glitter inside. With the buttercream vanilla scent, this yummy Cellcell is for ideal for relaxation and celebration. Piscine is reminiscent of first days of summer by the swimming pool with best buds. Thankfully, it doesn’t smell like chlorine and more like coconut oil and sunscreen in a Caribbean paradise. Playing with this Cellcell is a quick escape to the tropics without the sand between your toes. Manuka is a golden flow of honeysuckle blossom goodness. Just like the New Zealand honey but without the sticky mess. This Cellcell has tiny little bears inside the honey jar.

    Playing with Cellcell is a great thinking tool and the ultimate desk toy. It is a discrete way to recharge on those long days, brainstorming sessions and helping you figure out just exactly what the client needs. Tactile stimulation, along with aromatherapy is great mood boosters without caffeine jitters.

    New to a job or not friends with your office mates yet? Let Cellcell be a conversation starter and when you collection grows, swap and trade with your colleagues too.

    This is surely a clever take on a childhood favorite toy. With endless possibility in colors, scents and texture, Cellcell focuses on pop culture trends, fashion inspired patterns and social media driven fads. With the advent of social media exposing how lonely most people are, it’s hard to believe that a little putty in a jar can center you again.

    But it can! Studies have shown that even 5 minutes of reflection and meditative state of mind can recharge a drained person. A midday motivation can not only elevate your mood but also resolve negative feelings with your boss and coworkers too. When you are feeling especially irritable with a case of the Mondays, try Cellcell and you may surprise yourself. And if squishy it around doesn’t help at all, you can chuck it across the room at the person making you mad.

     

    Made with natural materials with no preservatives, Cellcell is happy to take your bad juju from you. Keep it safely airtight in its jar and you can use each one for up to 30 days. Once it gets dirty from your hand and thoughts, toss it out and reorder another one. Some people have favorites while others like to switch it up. My preference? The all year plan for 24 Cellcell scents (2 per month) for the best deal to see if this reimagined putty can truly improve creativity and productivity this year.

    CycleBar Henderson owners Gregorio and Maria Serrata are 10-year Las Vegas residents who find time to pursue their fitness goals even while raising their four young children. Maria has finished multiple marathons and was inspired to complete her first triathlon after taking a cycle class. She recently completed a rigorous CycleStar bootcamp and will be teaching at the new location. Gregorio’s passion for fitness began with a dream to compete on “American Ninja Warrior.” While training, he found he was lacking in his cardio skills and discovered his love of  indoor cycling, which helped him achieve his dream last year.

     

    “More than 54 million Americans are working out at boutique fitness studios, which makes it the fastest growing sector of the fitness industry,” said Gregorio Serrata. “We wanted to bring a reputable brand that focused on welcoming new people who are typically intimidated by fitness, especially in the boutique fitness market.”
