The past few years have brought great things to our special studio. From upgrades, new faces, and new services, M2 hopes to bring a quality, full service experience to all our members.
Cycling Classes
Cycling power is measured in watts. You might think of lifting
weights as an analogy, where you can lift X amount of weight for Y
repetitions. It is pretty simple to figure out how many times you can
bench-press 50 pounds, and one does not need to spend time and money go
to a lab or monitor heart rate to do so – it would be pretty silly
actually.
Using our analogy, with a power-meter, a rider of any ability can
quickly discern how many watts he/she can generate for a particular
duration, be it 5 seconds, 3 minutes, 10 minutes, 60 minutes, or several
hours.
At M2 Revolution, our indoor cycles accurately measure power output
so that riders of every ability can understand their fitness and enjoy
seeing it measurably improve on a weekly basis, both in class and out on
the roads.
Alter-G Treadmill
One of the great advancements in rehabilitation and continued training over the past few years is brought to the studio for members to take full advantage of.
Why spend extra money anywhere else to aid in your recovery from surgery, or that marathon by going anywhere else when you can keep your legs moving on top of a bubble of air. That is exactly what the Alter-G can do for you and it is brought to our Gold Pass members free (Drop-In fee $30.00).
Appointments are strongly recommended as demand for this piece of equipment is high.

High Speed Treadmill
Great for a quick brick/transition run, or dialed in speed work, the Noramco high speed treadmill is a fantastic piece of equipment. Built to military specs, and to take a beating, M2's treadmill can attain 16 MPH and is sturdy enough to sustain the most brutal punishment.
Here's a good video from Noramco to show this. Utilizing the treadmill for sprint/speed workouts, you can jump on and off the treadmill to accomplish your intervals.
Please do not attempt over 12 MPH without a spotter or supervision. These are dangerous speeds and should not be attempted for the first time alone.

Computrainer
This is just another great tool to utilize along with M2's cycling classes. M2 can provide stand alone workouts for the Computrainer system to help anyone achieve their improvement goals.
Another great benefit of the Computrainer is the Spinscan function that helps to analyze pedal stroke for efficiency and left/right balance.

Vasa Trainers
For the time strapped athlete, Vasa Trainers and Ergometers are a great tool to aid in improving swim times. While they do not replace proper swim training, the Vasa equipment can supplement a good swim regimen and easily add swim workout time, without the additional investment to get to a pool.
As with anything, using the equipment properly is required to attain the results, so please inquire with M2 on proper uses and workouts.
