You might have already seen my vacation snaps on social media, but I’ve spending my weekend in the beautiful Florida Keys with Stephanie from Diary of a Debutante and Christina from Christy Alexa Boutique! We already had already talked about fitting in a workout before our bikini-filled weekend, so we were pumped when Vaseline invited us to check out their partnership with Flywheel Sports in Boca Raton!
The Boca Raton Flywheel Sports studio features two signature classes: Flywheel and FlyBarre. Flywheel is a modern twist on a traditional spinning class, and I’ll admit I was a little intimidated to try out my first class. I’m not exactly in the best shape, and I was afraid I’d be huffing and puffing in the corner while the pro-level spinners were continuing the course at 150 RPM. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case! The Flywheel class is held in a dimly lit studio, and the instructor gave clear instructions that made it easy to follow along. You can also adjust the torque (resistance) on your bikes throughout the class if you want to amp up the intensity level. While most of the class consisted of traditional spinning moves, at the end of the class we picked up weighted bars to workout our arms. I was pretty sure that I’d fall off my bike trying to do bicep curls and cycling at the same time. I might have looked like a crazy person balancing on the bike, but I stayed upright so I’m calling it a win!
While we didn’t reach the torque or RPM level of the frequent riders, Stephanie and I did survive the class! The loud music helped to keep me motivated, and I loved that the instructor kept us engaged without pressuring us to perform at her level of fitness. It was a great workout that left my heart pumping and muscles sore without completely exhausting my body. I’d definitely try it again, and I’d love to try out their FlyBarre class as well!
Vaseline is partnering with Flywheel Sports through July 20th, so you can receive a free can of Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer with any Flywheel class! The spray format of the lotion makes it easy to apply post-workout, and it’s the perfect pick-me-up after an intense class. I had the energy of a sloth after an hour of cycling, so anything that saves time/energy post-workout is a lifesaver. Instead of having to undress and spend 15 minutes rubbing in a thick lotion, the Vaseline spray moisturizers can be applied in seconds and absorb almost instantly. I’ve always been partial to the Aloe Soothe formula because I love the fresh scent, but all three varieties are fabulous.
Once we staggered out of the class on our jelly legs, we took a quick shower and picked out our favorite Vaseline spray lotions. A few quick sprays of lotion later, we were refreshed and ready to start the second leg of our epic road trip to the Keys! If you want to check out a Flywheel class for yourself or take advantage of Flywheel x Vaseline promotion, you can schedule a class on the Flywheel Sports website!
What’s your favorite summer workout? Have you tried Flywheel before?

I’ve wanted to try this for so long! Both Vasoline & Flywheel! It looks like you had a great time, it also looks like such a fun workout!
I wish they had a studio in GB, but I’ll just wait until I move in December!

I don’t know if I could make it through a full flywheel class (I’m so out of shape!) but it looks like a blast! I love exercise classes where you get to rock out to music!

Spin classes have always intimidated me, but I’ve heard such great things about them! One of these days…
I’d love to attempt one of these classes in the near future.
I am just getting back into working out and have been doing the bike on my own as cardio.
It looks like you guys got a good workout in while still having some fun.

My favorite workout period, has to be planks, lol…not one for most but I love how challenging they are, and completing a few pumps me up!
I’m dying to try a spin class. I’m glad you were able to keep up!! Have you ever done a spin class before this one? I’m terrified to go into it having not done it before…

I love spin classes. I currently spin about 2-4 times a week at a 5:00am class at my local gym. It’s a great way to start my morning. I personally hate rubbing in lotion. Often times I walkout the house with lotion spots not rubbed in all the way, so this is right up my alley.

I’ve never taken any sort of spinning class before but I have heard they are INTENSE. Love getting in a great workout before wearing a bikini!
Flywheel sounds like so much fun! I’ll have to check it out here in NY. I love SoulCycle so I’m sure I would love this too Xx
I have been dying to try Flywheel! It looks like so much fun and I’ve heard about this Vaseline moisturizer several times now, so maybe I should pick one up!

That class sounds so intense! I don’t know if I could have survived the class like you were able to. I’ve been curious about this spray-on lotion! It sounds so interesting. I wear lotion pretty much daily, and it’d be nice to have lotion that doesn’t leave my palms feeling clammy.
I have yet to try out a FLyWheel class! Its fairly new to Dallas, but there’s only two studios so classes fill up QUICK!
I’ve always wanted to try both of these…the vaseline spray on moisturizer and a flywheel class! My cousin has been dying to get me to go to class with her and once everything settles down I think I will next month!

I would LOVE to take a FlyBarre class! I wish that there was a studio nearby. I really need to give this Vaseline spray a try! I have been reading so many rave reviews about it 🙂

I cannot wait to go back to Flywheel! I’ve been using the spray lotion like crazy, I’m so obsessed with it. And you and Stephanie are the cutest set of blogger BFFs, I love it!

I kinda wish they had Flywheel near me! Although I took a spin class one time and almost died, plus my feet barely reached the pedals lol oops
Wow, this sounds awesome, and who knew that it was right in my backyard! I have to try Flywheel soon

What a fun experience! I definitely had the same jelly legs after my very first Flywheel… it’s a serious work out!
I love FlyWheel! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I picked up Vaseline when I was there the other day. Definitely a nice perk!
I have always been scared to try a spinning class, but I’m glad you made it through yours! I might have to give one a try now. I like how flywheel does an arm workout too though!
I’ve never tried spinning but it looks like so much fun! And that Vaseline spray looks great, especially for post workout showers! Love this, have fun in FL 🙂
I have seen the Vasaline spray-on lotion everywhere lately! Every time I see it, I’m more inclined to try it out. That FlyWheel class sounds like so much fun! I absolutely love working out and that class sounds like something that would be right up my alley.
You guys are so cute! And this looks like a blast. The whole spinning I’ve done is on a regular bike at the gym before work, so I’m not sure if I could handle a formal spinning class like this! But I did a formal kickboxing class last night, and THAT whooped my behind!

Sounds like a fun exercise class. The vaseline spray sounds great I will have to try it.
