RealRyder launches at Proactive Fitness in Hermanus
Already a success in gyms and fitness centres across the USA, Europe and other countries, RealRyder® is set to revolutionise indoor cycling in South Africa. Launched at FIBO last year, the first fitness centre, Proactive Fitness Centre in Hermanus, launched its new indoor cycling gym in June 2019, featuring exclusively RealRyder® Indoor Cycles.
Proactive Fitness owner and RealRyder South Africa Brand Ambassador, Mathew Browne (BA Human Movement Studies, Sports Science, from University of Durban Westville), says that he was looking for indoor bicycles that would take training to the next level and address the needs and challenges of body movement in indoor cycling. “RealRyder® is the answer,” he says, “These cycles give classes a new way of working out. For the first time, we are able to offer gym goers a full body workout on a stationary bike, that is not stationary, including a lot more fun for both instructor and rider. The natural movement of a RealRyder® simulates the natural body movements required on a road bike”
A standout feature of RealRyder® is its ability to not only provide more benefits in terms of a full body workout than a standard stationary bike, but it also sways from side to side, simulating a road bike, working core muscles to their maximum. RealRyders® rock side to side, similar to road bikes, allowing for a more natural pelvic rotation transferring momentum through the torso, giving core muscles a full workout. Standing up also provides improved benefits in forcing riders to keep the RealRyder® balanced, further placing emphasis on core muscles.
According to Peter Jäck of RealRyder South Africa, distributors of RealRyder®, balance, coordination and core engagement come into play. Moving into a turn, core muscles are engaged to rotate the torso as you lean into the turn. The longer you hold the turn, the more triceps, core and shoulder muscles work to maintain balance, increasing the challenge of the workout, a real benefit of RealRyder®.
Stepping onto a RealRyder® provides your first experience, as the bike immediately tilts giving riders a true sense of the difference it offers. Indoor cycling classes are introduced to a new fun element and allows indoor cycling instructors a wide range of additional options to include in routines.
RealRyder® has introduced a revolution in indoor cycling with the benefits firmly focussed on improved fitness and health.
