Pearce Hosts Open House to Showcase New Indoor Cycling Bikes

Pearce Community Center invites the public to an open house to experience the new Matrix IC7 indoor cycles on Monday, May 1 from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Fifteen new state-of-the-art indoor cycles were purchased by the Pearce Foundation to upgrade older bikes. Pearce staff rebranded its indoor cycling program and enhanced the cycling room with fresh paint and signage. All cycling instructors have completed training on the new bikes, including the new Coach by Color® training system that delivers real-time, color-coded biofeedback to the rider.

During the open house, Pearce Cycling instructors will measure participants Functional Threshold Power (FTP), a test to help measure a user‘s fitness and establish their training zones. Once an individual‘s FTP is determined, users know their intensity zones to accurately target their effort for the best customized results.

After the brief FTP test, participants can try the bikes during an instructor-led demonstration. Four time slots will be offered for the test and trial ride: 5:00 to 5:10, 5:15 to 5:25, 5:30 to 5:40, and finally 5:45 to 5:55 p.m. The regularly scheduled Pearce Cycling class will begin at 6:00 p.m.

Refreshments will be served and a drawing for Pearce Cycling punch cards will be held.

The Pearce Foundation was established to provide an endowment fund for planned gifts and donations to Pearce. Since established, Pearce membership fees have only covered day-to-day operations of the Center. The Pearce Foundation has provided needed funds for facility improvements and upgrades including the new indoor cycles. Foundation memberships support the Foundation and provide extensive program and product discounts and guest privileges.
