Bloom x Studio VERSŌ: Private Introductory Spin Class and info session
Bloom is partnering with Studio VERSŌ to offer a private, beginner-friendly introduction to spin for newcomers in Newfoundland and Labrador. This session is part of Bloom in Motion — a wellness, recreation, and community campaign focused on movement, connection, and belonging. No previous spin or fitness experience is required.
When & Where
📅 Thursday, June 25, 2026
⏱️ 7:30 p.m.
📍 Studio VERSŌ — O’Leary Avenue Studio, 60 O’Leary Avenue, St. John’s, NL
Why attend?
Many people are curious about wellness and fitness studios but feel uncertain about attending alone for the first time — unsure what to wear, what to expect, or whether they will feel welcome. This session was designed with that in mind.
You will arrive as a group, get a full tour of the studio, hear everything explained in plain language before class begins, and have time to ask questions. The spin class itself is private — just Bloom participants — and you are always in control of your own pace, resistance, and intensity. You can slow down, stay seated, take breaks, or participate at whatever level feels comfortable for you.
This is a low-pressure, welcoming opportunity to try something new, move your body, and connect with others in a space that is designed to feel safe and encouraging.
What you will leave with
- A real experience of spin class in a supportive, beginner-friendly setting
- Confidence in a local wellness studio and knowledge of how to return on your own
- Connections with other Bloom participants through a shared experience
- A clearer sense of local recreation and wellness opportunities available to you in St. John’s
- A positive step toward your own well-being and sense of belonging in Newfoundland and Labrador
What you need to bring:
- A water bottle
- Comfortable clothing you can move in
- Indoor sneakers, if required by the studio
- Any personal items you may need after class
Before you arrive
To help things run smoothly on the day, all participants are requested to create a Studio VERSŌ account in advance. During account creation, you will be prompted to review and accept their terms of service and privacy waiver. A general liability waiver will also be completed at the studio when you arrive.
👉 Create your account here: https://www.studioverso.ca/login?_mt=%2Faccount%2Fcreate%3FredirectURL%3D%252Faccount
If you are not able to complete this beforehand, iPads will be available at the studio — but doing it in advance makes a big difference and is greatly appreciated.
Please also plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early, so the team can get everyone set up comfortably before class begins.
About Studio VERSŌ
Studio VERSŌ is a proudly female-owned, independent movement studio founded right here in St. John’s. They believe movement should feel joyful — not judgmental — and they build everything around connection, confidence, and community rather than competition or appearance. Their O’Leary Avenue studio is vibrant, welcoming, and rooted in the heart of the city. It is exactly the kind of space Bloom is proud to bring participants into.
Registration is required so Bloom can confirm your spot, share details before the session, and plan for participant supports. Transportation support through bus passes is available if needed.
