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 withA real experience of spin class in a supportive, beginner-friendly settingConfidence in a local wellness studio and knowledge of how to return on your ownConnections with other Bloom participants through a shared experienceA clearer sense of local recreation and wellness opportunities available to you in St. John'sA positive step toward your own well-being and sense of belonging in Newfoundland and LabradorWhat you need to bring:A water bottleComfortable clothing you can move inIndoor sneakers, if required by the studioAny personal items you may need after classBefore you arriveTo help things run smoothly on the day, all participants are requested to create a Studio VERSŌ account in advance.
