SUMMARY:Bloom x Studio VERSŌ: Private Introductory Spin Class and info session
DESCRIPTION:Participants ride a stationary bike to rhythmic music in a fun\, energizing workout designed to boost your wellness.\n\n\nBloom 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. \nWhen & Where \n📅 Thursday\, June 25\, 2026 \n⏱️ 7:30 p.m. \n📍 Studio VERSŌ — O’Leary Avenue Studio\, 60 O’Leary Avenue\, St. John’s\, NL \nWhy attend? \nMany 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. \nYou 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. \nThis 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. \nWhat you will leave with \n\nA real experience of spin class in a supportive\, beginner-friendly setting\nConfidence in a local wellness studio and knowledge of how to return on your own\nConnections with other Bloom participants through a shared experience\nA clearer sense of local recreation and wellness opportunities available to you in St. John’s\nA positive step toward your own well-being and sense of belonging in Newfoundland and Labrador\n\nWhat you need to bring: \n\nA water bottle\nComfortable clothing you can move in\nIndoor sneakers\, if required by the studio\nAny personal items you may need after class\n\nBefore you arrive \nTo 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. \n👉 Create your account here: https://www.studioverso.ca/login?_mt=%2Faccount%2Fcreate%3FredirectURL%3D%252Faccount \nIf 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. \nPlease also plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early\, so the team can get everyone set up comfortably before class begins. \n \nAbout Studio VERSŌ \nStudio 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. \nRegistration 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. \nFor accessibility\, transportation\, or participation support\, contact bloom@amalnl.ca. \n🌱 Bloom – A Free Wellness and Community Integration Initiative for Newcomers in Newfoundland and Labrador \nBloom supports your well-being\, connection\, and meaningful integration at any stage of your journey as you build your new life here. \nBrought to you by Amal Unite & Empower\, with generous support from IRCC\, the North Pine Foundation\, and JIG (Department of Job\, Immigration & Growth). \n🔔 Important: One-Time Participant Form (Required) \nTo help us continue offering free wellness activities to the community\, we ask all participants to complete a short one-time information form. \nThis is a requirement from our funders and helps us keep Bloom running at no cost to you.
