Two sisters are excited to open a new spin studio called Spin Sisters in the Town of Carman and the surrounding area, bringing indoor cycling to the area.
Britni Callum and Stephanie McIntosh own Spin Sisters. They grew up on a farm in Homewood but have since settled in Carman and Graysville with their families.
On Aug. 26, Spin Sisters will hold an open house to introduce the new business to the local community. The open house will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Studio, which is located on the south side of 310 4th Ave SW.
“We invite those interested to stop by, see the studio, get set up on a bike, and ask any questions they have or receive help on the app,” said McIntosh. There will also be merchandise available to order and a gift basket will be raffled off to someone who attends the open house.
Callum and McIntosh were regulars at a spin studio in Winnipeg before the idea to start a spin studio in Carman arose.
Callum, who lived in the city, had been looking for a home in Carman for her family to move to. When this studio location was put on the market, McIntosh thought it would be the perfect place for a spin studio, as she had been trying to get her sister to move back to Carman for a while now.
“After some conversations in the community where we got the feeling there was a lot of interest as well as not a lot of group fitness options in the town, we began the process of Spin Sisters,” said McIntosh.
Spin Sisters plans to offer classes six days a week, Monday through Saturday, in the morning, midday, and evening, to try to cater to all participants.
Classes will be adjusted throughout the year as they gauge interest and demand for certain times. Classes can be purchased online through the Mindbody app. Anyone without access to the app can reach out to the owners to set up a pack. Spin Sisters will be offering drop-ins, 5-class, 10-class, and unlimited spin packages.
“Our classes are rhythm-based, and riders will be encouraged to pedal to the beat while adding resistance and choreography as they ride,” said Callum. “We encourage everyone to try it out as the level of intensity of the ride is up to the rider. The schedule is available on an app called Mindbody by searching for Spin Sisters on the app.”
Spin Sisters has six instructors who have been working hard throughout the summer to become ready to teach classes. The first class is set for Sept. 3 in the evening, and a morning class the next day.
Callum and McIntosh are excited about the open house and about starting to deliver spin classes to Carman and the surrounding area.
“We’ve had a lot of interest since posting on social media, as well as from our family and friends who have had the chance to try out a sample class,” said Callum. “We couldn’t be more excited to start this journey together, and I wouldn’t want to be doing it with anyone else.”
