Flywheel, the indoor cycling sensation announced today that fitness guru Jillian Michaels has joined the 18-month old New York based Fitness Company as an investor and will be actively involved in taking the company to new markets. After an amazing first year with six studio openings, Flywheel will open ten more locations over next year. “After discovering the authenticity and athleticism behind the brand,” said Michaels, “I wanted to be part of the most innovative and effective indoor cycling program, and that is Flywheel.  I am thrilled to join the Flywheel team.”

Flywheel currently operates three cycling studios in Manhattan (in the Flatiron, Upper West Side and Upper East Side neighborhoods), two in the Hamptons (in Sag Harbor, NY and East Hampton, NY) and one in Boca Raton, Florida.  Flywheel’s upcoming studio openings include Chicago, Atlanta, Miami Beach and Millburn, New Jersey. The Flatiron, East Hampton, Atlanta, Miami Beach and Millburn locations also feature FlyBarre, the perfect complement to Flywheel’s intense cardio workout.  FlyBarre is a 60-minute full-body sculpting class with intense interval exercises to help build leaner, stronger, elongated muscles.
