[ad_1]

Clear Creek Tahoe Clubhouse

“We focused on the pillars that set our community apart, from culinary to wellness and golf, with spaces appropriately both grand and intimate to celebrate life in the mountains and provides a legacy environment for our members active Tahoe lifestyle,” said General Manager Milward Bell-Bhatti

Clear Creek Tahoe, a private residential community located on the eastern slope of the Carson Range, has unveiled its new, 20,000-square-foot Clubhouse, conceived by the renowned architects at Hart Howerton. Debuting just in time for the winter season, this state-of-the-art facility is a defining community amenity with timeless architecture, featuring ample indoor and outdoor space for dining and social gatherings and approximately 5,000 square feet dedicated to fitness and wellness. Taking full advantage of an incomparable setting overlooking golf and dramatic rock outcroppings that rise steeply from the site, the facility lives as spectacularly indoors as out.

“Now more than ever, our community seeks connection, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce the Clear Creek Clubhouse to meet this need,” said Milward Bell-Bhatti, general manager, Clear Creek Tahoe. “We focused on the pillars that set our community apart, from culinary to wellness and golf, with spaces appropriately both grand and intimate to celebrate life in the mountains and provides a legacy environment for our members active Tahoe lifestyle.”

Design and interiors professionals worked closely with the Clear Creek development team to create a warm, inviting atmosphere of unmistakable quality. These are spaces that reward the knowing eye and curious touch – a contrast of massive scale with subtle details. Throughout, a carefully curated art collection infuses the experience with a gallery-like sensibility. There are echoes as well from the community’s Julia Morgan-designed Twin Pines Lake & Ski House not far away on Lake Tahoe and complements the light footprint of the Coore & Crenshaw golf course and the natural setting.

Entertaining spaces take in vistas of the Sierra Crest and rock outcroppings that rise from Jack’s Valley below. Steel and stone fireplaces cast a warm glow over the dining rooms, bar and lounge, all of which open to expansive stone terraces overlooking the 18th fairway of Nevada’s #1 private golf course.

Among the most treasured amenities the Clubhouse brings 5,000 square feet dedicated to fitness and wellness. This includes The Workshop, designed to be the central hub for fitness routines, outfitted with state-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment from the Italian wellness company, TechnoGym. There is also the standalone Performance Lab, equipped with custom Escape Fitness strength hubs and more Technogym cardio pieces, a prime training space for athletes and the general population alike, featuring trainers, along with everything from Olympic weights to boxing equipment. In the Movement Studio, long windows look out to the mountains while members gather for Pilates (both reformer and chair), barre, yoga, TPI golf workshops, H.I.I.T., circuit training, among on-demand classes via Peloton bikes. Spacious locker rooms have been thoughtfully designed for gathering and socializing, with generous wet areas and steam rooms. The Clubhouse also introduced The Sanctuary, offering single and couples’ spa treatment rooms and a menu of massage and facial treatments.

Members and their guests will also enjoy wellness programming built for everyone in the family, all geared to the great outdoors – from full moon snowshoe hikes to mountain biking, rock climbing, yoga, stand-up paddle boarding, kayak adventures and more.

“In tune with the community’s mountain setting and prime access to nature, Clear Creek Tahoe is placing great emphasis on advancing its wellness programming,” said Jenn Targett, director of wellness, Clear Creek Tahoe. “We’ve complemented the Clubhouse’s state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities with an entirely new wellness menu, from high-energy fitness classes and spa offerings to outdoor experiences which celebrate the region’s stunning natural landscape, all with the goal of creating a sense of community amongst our membership and exploring the beautiful area in which we reside.”

The unveiling of the Clear Creek Clubhouse follows a benchmark year of sales at the community, as Clear Creek Tahoe has closed 93 new homesites, achieving more than $99 million in sales in 2021. Year over year, this reflects a 32 percent increase in overall sales, a 35 percent increase in the average homesite sale price and a 29 percent increase of the average home sales price.

Clear Creek Tahoe is set on a spectacularly unspoiled sanctuary of 2,136 acres bordered by six million acres of the largest national forest in the lower 48 states and features a bespoke amenity suite featuring year-round offerings. This includes the Coore & Crenshaw-designed golf course which provides a world-class experience; the Summit Camp, a stunning family recreation campus inclusive of tennis and pickleball courts, a resort-style pool, grille service and lounge seating with firepits; Pro Shop & Provisions outlet; the Grille and Pub; elegant fairway cabins; and the Julia Morgan-designed Twin Pines Lake & Ski House, set on the shores of South Lake Tahoe, serving as the base camp for skiing at Heavenly in the winter and lakeside fun in warmer months.

Internationally Acclaimed Fitness Franchise P.volve Expands Footprint Canada

[ad_1]

P.volve, the celebrity-loved functional movement franchise, has announced ambitious growth plans for Canada, targeting the markets of Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Edmonton — territories that already represent the brand’s top five markets in terms of digital members, and demand continues to increase.

In Toronto alone, P.volve has earned more than 1,500 users over the past year. RJ Krone, P.volve’s vice president of studio and franchise operations, says all signs point towards continued growth throughout the country.

“There are different pockets of the U.S., the U.K. and Canada where we’ve been established for years but we continue to see substantial room for growth,” he said. “Demand for our services is increasing sharply in Canada, and we are prepared to meet that demand.”

The fitness franchise’s hybrid model combines a global, on-demand platform and an in-person, high-end studio experience that gives members a full-service experience wherever they are. The brand leverages its patented equipment line for an expert-designed program of functional movements designed to strengthen the entire body, improve mobility and posture and reduce everyday pain. Bridging the fitness and healthcare space, P.volve has revolutionized the vanity-driven fitness industry with a holistic approach and a special focus on improving women’s health.

P.volve already has awarded its first new location in Canada, said Alex Puccillo, P.volve’s director of franchise development. “Our first franchise agreement was executed the first week of this year.”

As the brand seeks more qualified franchise owners throughout the country, P.volve will continue to host Discovery Days — including virtual Discovery Days, when necessary — allowing prospective franchise owners to meet the corporate team and experience a comprehensive introduction to the brand’s operational model.

“We’ve managed to create a virtual discovery day that is nearly as hands-on as the in-person event,” explained Krone. “It’s not just going through a PowerPoint presentation and telling them more about our company.”

P.volve kicks Discovery Day off with a virtual workout over Zoom that is led by one of their expert trainers and incorporates stretch and movement breaks throughout the day.

“We’re getting to know the candidates, answering all their questions, and showing them exactly what makes P.volve special. That experience builds a level of trust that is core to our model; our franchisees need to know we have their back,” said Krone

As P.volve embarks on its mission to establish new locations in all 10 Canadian provinces, the brand is leveraging its enviable social media following to attract new franchisee candidates.

“Our strong digital and social media presence paired with the research we’ve done on other boutiques, we feel that 100+ studios in all 10 Canadian provinces is well within our reach,” said Puccillo.

ABOUT P.VOLVE

P.volve is a functional training movement method that reduces pain, improves balance and builds total body strength. P.volve launched in November 2017 and was co-founded by Rachel Katzman and Stephen Pasterino, in partnership with Camelot Venture Group, whose portfolio companies include 1-800 CONTACTS, SmileDirectClub and Quicken Loans. Available worldwide, P.volve is headquartered in New York City. For more information, please visit http://www.pvolvefranchise.com and @pvolve on Instagram.

Feed.fm Reveals Top 5 Fitness Music Trends and Tips for 2022

[ad_1]

Feed.fm’s expert music curation team has packaged their findings to help you fine tune your music strategy for 2022.

“As music curators, we’ll be thinking deeply and carefully about fitness music and invite you to apply some of these pointers in your own business,” says Feed Media Group senior curator and writer, Eric Stensvaag.

As a new year begins, many of us are still striving towards a renewed sense of normalcy, particularly in our exercise routines. To help achieve this, Feed.fm, which powers music for the world’s leading fitness brands – including Mirror, Nautilus, FightCamp, Class Pass, and Tonal – has compiled its findings. They served up 550 million songs to 6 million unique users over the past year and identified five unique fitness music trends and tips that will prepare us for 2022.

“Come January 1st, we are hoping life will continue stabilizing,” says Feed Media Group senior curator and writer, Eric Stensvaag. “We and many others will continue making time for workouts that anchor us in our bodies and our breath. As music curators, we’ll be thinking deeply and carefully about fitness music and invite you to apply some of these pointers in your own business.”

Feed.fm reports seeing a continued increase in usage over the past year, which provides a valuable glimpse of what to expect this year. With entertainment options still restricted and high-quality workout programs available at the click of a button, fitness will continue to provide an unbeatable value proposition. While it’s been amazing to see the variety of programs people have used to stay productive and healthy throughout 2021, unsurprisingly, says the team at Feed.fm, music has been the common denominator, especially considering that 93% of people say that music makes or breaks a workout, and the right song at the right time is proven to help your mood and performance.

Regardless of whether you’re building out music for an app, site or studio, here are five areas to focus your fitness efforts in 2022:

(1.) Familiarity is Key

As fitness curators, the team at Feed.fm tends to focus mostly on songs people know and love, sprinkling in a smaller amount of lesser-known tracks. Part of the fun is seeing which of the latter are most liked, but they always expect the majority of best-performing songs to be upbeat hits with “four-on-the-floor,” consistent rhythm. A half-million fitness users can’t be wrong. Here are takeaways from our Top Workout Songs of 2021:


  • Pop is on top. Most people want uptempo, feel-good pop – songs they’ve heard for a while but not so long they are stale.
  • Hits from the past few years work great in fitness stations. For example, the increased familiarity of Miley Cyrus’ biggest 2020 hit gave it an edge over her latest single.
  • Female artists inspire strong workouts. With the sole exception of “Hot Girl Bummer,” all of these songs are powered by women including Cyrus, Dua Lipa, and Carly Rae Jepsen.

(2.) Pop is Perking Up

Feed.fm originally reported on this welcome trend in December 2020, and the trend has continued over the past year and likely will this year. It’s been exciting to pick from an energetic crop of current hits to keep our music stations fresh. Check out the infographic for some of the favorite new fitness songs, a mixture of uptempo pop and mellower jams (ie: “Beautiful Feelings,” or “Spaceman”) that people couldn’t get enough of.

(3.) Trap is Everywhere

While it originated with 1990s Southern hip hop, slowly growing to dominate today’s hip hop charts, the synth drum/triple flow stylings of trap music has fully crossed outside its original genre to encompass many others. Trap is often heard simultaneously as a slow groove and a double-time faster groove. It’s a fascinating rhythmic structure, but curating with trap poses unique challenges to consider, including:

  • Determining the bpm (beats per minute) for trap songs is so subjective that one curator may hear 72 bpm while another prefers 144 bpm. Because of this, we recommend going with one’s gut, picking higher intensity trap songs for fitness. (If you’re stumped, focus on the relative loudness of a song or the speed of a vocalist’s delivery.)
  • Trap-influenced music usually pairs best with asynchronous activity like strength training versus running or cycling where the music’s tempo is synchronized.

(4.) Chilling Out is In

The past year also saw an uptick in yoga and stretching workouts for decompressing from pandemic-induced and everyday stresses. There’s an abundance of research demonstrating the physiological benefits of listening to relaxing, therapeutic music, and Feed.fm’s curation team spends much of their time developing music stations that pair well with various yoga styles. Here are a few Yoga music tips:

  • This is a fitness modality where well-known artists and songs are not needed. With the exception of some downtempo, more acoustic pop, consider steering clear of the charts.
  • Instead, focus on slower-paced, mostly instrumental music with soothing tones.
  • There’s ample room for creative curation, but most people don’t want music that’s too busy (lyrically, rhythmically, or in terms of sonic density) during their time on the mat.

(5.) People Want Choices

Many of Feed.fm’s fitness partners give users a choice of music in addition to the choice of workout. This often takes the form of various music stations (Pop, Hip Hop, Throwback, etc.) that a user directly selects. But even in instances like these, one person’s hip hop jam is another person’s nonstarter.

  • It’s important that you survey fitness users periodically about their musical preferences. Learning that most of them love Lizzo but dislike Justin Bieber might translate directly to higher retention and usage. If you’re able to incorporate a feedback mechanism into the music interface, you might realize that users love Lizzo during high-intensity cardio, but prefer some of Justin Bieber’s mellow songs during vinyasa.
  • The most common way to do this is by offering exercisers an option to skip songs mid-workout. Feed.fm makes it easy with their pre-built music player that integrates with minimal coding. The result is a customizable player with flexible playback and skip features.
  • For Feed.fm’s curation team, evaluating monthly skip rates is essential for them to optimize and refine music stations. They regularly add and remove songs, often replacing big hits that we know and love when the data proves that they don’t pair well with fitness.

If you are a digital fitness company interested in adding popular music to your dynamic workouts, Feed.fm would love to hear from you.

About: Feed Media Group is for businesses that need licensed popular music to create the most engaging customer experiences in their digital apps and physical spaces. Unlike navigating complex, time consuming negotiations with music labels and publishers, Feed Media Group’s proprietary streaming platform and SDKs deliver pre-cleared music—compiled by the industry’s best curators— complete with user analytics, payments to rightsholders, and legal indemnification for our customers. Feed.fm powers music for the world’s leading brands including The Beachbody Company, American Eagle Outfitters, Mayo Clinic, Mirror, Nautilus and Tonal; and up-and-coming startups use Adaptr to create unique music-based experiences.

SPIRE’s top-tier academy facility is located on a campus of more than 500 acres. With over 800,000 sq. ft. of climate-controlled facilities under roof, SPIRE is the largest indoor multi-sport, training, education and competition complex in North America.

Mutombo’s involvement will serve a strategic purpose of continuing to elevate SPIRE in becoming the premier training institute in the world – working with the best faculty, trainers and educators in the industry. Mutombo’s group will work with SPIRE to attract and secure international talent and expand the Academy’s global reach with an enhanced focus on the continent of Africa. As well, Mutombo will work closely with SPIRE to partner with global entities to provide sponsorships that will aid student athletes across the globe, enabling student athletes and most dedicated youth to experience the full benefits of SPIRE.

Dikembe Mutombo explains, “As someone for whom sports has created significant opportunities, it has been my dream to help create opportunities for other young athletes. SPIRE realizes our dream to help athletes not only develop excellence on the court or field, but develop the heart, mind and soul as well. SPIRE Academy is perfectly positioned and equipped to offer this kind of holistic enrichment for young men and women as they develop their athletic potential and grander potential as human beings. We are genuinely excited for this investment and partnership with SPIRE.”

SPIRE managing partner, Jonathan Ehrenfeld, shared, “Dikembe’s long-established record and accolades as an athlete and humanitarian are the essentials of what we want to role model for our SPIRE student athletes. These young students are already making tremendous sacrifices to be the best in their respective fields. We give them the best building blocks in personal and athletic skills development, from our state-of-the-art facilities, to our world-renowned coaches and faculty. SPIRE strives to provide access to limitless opportunities as we focus on college placement, career and community development, emulating Dikembe’s legacy of care and contribution to the world around us. This partnership will allow us to build bridges and strengthen ties with our global partners and supercharge the values at the heart of the SPIRE Way.”

Athletes hold a tremendous power to influence many cultures across the world, and those who make significant contributions to society usually start with rich mentorship and meaningful and diverse education opportunities. SPIRE provides these crucial elements to its student base, and Dikembe Mutombo’s influence and impact will further accelerate this effort.
