30 OCT 2015 · Greetings Peak Performance listeners! After much change and landing in an awesome NEW job! I had a great opportunity and privilege of working with a young and upcoming Oakland County mother-daughter duo Samantha and Karen Kelman who dreamed for years of opening a boutique fitness studio, and spent vacations traveling the country, sampling workout classes and trying to figure out what combination of things would give them the perfect blend of cardiovascular and strength-training, but with low impact. Tweaking what they learned, the Kelmans created Fuse 45 — a high-intensity circuit workout using a stationary air bike, rowing and ski machines — and opened Cycle & Row, their first studio, in February in West Bloomfield. This podcast Samantha talks about 1. What is Cycle & Row 2. What was it like participating on Sweat Inc. 3. What technology she used on the show and in Cycle and Row. Podcast quote: "When you work out in the studio, you're connected to a tracking device called a Mio on the wrist much like a FitBit, Jawbone or Nike Fuel band with a built-in heart-rate monitor that can tell you when your body is really working hard." Let me know what you think of this podcast and I am making a request for topics for a ​podcast that you would like me to do for our next update! All the best and keep on your fitness journey, ​Marcelo ​
