There’s honestly nothing that gets our hearts thumping and competitive side going quite like Flywheel. I mean, what’s better than a post-class ranking to make sure you really push yourself during a workout?
That said, we pushed ourselves — like, hard — during last night’s Be Well Philly Underground pop-up workout. By the end, we weren’t so much sweating as showering the ground with perspiration. It was a sweaty, fast-paced, all-out race throughout out 45-minute session with Flywheel Center City’s Jackie Dragone, and we gotta say, it was a total blast. Those who really pedaled their hearts out were rewarded — the top male and female riders each went home with a Sip-N-Glo Juicery tumbler.

Afterwords, we chugged some Essentia water and walked on shaky legs to Sip-N-Glo’s samples table, where we taste-tested their Pineapple Charcoal Lemon-Aid (looks like chimney scrapings, tastes like candy) and the Green Beast juices. Then everyone had a chance to enter to win some phone cases from our awesome sponsor Verizon (who also gave everyone a free tote. Score!), and a Sip-N-Glo gift card.
