The ReCYCLE Room St. Thomas, Spinning with Purpose
For our Local Business Spotlight this month, and #worldenvironmentday we wanted to do a quick post on a new cycling studio located at Buccaneer Plaza on St. Thomas. As we often get questions from people asking us what the best gyms on St. Thomas, or the VI in general, are (we have an entire post dedicated to that coming up soon), we thought we should mention our favorite eco-friendly studio today. Enter The ReCYCLE Room. The ReCYCLE Room is a forward-thinking spin class that combines the passions of fitness, health, and environmental sustainability.
After the storms, Avian Biscoe, who has been a personal trainer on St. Thomas for over 18 years, came to the quick realization that people were either seeking solace in exercise or a variety of unhealthier habits. The rate and intensity at which this was happening were both inspiring and alarming. It was then that she saw an opportunity to create a business that would pull in the growing population of health enthusiasts. Additionally, through her avid marketing, community involvement, and educational style, she hopes to create a movement that will help to convert those that are not yet on the “health track”.
With a little bit of planning, time, and hard work, her vision started to play out, and The ReCYCLE Room was born. The ReCYCLE Room is a product of a new social culture of fitness, environmental health, and awareness. People can work towards their own personal health, and unite in goals and efforts towards global and environmental health. The shop sells items like workout leggings that are built entirely from recycled plastic, as well as shirts. Even their decor is made of eco-friendly materials!
So onto the workout, this is not your average. The classes are beyond a workout—it’s a full sensory experience. Your experience (as Avian likes to call it) will start when you arrive at the modern, and beautifully decorated,
When you make it to your second class and get to some of those “tough moments” all you need to do is remember that amazing high and sense of accomplishment that you had immediately after, and that will be more than enough to push you through. The ReCYCLE Room is a welcoming and inviting experience that we highly recommend it—just don’t hate us if you can’t feel your legs after.
