Product Watch - Gym Wheel Classes

Spin your wheels at Gym Wheel Classes with Wolfgang Bientzle. Gym wheel classes are an extremely advanced form of full-body, cardio, and flexibility workouts.

January 5, 2009

At the company holiday party, you OD’d on eggnog and fondled your boss under the mistletoe.

Suffice it to say you’re a whack job.

Take back the wheel with Wolfgang Bientzle, a former Cirque du Soleil performer.  Starting Wednesday in Uptown, Bientzle will teach gym wheel classes (think hamsters) for a full-body workout with an acrobatic twist.

While strapped into a giant wheel, you’ll learn to rock from side to side and to roll over. In no time, you’ll be doing advanced tricks (cartwheels, turns without your hands).

The gym wheel naturally increases coordination, strength, and balance. Plus it’s fun, easy on the joints, and a great way to start a fresh year.

Wheely.

Eight-week sessions start Wednesday at Alternative Family Youth Center, 4730 North Sheridan Road, at Lawrence Avenue. To sign up, call 773-732-4564. First-time drop-ins are free. For more information, go to wolfgangbientzle.com.
