We are all fortunate to live in a place like San Diego that has such great year round weather.  If you like getting outside there is hardly a better place to be.  As much as we love the outdoors at Aire, we know you get the most bang for your buck in doors sometimes.  Last weekend one of our athletes that is prepping for Ironman Arizona spent 5 hours (!!!) riding 108 miles on the Saris Power Tap Cycle.  That’s 5 hours of uninterrupted work.   No stop lights, no coasting, and best of all no road raging traffic.  Not everyone can/wants/needs to do something like that but the point is sometimes thinking about efficiency is important when we all have so little time to spare.  At Aire Urban we have downtown San Diego’s best indoor cycling center with Power Tap bikes, multi rider Computrainer systems, and a 52 inch plasma screen to watch some racing while you ride. 

Hopefully some of you caught the boys of Aire’s own Engine Room Fitness on Fox 5 News last week for Fitness Friday.  They had the indoor water rowers set up for a great segment on the indo row group rowing program.  If it is your off season and you are looking for some fantastic cross training in or near downtown San Diego you have to check this out.

Our same Ironman athlete prepping for the Arizona race on November 22nd has been spending some time with Jen in the Pilates room at Aire Urban.  It’s great to go long and have speed, but if your core is not there you are bound to break down over time.  Aire Urban has downtown San Diego’s best private and semi private pilates studio and an instructor/coach in Jen that will get you the workout that you need. 

Keep your eyes out for us on Facebook and Twitter as there are likely to be some holiday festivities and special events in the works soon!

Well we are off and running for the “stealth training” season at Aire Urban.  Last week we had the official Grand Opening party and had a great turn out including the folks from Optimal Nutrition, Engine Room Fitness, Break Away Training, Muscle Specialists and all our good friends.  Festivities started on site and finished next door at the Se hotel.  This weekend hosted the first group triathlon training workout in downtown San Diego with Break Away Training Triathlon Club hosting a bike/run workout on the roof top with a run up to Balboa Park and back.  The Computrainer system is up and running and we are pretty sure it is downtown San Diego’s only Computrainer Cycling Center AND Power Tap Cycling system.  TRX group classes have been getting a lot of attention and Engine Room Fitness group rowing will be featured on Fox Five News coming up in about two weeks so keep your eyes posted!!  As the outdoor season winds down and the in door training season gears up we hope to see you at Aire Urban Performance soon for downtown San Diego’s only performance athletic center with Pilates, Yoga, indoor cycling, indoor rowing and personal training.
