\nMembers Across North America Can Support AHA\u2019s \u201cLife is Why\u201d Campaign by Riding During American Heart Health Month in February, Culminating in a CycleGives Event on February 25<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women, claiming more women\u2019s lives than all forms of cancer combined. To help raise awareness and join the fight against heart disease and stroke this February, also known as American Heart Health Month, CycleBar<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest indoor cycling franchise, is supporting the American Heart Association (AHA), the world\u2019s leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all. CycleBar will be participating in the AHA\u2019s fundraising campaign Life Is Why\u2122<\/a>, which encourages donations from consumers to celebrate their reasons to live longer, healthier lives. To help spread this important message, CycleBar has also partnered with actress, director, and producer Melissa Joan Hart, encouraging members to \u201cride with Hart.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAll month long, CycleBar will donate 2% of all retail purchases to the AHA, and efforts will culminate in a major CycleGives\u2122 event on Saturday, February 25. Studios across North America will be hosting $10 rides with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the AHA. Those who are unable to attend the event on February 25 have the opportunity to make a donation at CycleBar\u2019s donation website<\/a> any time throughout the month.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cNearly 80% of Americans do not get enough exercise, which is the number one precursor for poor heart and brain health,\u201d said Trevor Lucas, President of CycleBar. \u201cAt CycleBar, we feel connected to the American Heart Association\u2019s message as indoor cycling, including our rhythm-based, premium cardio workout, is a fantastic way to improve both heart and brain health. We are thrilled to partner with them, as well as actress, director and producer Melissa Joan Hart, to help raise awareness and funds through our CycleGives event.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nIndoor cycling is one of the most effective forms of aerobic exercise, improving cardiovascular health by elevating your heart rate and building muscular endurance and strength through climbs, sprints, and other drills. It is listed<\/a> among AHA\u2019s examples of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, and CycleBar in particular enhances the workout with high-energy CycleBeats playlists, trackable CycleStats, immersive mood lighting, exhilarating choreography, and an upper body segment of class to offer full-body conditioning. All of this happens in the company of a supportive studio community. CycleBar hopes their charitable efforts with the AHA can encourage more people to take up cycling for exercise, as over 44% of women ages 20 and up are living with some form of cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death in women.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCycleBar and American Heart Association\u2019s mission resonated with me on a personal level, and it\u2019s an honor to use my platform to help these organizations highlight the importance of heart health and encourage people to live active, healthy lives,” said Melissa Joan Hart.\n<\/p>\n
