What is Colour War (for Instructors)

All b.cycle instructors will be split up evenly into groups of 4 and you will then become 1 color’s Team Captain.

 

Note: When splitting the instructors into groups, we will aim to create fair and balanced teams! We will also try to split up friend groups in order to promote getting to know new people and creating community!

Team Captains are responsible for rallying their client/staff troops to take classes together, helping their team strategize how to get more points, creating team spirit, and creating inclusivity for every member of your team!

If you have any ideas you have on how to create team spirit/inclusivity or want more information on what this means, please reach out to Lisa, Yan, or Jess!

How do you earn points for your team?*

*This applies to clients AND staff AND instructors

THE SOLDIER

Take 3 or more classes in a week (from Monday to Sunday) and earn your team 1 point. Note: 6 classes don’t equal 2 points!

Note for instructors: The classes that you teach do not count towards your soldier points! You have to take 3 classes outside of your schedule to earn a point #spreadthelooooove

THE Troops

Take classes as a team and earn 1 point per teammate above 4 per class. Example: 5 teammates = 5 points, 6 teammates = 6 points, BUT 4 teammates = 0 points

Note: The instructor teaching counts as a troop point for that class! Example: if there are 6 blue team members in a class and the instructor for that class is a team Blue Captain, they will receive 6 + 1 troops points!

THE B.ATTLE

We will be hosting COLOUR WAR B.ATTLE classes with team challenges that can earn your team points. This year, COLOUR WAR B.ATTLE classes will be in “HIIT the barre” classes and in both Performance & Signature cycle classes!

 

Troops points will be worth DOUBLE in b.attle classes so make sure you show up in BIG numbers to these special classes!

Note for staff/instructors: 

Colour War B.attle classes will be the most complicated part of the activation. The complicated set up of the battle classes will be mainly with the Studio Manager and the SC on shift and the instructor will receive their special training on how to make their class a Colour b.attle class.

 

If a client asks how the b.attles work, explain that points will be awarded for different challenges

 

-The challenges in body will be physical and individual (example: Round 1, you did 10 push ups, try to beat your score in Round 2 to earn your team points)

 

-The challenges in Cycle will be board-based Team Challenges. As you may know, the teams are currently split up to be Blue and Green in the room but we can manually modify performance IQ to add Red and Yellow and associate each bike to the team the client is on!

NEW!

THE SURPRISE INITIATIVE

Surprise Initiatives are extra missions your Colour War Army can go on to gain bonus points! There will be one extra mission announced per week! 

b.cycle will announce the weekly Surprise Initiative via email & social media!

Note for staff and instructors: 

 

We have not yet decided what these surprises will be but we do know that: 

-There will be 1 different challenge each week starting week 2, 3 in total 

-We will aim to create challenges that bring attendance to less popular time slots or class types

Special Colour War class package (FOR CLIENTS):

Since our soldiers get points by taking 3 classes per week, we’re offering a special 3 Class Pack for only $60+tax! 

 

This class package expires on May 29th (the last day of Colour War) with no exceptions!

This package does not auto-renew. If a client wants to buy a 3 pack for each week of Colour War, they need to repurchase!

These classes cannot be shared or transferred. This will prevent anyone from transferring their spot in a class last minute to other members of their team  and allow any cancelled spots to be made available to the waitlist.
