Come and Get Your "Ah Ha!"

People who teach, no matter what they teach, will always tell you about their love of the "ah ha!" moment. It's the moment when you are communicating with a student, and suddenly the torch is passed. They get what you're saying, and this knowledge is transformed into their own action. Ah Ha!

I have been fortunate to have had these moments in many venues: As a college instructor in the classroom trying to communicate sociological concepts. As an online college instructor, where it's a whole different ball game because what you write, not what you visually communicate, must facilitate the ah ha. As a certified Trikke Trainer, communicating with a new rider who may be unsure of their own body mechanics, or may misunderstand what these mechanics mean in getting the Trikke moving.

All of these venues have been very rewarding and they fulfill a core ideology for me. I believe that the spreading of knowledge is a gift. One to one or in a group --it is a gift. This past weekend Capital Trikke began our Capital Trikke Fitness Classes, in addition to our regular group and private lessons. In the fitness class we mixed lessons and workout, and I can tell you, there were many "ah ha" moments! Moments not just in technique but in.. "ah ha ..I didn't think I could do this much!" Then later a private lesson came, and the client was unsure of their own ability. Before the hour was up, they were thinking about their potential, and what goals for fitness they could achieve by the end of summer.

This is a wonderful experience! Come join us and see what we mean!

We want to bust your Trikke chops!

Those of you who were with Capital Trikke from its beginnings know that we were originally known as “Trikke Fitness.” This reflected our desire to focus on the Trikke as a fitness machine and our commitment to helping others reach their fitness goals through trikking. Riders have to become more fit, stronger AND technique aware, or the beauty of the Trikke as a fitness machine can be lost.

We look forward to continuing our absolutely cool Trikke road trips, and will continue to seek out and participate in great fun rides with our local and national Trikke family.

We return to our original focus…what we have been screaming about regularly--- Get on a TRIKKE and GET FIT! We want you to commit to coming to our weekly Capital Trikke fitness classes just like you might come to a spin class. We are offering 3 levels of classes designed for all levels of riders. We want you to work at your own pace but we want you to work HARD!

Level 1 Capital Trikke Fitness Class
For newer riders who will benefit from a combination of riding lessons and workouts. Primary goal is to ride the trikke for longer and longer stretches without touching the ground! Work at your own pace but work hard! We’ll have fun reaching this goal!


Level 2 Capital Trikke Fitness Class
For more developed riders who can maneuver the Trikke without difficulty through cones and around the random trainer! Riders should be able to ride for longer periods without interruption. In this level class we keep the riding constant with fewer breaks. You’ll be challenged by some obstacles and will combine strengthening exercises into your ride.


Level 3 Capital Trikke Fitness Class
For advanced riders who want to push their abilities to the limits! Sprints, repetitive inclines, and more advanced obstacle maneuvers on sidewalks are par for the course here! We’ll keep it moving so be ready to push!

Rental Trikkes are available!

Please check our website for info on classes designed to increased your riding ability, fitness (through Trikke cardio work and Trikke strength training), AND fun.
