Give a brand new bike and helmet to a 2nd grader!
April 23, 2022 11am - 2pm
Wish for Wheels is a non-profit organization that gives brand new bikes and helmets to kids in 2nd grade in Title 1 DPS schools.
Vitruvian Fitness is hosting the build party right here at the studio and it's going to be a blast! It's been 2 years since our last event and the kids need our help!
April 23, 2002 11am - 2pm
OUR GOAL IS 150 BIKES!
Are you in? Can we count on you for your support?
Everyone is welcome – invite your friends!
Here's how it works:
- You purchase one or more bikes in the Wish for Wheels online store. A new bike and helmet are $150.
- You come to the build party to assemble the bike(s) you bought. Join your Vitruvian community and, if you like, bring friends, family, co-workers, etc. The more builders the merrier. All are welcome.
- These bikes are so simple to build, anyone can do it. There are only 6 parts and 1 wrench is all it takes to put them together. And we inspect each bike for safety!
- The week after the build party, you get the opportunity to give the bikes we build to the 2nd graders at the school we are supporting.
The build party will happen at Vitruvian inside the studio and outside in the parking lot. We'll have it roped off with tents to shield us from the rain or sun. Food, beverages, music, and good times will be part of the party.
Please ask all your questions, buy your bikes today, and get ready to change some lives.

How Vitruvian’s new partnership with DexaFit Denver helps you fight bone loss, build muscle, and personalize your fitness – starting with real data. Vitruvian Fitness has partnered with DexaFit Denver to bring you three powerful tools for assessing and improving your health: the DEXA Scan , VO₂ Max Test , and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test . These aren’t gimmicks – they’re scientifically backed ways to track meaningful progress in your training. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you're at a turning point where training isn’t just about looking better – it’s about aging better . As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed.” And just because that’s a relic from my corporate past doesn’t make it any less true. Like your annual bloodwork, these tests give you a snapshot of important health markers that offer direction, motivation, and a baseline to measure progress against. Here’s what each test measures: DEXA Scan – bone density, lean body mass, and visceral fat VO₂ Max Test – cardiovascular fitness and aerobic efficiency Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline)

How to create a cardio habit and turn it into a cardio lifestyle. We’ve talked about why cardio matters . You’ve got a handle on tr aining zones . And you’ve seen how we program your cardio training to maximize efficiency and results. But knowledge alone doesn’t build consistency. Cardio becomes the life-changing ingredient in your life when it becomes routine.
