New England Construction Completes Flywheel Sports® at Prudential Center Boston

RUMFORD, RI – What started as Flywheel’s simple idea of “making indoor cycling epic” has culminated with the construction of a new Flywheel Sports® location in The Prudential Center in Boston, Massachusetts.  The new location has been added to the list of 24 other studios located throughout the U.S. and Europe.

New England Construction was engaged to provide construction services to fit-out the vacant space at The Prudential Center in Boston.  The new space features a state-of-the-art  sound system for the playlists created by the in-house DJ, personalized tablet based performance logs and stadium-style seating. The spin gym features Flywheel designed and custom-made bikes tailored to offer added comfort and encourage maximum performance. It is also the only indoor cycling studio to use the TorqBoard, a proprietary performance-tracking technology used to track riders’ resistance (Torq), speed (RPM), and energy exerted (Power).  The large flat-screen monitors at the front of the studio display class leaders.  Comprehensive performance data is stored and made available to riders on their “My Performance Page” via the Flywheel website, so they can set goals and track their progress.

The New England Construction team worked closely with Boston Properties at The Prudential to ensure consistent communication regarding required shutdowns, delivery schedules and base building system integration. Proper care was taken to ensure the safety of patrons and to minimize noise disruption to the nearby tenants, including the ISIS child care facility who offer ‘Mommy and Me’ classes focusing on meditation and yoga.

Quality construction within the confines of the 2,800 square foot space was a challenge given the extremely tight space constraints, logistics and aggressive schedule. Due to lack of lay down area for trades, material delivery and handling was vigilantly coordinated as well.   “Our Superintendent Anthony D’Antuono and our team of subcontractors remained committed to meeting the demanding schedule,” notes Bob Lake, Project Manager.

The Flywheel Sports® location in The Prudential Center officially opened in early October. http://boston.flywheelsports.com/
