Today we’d like to introduce you to Pete and Kylie Ilieski.
Pete and Kylie, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
As husband and wife living a healthy lifestyle has been part of our marriage and family. Finding ways to be involved with our community and helping to spread our love for fitness has always been a passion.
After taking classes at different indoor cycling studios downtown and falling in love with the workout we realized making the commute was not doable with our schedules and the idea started to sprout. There are local gyms that offer cycling class but none that offer the same overall experience as us. We wanted to bring the community a local studio where it isn’t just about the amazing workout but allowed them to find a bond and support that can truly impact their lives.
Both of us working full-time jobs and raising a family we knew opening up a brand new business would be tough work, but after many prayers and a bottle of wine, we decided it was the right move. After months of research, we came across a startup franchise out of San Diego called, Rush Cycle.
At that time, they only had three corporate locations and had just signed two franchisees for other San Diego studios. Rush Cycle had the same core values of community, and with them being at the beginning stages we knew we would have the flexibility to work with the Founders, Tim and Corey, to make Rush Cycle League City what we envisioned.
We were the Franchise’s first studio outside of San Diego Market and when our doors opened May 15th the magic spread through the community. Everything from our amazing front desk team, managers, and unbelievably talented instructors that go above and beyond to make everyone that walks in our door feels like family.
Together with our Rush Fam, as we call them, encourage and motivate each other to not only transform our bodies but their lives. We are beyond grateful that God put us along this path and brought so many amazing people into our lives. There are still days we walk into the studio and pinch ourselves at what Rush has become.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
In opening any new business or opportunity, you get what you put into it and working together as a married couple can have its own challenges.
We had to learn to trust each other’s capabilities from a professional aspect and to take time to celebrate achievements.
Our passion and love for this business and our clients is what allows us to push through those tough days and be excited about the future!
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Rush Cycle League City – what should we know?
Whether you are a beginner or an elite athlete, Rush provides the Clear Lake Area the most efficient cardio FULL BODY workout.
You feel right at home when you step into our studio with a non-intimidating and inspiring culture among Front Desk Staff, Instructors, and Riders. We believe the workout should be both fun and effective so in our room the lights dim, the music turns up, and it is time for the party on a bike! If you ask anyone what their favorite thing about us is they usually say the instructors!
At Rush, all of our instructors go through an extensive eight-week training program learning the ins and outs of our style. We actually like taking on people that have never instructed because it gives us a chance to build their talent and know they understand the riders viewpoint. Each instructor will inspire you to give your personal best and celebrate with you as you soar past your goals.
One of the other features people love is our Rush Ride Dashboard! After every class, you get a personal email showing your metrics helping you ride stronger and faster each time. People love seeing their ranking from a competitive side, but they also love that no one else knows where they are at so they don’t feel pressure from anyone else.
Best way to understand what makes us so different it so come to try us out. We always offer a free first class because we know once you experience Rush Cycle you will NEED to come back! Book your first free class with us at https://www.rushcycle.com/league-city-schedule.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
We moved to League City over ten years ago from Michigan and since day one fell in love with it. We love the southern hospitality, the never-ending summers and being so close to that water.
Living in Clear Lake Area has made us want to have an impact on the community and to continue to make it great.
Our goal, God willing is to expand Rush Cycle to the Friendswood/Pearland Area in the next 1-2 years to be on the lookout!
