Training in Long Island (Nassau County)

Triathlon Forum
1

I’ll be spending next week with my in-laws in Bellmore, NY (south shore Long Island), and, unfortunately, I won’t be able to bring my bike with me. Does anybody know of any place I could possibly rent or borrow a road bike? Alternatively, are there local gyms where I could stop in for one or two spin classes during the week?

Also, does anybody know of a good sports massage therapist in the area?

Thanks in advance!

I have no idea, but Carl Hart cycling is a good resource. So is Long Island Tri Coach. Google for both will get you there.

Call Runner’s Edge in Farmingdale @ 516-420-7963 : The best massage therpist works there. His name is Bill Romas. The store is about 10 miles near the town you will be staying. The people in this shop are very helpful & super friendly.

Renting a bike I would try this bike shop in Wantagh which is about 3 miles from you off of Sunrise Highway called Brands.

As far as spin classes go the only gym I know that provides good classes is Golds:

You can get in with a free pass but make sure you are there an 1-1/2 hours before the scheduled spin class on Saturdays & Sundays…sign up is one hour before the class begins usually is filled to capacity.

Saturday spin starts @ 8AM with Sunday spin @ 8:30AM

Good luck.
