As temperatures rise, so does exhilarating news from Bolthouse Properties’ latest development, Belcourt Village. Last month, Belcourt Village opened the destination lifestyle center with Starbucks, and will soon welcome Pilates Barre and Electric Cycle Studio.

The ownership team members at Electric Cycle Studio are all Bakersfield natives that provide a unique blend of instructor, rider, and business points of view. Patrick and Ashlee Bailey are a husband-and-wife team that developed the concept of Electric Cycle Studio; Patrick brings his financial knowledge and background for the behind-the-scenes work necessary to bring Electric’s vision to life. Ashlee’s experience as an avid rider allows the team to build a tailored experience unique to the member’s perspective. Kathy Burgos is the key ingredient in delivering high-energy spin classes to beginners and cycling enthusiasts alike, where the experience is everything. She has been spinning for ten years, with five of those being up on the podium as an instructor. They believe that the combination of these diverse perspectives will transform our community’s fitness through powerful spin classes at Electric.

“Our passion and drive to provide the community with a space that leads curated spin classes in an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere is the foundation for our vision. Our decision to remain locally owned is strategic,” says Ashlee Bailey, owner.

Electric Cycle Studio’s rhythm-based, indoor cycling classes may look like a leg-focused cardio workout, but it’s so much more than that. From arm weights to mental fortitude, your mind, body, and soul will be energized, connected, and well taken care of. The low-impact workout each class provides allows riders to choose their intensity and modify it as needed. Electric Cycle Studio will have multiple options for the community to experience the good rides and electric vibes of their studio.

“We are ecstatic to be opening our doors to the community and remind everyone that they can do hard things. We want you to feel welcome upon entry, powerful while riding, and energized as you leave. Electric Cycle Studio will empower and elevate everyone who steps through our doors,” adds owner Patrick Bailey.

As Phase 1 of the construction completes, Bolthouse Properties looks forward to commencing construction of Phase 2 later this summer. “There’s a lot of buzz in anticipation of what is to come at Belcourt Village! We’ve been specifically focused on local eateries to support the new tenants and growing community and are excited to welcome Blue Elephant to Seven Oaks next Spring. Their addition will provide neighboring residents and businesses an alternative sit-down dining option right in their backyard,” says Executive Vice President of Development, Bruce Davis.

Over the coming months, as the community begins to enjoy the new offerings at Belcourt Village, expect to hear more exciting revelations about Phase 2. For the latest developments on Belcourt Village, visit online at vjsandbox.webmarkdev.com/.

The week, the neighborhood Starbucks opened at Belcourt Village (corner of Buena Vista Road and Park Square Drive). We’re looking forward to more businesses opening later this summer!

Bolthouse Properties is excited to announce this month marks the opening of Phase I of the coveted Belcourt Village to the Seven Oaks community! When complete, this destination lifestyle center will span 9.5 acres encompassing eleven separate structures woven together with meandering walkways, gathering spaces, and lusciously landscaped common areas.

Phase 1 tenants include Starbucks, which will open this month, followed by local businesses Electric Cycle Studio and Pilates Barre in June.

“When I decided to open a studio, I knew I wanted it to be more than just a studio. I wanted to create a community and an environment that encouraged people to come as they are. I wanted to create a space that bridged the gap between small boutique studios and big chain types. A place where people could come and escape the outside world for a moment and rejuvenate their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. And that is what our members will find when they walk through the doors of Pilates Barre,” reflects owner Irene Clancy.

Pilates Barre will provide low-impact classes, which over time can help the body change and grow through movement. These classes are designed to build strength while increasing flexibility and mobility. The studio will be led by Irene, herself who has taught more than 3,000 classes to date!

The site will feature two separate studios with two different offerings that will allow Pilates Barre to provide members with a wider class variety and greater flexibility in time. While Studio A will
house their 10 Pilates reformer/tower beds, Studio B will serve as the Fit Room.  Here members will find modern, energetic, and endlessly creative classes such as barre, PHIIT, TRX cardio, dance HIIT, yoga, and more! Additionally, there will be a Recovery Lounge with self-serving deep tissue massage rollers with the option of infrared lights, aimed at helping cells regenerate and repair, promoting faster healing and overall wellness.

“As fellow Seven Oaks residents, it was important for Irene and her husband, Scott, to open their studio within the community they live in and have raised their family. This embodies the live-work–play lifestyle Bolthouse Properties has created within the Master Plan of Seven Oaks. We are thrilled to welcome Pilates Barre and look forward to their opening,” says Bolthouse Properties Executive Vice President of Development, Bruce Davis.

Next month, we will look closely at Electric Cycle Studio to learn more about its offerings. For the latest developments on Belcourt Village, visit online at vjsandbox.webmarkdev.com/.
