Ever tried spin? Martha’s classes at Pedal Works in Kingston, Ontario are the best of the best!

Challenging (in the best way), intentional, adaptable (to all needs and levels), and science backed. We ride like we are training for the outdoors, and gosh am I excited to get out for a ride after we finish aerobic base training, then strength training!!

Join us. $50 for a 2 week unlimited pass.

Train With Purpose at Pedal Works Café & Studios

At Pedal Works Café & Studios, we don’t just work out—we train with intention.

Our indoor cycling program follows a progressive, periodized training approach designed to build fitness safely and sustainably. Every year begins with aerobic base building, focusing on breathing, pedal stroke, alignment, and mental focus. From there, we gradually add strength, muscle endurance, and higher-intensity intervals so your body is prepared, without unnecessary stress. Our memberships offer FREE studio II classes that are designed to balance the work done on the bike by focusing on flexibility, mobility, balance and core work. By combining these two areas we can ensure a well balanced program.

By spring, our riders are strong, confident, and ready for outdoor riding, touring, or simply feeling better in their bodies. During the summer we encourage to maintain by keeping two rides a week, with one dedicated to recovery.

No matter when you join, you’ll experience a level of education, safety, and thoughtful programming you won’t find anywhere else in Kingston.

✨ Join us in 2026 and do more than work out, let’s train together for strength, safety, and real results.

This exploratory study examined the validity of clinical forms, specifically the Social Communication Checklist (SCC), a MTW program-specific form, already completed as part of the standard delivery of the More Than Words® (MTW) program. It looked to explore whether this clinical data would reveal distinct clinical and outcome profiles in real-world contexts, finding that it effectively correlates with other validated communication tools. The results indicated that most children experienced positive changes in social communication post-program, and distinct communicative participation profiles emerged based on their pre-program SCC stages. The study highlights the potential of program-specific clinical forms to enhance understanding of social communication development in real-world settings.

Curious to read the full paper! I have found functional and family friendly assessments and interventions to be the most impactful.

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME) are promoted as innovative neurorehabilitation methods for children with neurological disabilities, yet both rely on outdated reflex-hierarchical models rather than contemporary motor learning principles. A review of the literature reveals that CME, despite 5 decades of use, is supported only by a few case reports and 2 small, biased comparative studies. DMI, introduced in 2021, has no published empirical evidence beyond a single conference abstract. Families often pay thousands for intensive, noncovered therapies that may displace meaningful participation in education and social life. Therapists have a professional responsibility to avoid legitimizing unproven practices and to prioritize interventions supported by robust evidence. Pediatric rehabilitation should shift toward child-led, functional, and task-specific approaches grounded in modern motor learning science, with professional bodies and insurers withholding endorsement of nonevidence-based methods.
