Leading Audio Fitness App CardioCast Launches Spanish-Language Indoor Cycling Classes to Help You Build a Healthy Fitness Habit
Miami, FL — CardioCast, the highly rated audio fitness app for iOS and Android, today announced the launch of ‘Beats Español’ classes, a Spanish language version of its popular ‘Beats’ format of indoor cycling classes. These are the first classes that CardioCast has offered in Spanish and represent the brand’s initial steps towards creating a broader fitness offering for Spanish-language users.
“Our ‘Beats’ indoor cycling format is a community favorite, motivating riders with its unique blend of curated hit music and descriptive coaching that matches perfectly to the beat of every song,” remarked CardioCast, CEO, Doug Lotz, “it feels great to bring this rhythm-driven experience to our first Spanish-language classes, which will be backed by music from award-winning Latinx musicians.”

‘Beats Español’ classes are now available for all CardioCast subscribers via the CardioCast app. They feature playlists of rhythmically rich Latin and Pop hits. Each class is carefully crafted to keep riders motivated with easy-to-follow coaching cues that follow the beat and emotion of the music.
The new ‘Beats Español’ classes will be led by master cycling instructor, Javier Santín. Originally from Madrid, Spain, Javier is a veteran in the Fitness Industry. With a career as an educator spanning over two decades, he's responsible for training tens of thousands of instructors across the globe. Javier has served as senior educator, content creator, and talent manager for some of the most prestigious fitness brands such as Les Mills, Spinning®, and Stages Cycling.
After relocating to NYC in 2014, the only opportunities for Javier to teach in Spanish were when he was presenting or training instructors in Central and Latin America. Now, he is thrilled to be coaching the CardioCast community in his native language.
“It is an honor to be back serving the Spanish-speaking fitness community, this time in a format centered in what unites us all: spoken word in Spanish,” said Javier, “I could not be more thrilled to bring the language, the culture, the ritmo and sabrosura to the CardioCast community!”
CardioCast is excited to become a new source of high-quality, Spanish-language fitness content. “We’re thrilled to become a place where US Spanish speakers can access fun and effective workout classes,” said CEO Doug Lotz. “there’s not a lot of quality content available in Spanish from major US fitness apps, but we hope to lead the way in changing that.”

Fitness App CardioCast launches “Walk & Jog with Your Dog” classes
A whole new type of workout dials your daily stroll with your pooch up to the next fitness level – with help of the latest tech. Who needs a workout buddy – or a Peloton – when you’ve got a dog?
Miami, FL — A fitness app popular with walkers and joggers is now also the first app to unveil a series of unique new workouts inviting users to “Walk & Jog With Your Dog”.
An initial batch of three 30-minute workouts – with more to come – goes live this week on CardioCast, an audio fitness app that offers nearly 2,000 on-demand fitness classes, for everything from cycling and rowing to running, jogging, walking and yoga.
Make the most of your daily dog walks with workout classes designed for you and your pup.
There’s nothing new, of course, about getting some fresh air and exercise while you’re walking your dog.
“But what we’re doing is pumping it up to the next level and creating something more challenging and beneficial, with the help of the latest tech,” says Doug Lotz, CardioCast CEO.
Jonathan Carlucci, a New York City-based fitness coach and CardioCast’s VP of Content, has devised the new workouts, in collaboration with his dog Benji – a Puerto Rico-born rescue dog, who’s part Labrador and part Basenji.
(Benji even wears his own canine activity monitor, that tracks his number of steps, and has a personal step goal of 11,000 a day.)
So, what inspired the idea – which, like many great ideas, seems obvious once someone’s thought of it?
“Users of our regular Walk & Jog classes (devised just for humans), kept posting pictures of themselves walking and jogging with their dog”, says Doug Lotz, CEO of CardioCast. “They really get into it.”
We know, meanwhile, says Lotz, that having a workout buddy can be a big help for those who struggle with motivation.
“But who needs a workout buddy – or a Peloton – when you’ve got a dog?”
What advice would Carlucci give fellow dog-owners wanting to try the new workouts?
“You need to be conscious that you're the leader for your dog, in a much bigger way than when you're just following behind them on a regular walk.”
Other things you need to remember, adds Carlucci, are that it's a joint workout; that it should be fun; and that you know your dog best.
“So, if your dog is prone to chase squirrels or rabbits – or, like Benji, to stop and sniff things – you need to try and keep them focused on what you're doing.”
The coaches on CardioCast all select and curate their own music and build each workout around it, matching every move to the accompanying music.
Walk & Jog With Your Dog is just one of many workout formats on CardioCast.
For the new Walk and Jog with You Dog workouts, says Carlucci, he chose music with plenty of energy, combined with a good beat for the more intense parts of the workout.
The playlist for the opening class includes everything from Don't Start Now performed by Dua Lipa to Waiting For Tonight by Jennifer Lopez.
“Benji knows that the rule is that if he is going to bark or squeak,” says Carlucci, “then he has to bark to the beat, in time with the music.”
What did Benji think of the whole experience?
“He liked the constant attention,” says Carlucci. “He tried to take it into a run, which neither of us were going to be able to sustain.” But Carlucci made sure to bring plenty of water for him.
Benji also enjoyed the bodyweight exercises – the push-ups and lunges that Carlucci did on his own, while Benji observed. “Those sections gave him a couple of minutes to stop and sniff and lay down and relax.”
The new workouts might suit certain types of dogs more than others, says Carlucci.
“Medium and larger dogs are going to do well with this. With small dogs, you’re probably going to have to take things slower with them.”
The new classes are not just a one-time deal, says Lotz. “They’re a whole new category of workout – a new way to engage and work out with your dog on a regular basis.”
CardioCast may be starting with just three classes, each with a different playlist and workout program.
“But if people latch onto this, there will be many more. We may also add shorter or longer versions, depending on customer feedback, and additional coaches. There could eventually be dozens of these workouts – or more. This is just the start.”

Fitness App CardioCast Innovates with “Burn & Earn” to Pay You Back
Miami, FL — CardioCast, a leading audio fitness app, has introduced “Burn & Earn”, a novel way to stay motivated to work out during the new year. Burn & Earn rewards CardioCast annual subscribers with up to 50% of the subscription price back in the form of an Amazon.com Gift Card1 each month.2
