WOW! I can't begin to describe how excited I am about this morning's class. Though there were a few bumps along the road in the preparation for this class, it all came together and because of all of you, it turned out better than I could have imagined! The turnout was perfect - a sold out class without turning anyone away! The music turned out to be so much fun (thankfully as I stayed up almost all night putting it together!) And the clothing drive resulted in an amount of clothes to be given to Out Of The Closet (operated by the AIDS Health Foundation) which was probably more than 3 times what was given the last time we did this. WOW! I can't thank all of you enough for your support of this morning's Special Holiday Sexy Spin and your continued support of the Ride with Tommy! You all make it so rewarding and worthwhile for me. I am truly blessed to be doing something I enjoy so much that is also good for so many of us. So again I say thank you, Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to you all!

Here are a few special thank-you's/shoutouts for their help in making the class a over-the-top success:

*my good friend JJ for being the amazing and truly Hunky Sexy Santa and a great friend (as well as an amazing trainer!)
*Kelly, manager of THE VEGGIE GRILL, who provided the $10.00 gift cards for EACH gift bag!
*Laura, manager of STARBUCKS, who provided the VIA packets for each gift bag!
*Chelsea, at ROCKSTAR, who provided the 8 oz. cola-flavored energy drinks for each gift bag!
*JOEY RUBINO, who provided the amazing gift pack given away in the drawing at the end of class (who is also an amazing trainer and instructor of Crunch's Tread Ride Bootcamp - Extreme on Wednesday's at 9:00am!)

and the two members who have overcome extreme personal obstacles to stay committed to their workouts and healthy living:

*BERGEN WILLIAMS - visit her blog, ONE BIG LIFE, to learn more about how she overcame Wilson's Disease and cancer and is now starting up her own vegan baking company, EATME COOKIES! She also donated 2 cookies for each gift bag!
*GLORIA EDEL, visit her blog, 4 LIVERS AND NO FUNERAL, to learn more about all that Gloria has conquered to become such a testament to working out, living healthy and having a positive outlook on life as well as information about the book she has written and about to publish soon! She also donated a signed copy of her unpublished novel for the end-of-class drawing!

Thanks to everyone! Merry Christmas! Happy holidays!

In good health,

tommy

Special Holiday Sexy Spin. Tomorrow. Thursday. 7am. Crunch. Give the Shirt Off Your Back to Charity!

Make plans now to attend the last Special Sexy Spin class of the year (actually the last Sexy Spin of the year!) tomorrow morning, Thursday, December 16th at 7:00am! Special guests, special music, prizes, and all kinds of good stuff! Someone said the other day that this is like Oprah’s Favorite Things. Someone else said that we need to rotate (on the new bikes!) and donate! I love it! However you look at it, you will still be able to get the same intense ride, while having even more fun than usual while having the opportunity to give to a great cause, while walking away with some great swag!

We’ll also be doing something a little different but completely appropriate for the season. We will be highlighting a couple of Crunch members who have overcome great difficulties and are not only surviving but thriving because they have chosen a healthy lifestyle. They are willing to share their stories and in so doing, I hope that we all will be inspired even more to be thankful for the health that we have and to commit even more to our own healthy lifestyles and workout routines!

And once again, we will experience the return of the “Give the Shirt Off Your Back (because it’s Sexy Spin after all!)” mini clothes drive! Bring some of your clothes that are nice but that you no longer use and share them with someone that needs them, especially at this time of year. And I’m thinking that a certain special sexy someone will be there to collect them! All clothes collected will be given to “Out of the Closet”, a chain of thrift stores owned and operated by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the largest specialized provider of cutting-edge medicine and advocacy regardless of ability to pay. Learn more about them by visiting their website now!

Hope to see you tomorrow morning for Sexy Spin at 7:00am at Crunch on Sunset!

In good health,

tommy

And thanks to so many people who showed up for both classes, whether you were doing a double (as so many of you were!) or if you were able to just take one of the two classes, it was amazing having you there! And thanks to everyone who took part in the Red Line Ride part of class. I hope everyone was able to see how their heart rates react to the different workouts that we go through during the Ride. Not only did everyone (hopefully!) get an intense workout, but I think everyone learned a little more about heart rate based training and how important it can be as a part of your overall workout program. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me, send me a comment, or catch me after class and ask me in person!

Looking forward to doing this all again next Saturday, the last Saturday before Thanksgiving! Have a great week!

In good health!

Free Spin Class with Jeremy at Updog Fitness Tonight! Half Price Class and Special Offer from Barry's Bootcamp!

Only 3 more days until Crunch is back open better than ever after having poured $1,000,000 into making it so much better based on your suggestions! I hope to see you in the 2nd Ride class offered in the “new” Crunch on Saturday morning at 9:30am!

Until then, I hope you have stayed committed to fitness and your own workouts. And I hope you have taken advantage of this opportunity to be creative in your workouts and come up with some alternatives to the usual to help keep you motivated or even inspired you to commit at an even higher level!

So, I hope some of you took advantage of the free spin class on Monday night at Updog Fitness.

Jeremy has assured me that he will be teaching tonight at 7:45, so I am making plans to attend. I hope to see you there! Come join me, won’t you?!?!

At this time, I’d also like to introduce you to another amazing offer from Barry’s Bootcamp! From today through Friday (the day before Crunch reopens!), you can take any 1 (one) class for half price ($10)! And you can also buy a series of 5 classes at $20 off or 25% off the regular price (that’s $65 instead of the usual $85)! I’m going to try to take one tomorrow afternoon, so email me or check my blog/facebook posts if you want to join me! Again, I hope to see you there! Come join me, won’t you?!?!

And I hope you were able to take advantage of the workouts Crunch provided at Runyon Canyon and Plummer Park. The complete schedule is posted below and on my facebook page.

Yes, this is the same track list as yesterday's class. However, because of the extremely limited number of people that take the same class at 9:30 one day and then at 7:00 the next (or vice versa), I will often play the same track list 2 days in a row as long as they are not at the same time period. And yesterday's birthday spin for Bergen went over so well (and for which I was extremely nervous!), I thought it was fun enough and sexy enough to use in Sexy Spin this morning. I hope everyone enjoyed it this morning as we did yesterday! But don't worry, I won't be playing it again tomorrow (Friday) morning as I will often do with the Thursday morning Sexy Spin track list. It will be something different, challenging, safe and FUN! Hope to see you then!

This morning's track list was a new one in honor of Bergen's 51st birthday! Happy birthday, Bergen! She requested Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love which kind of set off a rock theme. A friend had introduced me to a new German DJ's mashup site which included some rock mashups which ended up being perfect for today's class. I have to be honest, I was a little nervous as to how it would turn out, but thanks to everyone who worked so hard and appeared to have a great time doing so! And thanks to those who offered the compliments on the class!

I also want to give a special shout out to my friend, Blue Hamilton. I have known Blue for several years and never knew of his dreams to be a singer. Well, last week, he emailed me his first single and I have to say, it is amazingly beautiful! Thanks to Blue for letting me use it as a cool down this morning, and I wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors following his dreams!

$5 OFF GOTEIN PROTEIN TO GO!

Also for all of you that attended the Extra Special Sexy Spin class last Thursday, May 27th that promoted those riding in the California AIDS LifeCycle 9, you know that you received a free sample of Gotein Protein to Go! protein supplement drink. I am not getting a "kick back" or anything of the sort from this, it is just a product that I came across on the Yahoo home page a couple of weeks ago, kind of by mistake! I ordered the free sample, and then I got to thinking, this would be a perfect product to offer the riders in Sexy Spin! I was so impressed with the product primarily because protein shakes are typically somewhat time-intensive and involve a lot of clean-up. This product isn't and doesn't! You just open the packet and pour it into your water bottle, shake and drink! When I tasted it, I knew that they were on to something because it tasted great! So, I am excited about it, and just wanted to pass it along to all of you. If you drink protein shakes, here is an option for a quick, easy, simple product that may help you meet your fitness and dietary goals. If I can help you achieve your goals in any way, then I am happy!

If you want to order more, please click on the image below to visit the Gotein website. Follow the instructions to receive a free sample or to purchase an order. AND, as a bonus to Sexy Spin riders, you can receive $5 off your order! Just remember to enter the promo code CRUNCH! Each box of 12 packets usually costs about $25, so you can get yours for only $20! And there is free shipping when you order 3 boxes! Thanks to Gotein for supporting the Ride with Tommy! and the California AIDS LifeCycle 9!

FREE "YELLOW" PREVIEW TICKET!

For any of you that attended the Extra Special Sexy Spin class last Thursday, May 27th that promoted those riding in the California AIDS LifeCycle 9, you know that you received a free ticket to a preview of "Yellow", a new play by Del Shores.

Previews run through tomorrow night, Thursday, June 3rd. To receive your free ticket, please visit their website by clicking on the image below and following the instructions to purchase your tickets, just be sure to enter the promo code SPIN to receive your preview ticket free of charge! Isn't that awesome?!?! Thanks to Del and Jason for supporting the Ride with Tommy! and the California AIDS LifeCycle 9!

This track list is the second half of the Dirty Double Back-to-Back Red Line Ride that John Terlingo and I worked together on this morning to raise awareness to protect the whales. Our goal was to provide a double ride where members could get an amazingly intense longer-than-usual cardio workout while monitoring one's heart rate using the Red Line Ride technology and hopefully peaking not only one's physical fitness level but also the awareness of the opportunity to be environmentally responsible.

There is an international group trying to overturn the ban on whaling or killing whales for commercial or scientific purposes. To learn more and/or to sign the online petition to support the opposition of overturning this ban, please click HERE!

Thanks to everyone who attended this morning! Thanks to John for providing a motivational, inspirational, challenging and awesome Part 1 to the double ride!

Dirty Double Back-to-Back Red Line Ride tomorrow, Saturday, May 29th, 8:30am & 9:30am!

Extra Special Sexy Spin This Thursday, May 27, 2010 7:00am!

It's that time again where I put together a special class. It's sort of a "Thank you!" for everyone who regularly spins with me, but it is also a way to kind of mix things up and keep it exciting. Once again, the ride will be the same intense ride that you have come to expect. I will still focus on correct form. And I will, as always, play a variety of fun and motivational music.

However, this time and as always in these special classes, there will be special guests riding in class. I will play special music (even more special than usual!) And there will be gift bags for everyone in class. And we will draw bike numbers at the end of class to give away a few special prizes.

And as always, when we have this much fun, I like to bring attention to a worthwhile cause. This time, we will hopefully be raising the awareness of the California AIDS LifeCycle Ride to End AIDS! More specifically, I want to give as much attention and support to Crunch members, Ride with Tommy! regulars, and friends that are taking part in the ride.

Below, see the links to individual riders and the companies that have helped make the prizes and gift bags so awesome!

Okay, today is one of those rare occurances when I replayed the same track list from this past Thursday's class. I used to do it all of the time until I realized that many of those taking the 7:00am Thursday morning class also took the 9:30am Saturday morning class. So, since then, I have tried to mix it up more often. I really make an effort to NOT play the same track list 2 classes in a row (at the same time period). However, after asking by show of hands how many people were there in class today that were also there in class this past Thursday and determining that the number was rather low, I decided to play the same cd again. Besides, it was full of new music, I spent a lot of time putting it together, and I really enjoyed riding to it. I hope everyone else did!

See you in class next time! (and to a different track list!) ;o)

In good health,

tommy

Red Line Ride featured as a Case Study on Suunto's International Website!

As most of you who have taken one of my classes are aware, we are using a new technology from a company called Suunto in the Red Line Ride, a heart rate based training program currently offered at Crunch. Suunto is a world-wide company specializing in sports precision instruments that help athletes at all levels analyze and improve their performance. Crunch was the first place in the world where this program was offered as part of an indoor cycling class.

If you haven't heard, the Red Line Ride is where you can purchase or loan a heart rate monitor from Crunch, wear it during a Ride (indoor cycling) class, and see your heart rate projected on a screen at the front of the class (under a nickname so no one else has to know exactly what you are doing!) It is an excellent way to see how your heart rate is really affected by the activity that you are doing during a Ride class. You can see your heart rate go up and down. You can see the zone or percentage range of your estimated maximum heart rate in which you are working. You can get an idea of how many total calories you burn in a class.

Suunto recently contacted me and had me provide them with answers to their questions as well as my opinions on how the program was going. Suunto has featured this information about Crunch's Red Line Ride as a case study on their website. Be sure to check it out to learn more about one of the most exciting classes currently offered at Crunch on Sunset!
