This morning's #totalrequestride was full of videos! We usually play just 3, but this morning we doubled our fun and played 6! So for those that LOVE the videos, "Yay!" For those that don't really care for the videos that much, "Well, I'm sorry." The 3 top requested videos submitted to @crunchgym and #totalrequestride, were Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money Mo Problems", Madonna's "Material Girl", and Pitbull's "Time Of Our Lives". I also had Crunch Fitness - Sunset rider, Glenn, request Neon Trees' "Animal" and Britney Spears' "Womanizer", both great songs and videos. Crunch Fitness - Sunset rider, Jefferson, submitted several requests a couple of weeks ago for cool downs. This morning, we played the Maribou State remix of Fatboy Slim's "Praise You", which made me think of how much I love the original version as a great jog. Thus, we here the original in class as well! I also want to mention that a hot new artist, Steve Grand, is about to release his debut album. You probably know him from all the news that surrounded the release of the video for his single, "All-American Boy". Back on the July 4th weekend in 2013, Steve's video hit Youtube and became an instant sensation. He was labeled the first "out" gay country artist, though he didn't really fit into any labels at all, not really country, and like so many of us, not just "gay" but so much more! Well, after almost 2 years of work on his album, the time has finally come! For his Kickstarter backers, we were able to download his album a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't wait to play some of his amazing music. His album is available for pre-order on iTunes now! And it is already #14 on iTunes alongside Madonna, Kelly Clarkson (who has the Number 1 album on Billboard this week!), Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, etc. This is all so exciting! So check him out if you haven't already. And thanks to everyone who joined us in this morning's #totalrequestride. Be sure to tweet your requests to @crunchgym followed by the hashtag, #totalrequestride, for next weeks class! Can't wait to see you then! In good health, tommy

Today, we had one of the all too rare occasions where Crunch Fitness - Sunset had a very special class to help raise awareness and funds for an amazing cause, Augie's Quest. This is an organization that Crunch has teamed up with for several years now to raise much needed money to help fight and hopefully find a cure for ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. Members were asked to visit a special website created just for this partnership, http://www.loveyourmuscles.com to reserve a spot in class. Each reservation required a $35.00 donation, 100% of which went directly to Augie's Quest! I was fortunate enough to be one of the 3 instructors that led this class as a team. I worked with the amazing Amy Rollman and Matt Conrad! We each taught for 25 minutes (hence my shortened track list above!) for a total of a very special 75-minute class! It was awesome! We had a great time putting this together, and I believe everyone who showed up and took part in such an amazing event, left feeling thoroughly exhausted from the work out and/yet uplifted and positive due to the great cause that was the reason for the occasion to begin with!
