Thanks to everyone who attended the Christmas Eve Sexy Second Wind Ride this morning! I had a blast!

Thanks to everyone who donated the shirts off their back (or at least brought clothing with them to donate to Out of the Closet Thrift Store operated by AIDS Healthcare Foundation!) I love when we combine working out so intensely with having fun and doing something worthwhile for others!

And special thanks to JJ, this morning's Sexy Santa! What a trooper! JJ is a good friend of mine who is also a personal trainer (so if you want to know more about training with him, just let me know!) He has an amazing body (obviously) and was kind enough to show it off this morning as Sexy Santa helped hand out the truO2 oxygen cans for the Second Wind Ride, collect clothing with his big red bag for Out of the Closet, and pass out free tan cards good at Sunstyle Tanning, Official Sponsor of Sexy Spin. Thanks so much, JJ! And if you weren't able to attend this morning, here's what you missed:



And once again, thanks to Sunstyle Tanning for the free tan gift cards, their continued support, and for being the Official Sponsor of Sexy Spin!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Be safe, have fun, and be grateful for your health!

In good and merry health,

Sexy Second Wind Ride! Wednesday, December 24, 2008

Have a heart!
Work your heart out!
Take the shirt off your back...and donate it to charity!

Sexy Spin and Second Wind Ride will become Sexy Second Wind Ride this Wednesday, Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th, 9:30am! We will take the best of both classes and combine them into one intense, form-focused, fun class that allows you to recover quickly with truO2 canisters of oxygen-enriched air and to sweat more, burn more, do more than you have before!

Wear a shirt to Sexy Second Wind Ride that you want to donate to charity. If you get it sweaty, I'll wash it before making the donation.
Of course, you don't have to take your shirt off. You don't even have to bring an item of clothing to donate. However, I would greatly it.

I will be making a donation of all clothing to Out of the Closet, the world's most fabulous thrift store which is owned and operated by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest specialized provider of cutting-edge medicine and advocacy regardless of ability to pay.







There will even be a visit by Sexy Santa! And there will be prizes!
All on Christmas Eve! Come be naughty and nice while working your heart out!

Bring a friend! Remember, if you or a friend are not a member of Crunch and want to be my guest for Sexy Spin, just let me know by midnight on Tuesday so that I can submit your name(s) to the front desk at Crunch.

There will not be a Sexy Spin on Thursday, Christmas Day, Dec. 25th as Crunch will be closed!

See you sexy and shirtless on Christmas Eve!

In good health,

tommy

Suunto Comfort Belt for Heart-Rate-Based Training for The Ride 2009

In the New Year, Crunch will be introducing a new heart-rate-based workout called the Red Line Ride. It requires a heart rate monitor to be worn which will allow you to monitor your heart rate during the class on a big screen behind the instructor (don’t worry, it will reflect a nickname, not your real name or bike number!) And at the end of class, you will be able to receive a printout or email of your own personal results of your workout in that class. I have already attended one training session for this new program, and I am very psyched about it! Crunch will be making a limited number of monitor belts available for each class, but if you are serious about committing to a new and more challenging program in the new year that will allow you to monitor your progress over time, then I highly recommend you try this class and even to purchase your own belt. As I’ve mentioned in class, if someone is looking for that perfect gift for you, then you might suggest the Suunto Comfort Belt (digital ANT) that works with the Fitness Solution (group monitor) that we will be using in class. I have found that it retails for about $70.00-90.00. Click here or on the image below to learn more!

I will be teaching the rest of my classes as scheduled:

Wednesday, 9:30am - SECOND WIND RIDE

Saturday, 9:30am - this week's highlighted class!

I hope to see you at as many of my scheduled classes as possible! Let's work out as much and as hard as we can so that we can enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday worry-free!

I also want to let you know about an event that I am hosting on Sunday, November 30th from 4:00-7:00pm at the Stone Rose Lounge in the Sofitel Hotel on Beverly Blvd. We are collecting toys for kids living in families with a parent living with HIV/AIDS. These are the thousands of client families served by APLA, almost all of them living below the poverty line, and this is the only toy drive benefiting these kids. Admission is at least one unwrapped toy. Click on the image below for more details!

VOTE NO ON PROP 8!

Today is Tuesday, November 4, 2008. It is Election Day. I hope that everyone gets out to vote. And, I hope that everyone votes to prevent adding discrimination to the state constitution. Prop 8 does just that, it writes discrimination into the constitution. Is this what our state leaders envisioned so long ago when writing our constitution? Everyone should have the same rights under the law. Currently, they do. If Prop 8 passes, only certain segments of the population will have certain rights. Others will not have the same rights and will be relegated to a "second class" status. So please, vote NO ON PROP 8 and keep discrimination out of the constitution! Regardless of how you feel about marriage for everyone, if you are a fair-minded person and believe in equality for all, then you can't allow Prop 8 to pass! Prop 8 is unfair! Prop 8 is wrong!

VOTE NO ON 8!

10-year Anniversary Spin - Thursday, October 30, 2008

I can't believe I have been teaching spinning for 10 years! I taught my first class at Todd Tramp's Bodysculpting LA (where Train is now on the corner of La Cienega and Melrose) on August 2, 1998. The top songs of that year were Brandy & Monica's duet, "The Boy Is Mine", Shania Twain's "You're Still The One", and LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live". The top-selling albums were by Celine Dion, Garth Brooks, the Backstreet Boys, Shania Twain, and the Titanic Soundtrack! The top movies of that year were "Saving Private Ryan", "Armegeddon" and "There's Something About Mary". I was coming to terms with who I was. I was struggling with my sexuality, and slowly but surely, I was coming out! At the time, I was General Manager of Todd Tramp's Bodysculpting which was just about the largest private training facility in Los Angeles. I had been studying under Todd Tramp, Andrea Lawent, and Debbie Rocker. I also approached Kendell Hogan about teaching at Crunch which had just opened recently. I was placed on the sub list and have been teaching there ever since. I now teach 6 days a week! I absolutely love it!

This Thursday, the usual Sexy Spin will be expanded (not replaced) to include special guests, prizes and even more excitement than usual! Don't worry, you will still get the same intense, form-focused, fun class that you have become accustomed to. I would never interfere with that. But, everyone in attendance will be leaving with something extra: a gift bag, tickets to Spring Awakening opening this week at the Ahmanson, free tans at Sunstyle Tanning (Official Sponsor of Sexy Spin), and more!

And I am also trying to raise awareness for two very worthy causes:

VOTE NO ON PROP 8!

I usually try not to bring politics into The Ride, but as this is the last Sexy Spin before the election next week, I have to encourage everyone to vote NO ON PROP 8! Prop 8 is an attempt to strip rights away from individuals. It would take away the right for gays to marry. I married my partner, Rich, this summer, and we now have two beautiful twin boys, Austin and Aiden. Prop 8 would take away the legality and rights of my marriage. I want everyone to have the same and equal rights under the law, without discrimination of anyone based on sexual orientation. So please, vote NO ON PROP 8! Click on the logo below to visit the website and learn more!



Open Artists With Open Arms

Guy B is an spin instructor here at Crunch, and he often subs my classes for me when I am out of town. He is an amazing instructor, but also an amazingly talented musical artist and performer! I often play his music in class. Guy is putting on an event Tuesday, November 11th called "Open Artists With Open Arms". It is a night of performances which will benefit LIFEWORKS which offers mentoring to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered youth. So please, support this event and the very worthy cause! Click on the logo below to visit the website and learn more!



Thanks to everyone who has taken my classes over the years. Thanks for your support. I couldn't do it without you. I love creating or "choreographing" the classes, putting the music together, and encouraging everyone to get the most out of their efforts while in class. If I didn't love it, I wouldn't still be doing this 10 years later!

So make plans to attend Sexy Spin this Thursday, October 30th as I celebrate 10 years as an instructor!

In good health,

tommy

Labor Day Spin! - 9:30am, Monday, September 1 at Crunch on Sunset

I will be back to my regular schedule tomorrow, Monday, September 1st, Labor Day at 9:30am. I am so excited to be back! Don't get me wrong, the 3 weeks I took off for my (un)official paternity leave was well worth it. I wouldn't have done it any differently. The time that Rich and I spent bonding with our boys was amazing, priceless, time that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. But I have missed all of you and teaching in general.

And I can't thank Guy B, Nick Oram and Jensen Rodney enough for subbing all my classes for me while I was out. Thanks guys! You rock!

I hope to see you all tomorrow morning before you head out to the beach or to the pool or to a barbeque. Let's get our spin on again!

In good health,

tommy

The twins have arrived! I am now (un)officially on paternity leave!

Well, the time is finally here. Rich and I are the proud dads of twin boys, Aiden Taylor and Austin Riley Vaughn Woelfel. Aiden arrived at 11:05pm on Saturday, August 9th. Austin was born just after at 11:06pm. Aiden weighed in at 6 pounds, 15.9 ounces and was 19 inches long. Austin weighed 6 pounds, 14.1 ounces and was also 19 inches long. I cannot begin to tell you how awesome, amazing, exciting and rewarding this experience has been!

While on unofficial paternity leave, I have arranged for the following subs:

Monday, 8/11, 9:30am - Nick Oram
Tuesday, 8/12, 7:00am - Guy B
Wednesday, 8/13, 9:30am - Nick Oram

Thank you all for your support of my classes and for the additional support of my journey to fatherhood!

In good health,

tommy

1. VOTE FOR GUY B ON LOGO ONLINE'S "THE CLICK LIST"!

Guy B's single "Within Me" has been remixed by world-famous DJ Manny Lehman and the video debuted at #1 on Logo Online's "The Click List"!

You know Guy B. He is an indoor cycling instructor at Crunch. He often subs for me (most recently, this past Monday!) I've often played his music in class. He is an amazingly talented artist (singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, etc.)

Show Guy B your support by voting for the video of "Within Me (Manny Lehman Remix)" by clicking here: Vote for Guy B!

If you want to buy Guy B's cd, "Within Me", click here: Within Me

2. ATTEND A POOL PARTY AND SUPPORT MARRIAGE EQUALITY!

My friends Clay and Dan are hosting a pool party fundraiser to support the efforts to prevent the Anti-Gay Marriage Bill (Proposition 8) from passing in this fall's California elections. Half of all donations will go to the Equality for All Campaign. The other half will go to the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Young Professionals Council to fund its programs and services.

DJ Michael Hockett will be coming out of retirement to spin his upbeat sounds at the party. So make an effort to attend!

I'm back! And it is so good to be back! Thanks to all of you for your continued support of my classes! And thanks to all of you for supporting the amazing instructors who covered my classes while I was on vacation! Thanks to Guy B, Nick Oram and Dollar Tan! I really appreciate it!

I will be teaching my regular schedule for the 4th of July holiday weekend, so I hope to see you:

Friday - 9:30am - Crunch
Saturday - 9:30am - Crunch

I hope to see you there!

In good health,

Vacation, Spinning Nation and Tuesday Mornings!

I will be on vacation from Thursday, June 26th through Tuesday, July 1st. I will miss you all terribly, but I have some amazing subs lined up for you:

Thursday, June 26, 7:00am, Sexy Spin - Guy B
Friday, June 27, 9:30am - Nick Oram
Saturday, June 28, 9:30am - John Terlingo*
Monday, June 30, 9:30am - Dollar Tan
Tuesday, July 1, 7:00am - Nick Oram**

*On Saturday, June 28th, Crunch will be having a special schedule. There will be only one morning Ride with John Terlingo at 9:30am. From 12:00noon til 4:00pm, Crunch will be hosting Spinning Nation (the largest one-day Spinning event in history!), a four-hour ride that benefits Cancer Schmancer, Athletes for a Cure, and the AIDS Research Alliance. If you can make it on Saturday afternoon, then try to help out these great causes! For more info, please click on the link to the right or on the logo below!

**Upon my return, I will be adding the Tuesday morning 7:00am class to my schedule! Rich's last day to teach this class was this past Tuesday, June 24th. He did a great job for the six months that he taught that class since January, but his work schedule required more and more time from him. And with the twins arriving at the end of July, well, let's just say that the idea of fewer time constraints on him (at least for the next month) appeared very attractive! So, in the interest of "keeping it in the family", I will take over the classes upon my return. We both appreciate Nick Oram for subbing the Tuesday July 1st class while we are on vacation!

I hope you all have a great week. Please stay committed to your workout routines. The instructors that will be subbing my classes are amazing! If you haven't been to one of their classes before, then you must give them a try!

I look forward to seeing you all when I return!

In good health,

tommy

A great big thanks to the two very hot men of reality tv, JD "Jesse" Jordan and Enrique Sapene who helped hand out the $100 gift certificates from Sunstyle Tanning to everyone who attended Sexy Spin this morning! JD is currently starring in Season 3 of Bravo's 'Workout' (Tuesdays, 10:00pm). Enrique is hoping to become the next telenovela star on VH1's 'Viva Hollywood' (Sundays, 10:00pm). I've known these guys for a few years now, and I have to say they are truly very nice, sweet guys who happen to be as sexy as hell! I can't thank them enough for being there and making Sexy Spin that much more fun and sexy! Thanks again, guys! To view their bio pages on their respective show websites, just click on their names and very sexy pictures here:

JD Jordan

Enrique Sapene

And another 'thank you!' goes out to Sunstyle Tanning for providing the free $100 gift cards to everyone who attended Sexy Spin this morning. No, not just the lucky one or two whose bike number was pulled out of a hat, but everyone who was there! That is awesome! I hope everyone that made it to class this morning had a great time, got a great workout, and gets a great tan from Sunstyle Tanning very soon! Be sure to click here or on their name and picture in the right column of my blog to learn more about them and to find out their exact location so you can get there as soon as you can to tan!

As for my track list, and very briefly so that I don't ramble on too, too long, I once again took some inspiration from Mariah Carey week on American Idol. I played Mimi's versions of David Cook's performance of 'Always Be My Baby' (awesome!) and David Archuleta's performance of 'When You Believe' (also amazing!) I'm feeling pretty confident that we will be seeing these two David's in the final two idol competitors! My friends and sometimes spinning clients, Richard and Sean, turned me on to Kelly Rowland's 'Daylight' (Thanks, Sean!) and the mashup of Amerie and Daft Punk's 'Take Control Of The Funk' (Thanks, Richard!) Michael Jackson's 'Jam' was one of the top vote-getters on this blog's last week's poll of favorite Michael Jackson songs to spin to. Spinning client Kristen requested Seal's 'Killer'. Finally, Taylor Dayne is performing at Jeffrey Sanker's White Party out in Palm Springs this weekend. She is actually playing during my good friend and amazing DJ Manny Lehman's set at the Sunday afternoon T-Dance, so I thought I'd play her most recent and current hits in class today. Manny has actually mixed some of Taylor's songs! So if you make it out to Palm Springs this weekend, be sure to stop by and hear Manny and Taylor make magical music together again!

Thanks again to each of you for your support of my blog and my classes, to JD and Enrique for being so beautiful and sexy (both inside and out!), and Sunstyle Tanning for being such a great Official Sponsor of Sexy Spin! Happy birthday, Ulrich!

In good health,

tommy

So I was honored to have 4 amazing instructors in class today: Kirk Allen (who teaches Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:00am at Crunch), Guy B, Nick Oram and Dollar Tan - all of whom I am so lucky to have sub for me often. They are a great group of guys, very talented instructors, and definitely (if I may be so shallow) easy on the eyes! And not only are they awesome instructors, they all have so much talent in other areas as well. Kirk owns his own company. Nick, in addition to being a model and host/spokesperson, is the marketing manager for Sunstyle Tanning (the official sponsor of Sexy Spin!). Guy B is one of the most talented artist/musicians around (check out his website here!) And Dollar is also a model and actor who is also an extremely talented dancer and martial arts specialist. A big thanks to these guys for being in class today, inspiring me and the riders around them, and for subbing my classes whenever they can! You guys rock!

Today's track list includes a new single by Paula Deanda which samples Pebbles's Mercedes Boy. I love them both! I also put in a little bit of a Phil Collins theme: two covers of his songs which sample him as well ('In The Air Tonight' by Tupac and 'Take Me Home' by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony), and a remix of 'Easy Lover'. I love Phil Collins! My favorite single of his is 'Against All Odds' which is the title theme to one of my favorite movies! I've also included another of Jeanie Tracy's songs, 'It's A Man's World'. You know how much I love her as I play 'Party People' by Alter so often - it is one of my favorite songs to run to! Her voice and the lyrics are so high energy you can't help but push yourself a little harder and faster! 'It's A Man's World' also features Bobby Womack. He is the artist mentioned in Mariah Carey's song, 'We Belong Together' ("I can't sleep at night when you are on my mind, Bobby Womack's on the radio saying to me: "If you think you're lonely now", Wait a minute this is too deep (too deep)") And I believe there is also a sample of a Donna Summer song in this mix which makes me love it even more (because we already know how much I love Donna! see previous post on April 5). Just as a little inside joke, after including 'It's A Man's World', I felt compelled to include 'Mad World' by Tears For Fears. Don't ask, I just thought it was funny...'man's world'...'mad world'...indulge me! After hearing Carrie Underwood sing the heck outta 'Praying For Time' with her own amazing and very unique arrangement, I thought I'd include George Michael's original version to cool down to today. My final track list note is in regards to Rick Astley. I'm guilty. I love Rick Astley! He hit it big back in the '80s when I was going to school over in Manchester, England. Just last week a came across a news item about 'Rickrolling'. This is where a link is described as leading to something very new, fun and exciting but instead takes you to a video of Rick's 'Never Gonna Give You Up'! Just recently on April Fool's Day 2008, YouTube linked all of it's front page videos to 'Never Gonna Give You Up'! Hilarious! So, see? Even when I play an 'oldie', I still keep it topical!

Well, thanks again for all of your support! I hope to see you in class soon!

In good health,

tommy

I am teaching at the West Hollywood Equinox tonight, Thursday, April 10th at 7:15pm!

Track List - Sexy Spin, Thursday, April 10, 2008

1. Seasons Of Love (remix) - Rent
2. Girl From The Gutter - Kina
3. Good And Broken - Miley Cyrus
4. All Around Me - Flyleaf
5. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (remix) - Whitney Houston
6. We Belong Together (remix) - Mariah Carey
7. Identified - Vanessa Hudgens
8. What About Now - Daughtry
9. Don't Stop (All Night) (remix) - Janet Jackson
10. Fly Like A Bird - Mariah Carey
11. Breathe Me - Sia

Okay, I just want to point out that Sexy Spin is something that I came up with almost 2 years ago to make class just a little more interesting and exciting for those that had to workout before work and when class was at 6:30 in the morning. It was intended to be just as intense, but a little more fun, silly, sweaty, sexy, etc. I figured I would make it worth hitting that snooze button one less time or two by encouraging all the hot, sexy, sweaty men in class to take their shirts off - something that I thought would make class a little more interesting for all the women and gay men in class! In turn, I figured the straight guys would love seeing the sexy women who loved seeing the sexy, shirtless men. For this, I obtained special permission from management at Crunch, but it is not officially recognized/sanctioned/promoted/encouraged by Crunch. It all started as a kind of underground thing.

Well, now that Sexy Spin has been moved to 7:00am, the numbers are increasing! More people are sweating, taking their shirts off, working just as hard, having more fun, and becoming more sexy - both mentally and physically! I can't tell you how much fun it is for me to see so many hot, sweaty, sexy bodies (both male and female!) working so intensely and having so much fun doing so! It inspires me! It encourages me to work harder to make class more challenging and more fun! However, as always, I thoroughly stress the importance of safety in class so that it is as challenging as possible to experienced riders, accessible as possible to newcomers, and the workout is as safe, efficient and productive as possible for everyone!

Crunch has asked me to make sure that everyone knows that this is the type of environment present in Sexy Spin. It is not for everyone. But if it sound like it is, then I encourage you to attend Sexy Spin on Thursday mornings at Crunch at 7:00am!

If you are not a Crunch member, send me an email or post a comment and I'll put all first-timers on my guest list! You can even stay after class and workout to see if Crunch may be the gym for you! If so, I can get you a special Sexy Spin deal!

If you would like to be on my weekly Sexy Spin email (with now famous 'visual motivation!'), post a comment with your email address, and I'll make sure you receive it!

This week's music for Sexy Spin was partially inspired from American Idol's 'Idol Gives Back.' One of my favorite parts of the show was Chris Daughtry's clip set to his song, 'What About Now.' I said it would make a great hill and wanted to use it asap! I loved Mariah's performance of 'Fly Like A Bird' as well as the idols singing 'Seasons Of Love' from Rent (one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite shows of all time!) I was so impressed by Miley Cyrus's performance skills on the show! I can't believe she's only 15! I loved her song 'Good And Broken', so I included it on this morning's track list, too. I found a great remix of Whitney's 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' (refer back to my fun, silly and sexy reference for Sexy Spin music!) And Kina is performing at Here Lounge on Sunday night (at my friend Tom Whitman's Stoli Music Series at Size Sundays), so I had to include one of my favorites by her, 'Girl From The Gutter'!

Okay, I've rambled enough. Thanks for listening. And thanks for your support of my classes. I hope to see you in the next one!

In good health,

tommy

Track List - Saturday, April 5, 2008

1. Stamp Your Feet - Donna Summer
2. Rock Wit U - Ashanti
3. Lollipop - Lil Wayne featuring Static Major
4. How I Feel - Kelly Clarkson
5. Touch My Body (remix) - Mariah Carey
6. Love In This Club - Usher featuring Young Jeezy
7. See You Again - Miley Cyrus
8. 4 Minutes (Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)
9. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough - Michael Jackson
10. Beat It - Fall Out Boy
11. Thriller - Stone Roses
12. Billie Jean - Chris Cornell

So, I opened with an as-yet-unreleased (thanks, d!) new single from Donna Summer (whom I love!) I saw her perform in Orlando last summer and she was off the hook! She performed in a light rain, and, yes!, she did sing MacArthur Park ("someone left my cake out in the rain...") She even had one of her guys standing behind her holding a little umbrella over her to keep her dry. Nothing was going to stop her from performing! Her show was followed by a spectacular fireworks show. So, I have to say it was one of my all-time favorite evenings!
Congrats to Mariah for moving ahead of Elvis to take sole possession of 2nd place in history for the most #1 singles as "Touch My Body" moves into #1 on the Billboard chart. She is just behind the Beatles who are in 1st place with 20!
And congrats to Madonna for also moving ahead of Elvis to claim 1st place in history for the most top 10 singles! "4 Minutes" with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland moves to #3 this week!
Yes, I have included a little "bubble gum" for everyone this week - Miley Cyrus's "See You Again". I had been hearing the song on the radio before I knew who the artist was. I thought, "That would make a great run!" When I found out it was Miley, well, I was hoping anyone in their 'tweens (or their moms!)that takes my class will appreciate it!
Finally, yes, it does appear that I have created a mini-tribute to Michael Jackson. Yes, it started a couple of weeks ago when David Cook covered Chris Cornell's cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". I love it! So then I heard Fall Out Boy's cover of "Beat It" on the radio and thought it would be a great run (which it did indeed turn out to be!) So after a little searching, I found Ashanti's cover of "Rock Wit U" and The Stone Roses's cover of "Thriller" which was surprisingly "lounge-y" and a great cool-down! Whatever you think of MJ, you can't deny his ability to make hits that last! So, here is my shout out to him!

Have a great weekend, and as always, thank you all for your support!

In good health,

tommy

Nick Oram to Sub The Ride at Crunch, Monday, April 7 at 9:30am!

I won an hour of personal training with Jackie Warner!

I was the lucky winner of the top raffle prize awarded at last Sunday's "Tan For A Cause" benefit hosted by Reality Cares and Sunstyle Tanning, Official Sponsor of Sexy Spin! The prize was a one hour personal training session with Jackie Warner, host of Bravo TV's "Workout" and the host of the "Tan For A Cause" program! The event raised funds and awareness for Stoked Mentoring. Jackie said she was going to kick my ass! I said, in turn, I could kick her ass as well in one of my indoor cycling classes. She said that would actually be a lot of fun. I'll keep you posted of the progress of this fitness challenge!
