Thanks to the many of you that were in Sexy Spin this morning working out, working up a sweat and working toward reaching a goal. Some of you may not realize that everyone in class is working toward a goal. It is probably different for everyone. But no matter what the goal is, no matter how big or how small, everyone's goal is so very important. It is so important that I also feel it is a very important responsibility of mine, the instructor, to provide the best opportunity and environment for each of you to accomplish your goal. Your goal could be a big and visual goal such as losing 25 pounds. It could be a simple and mostly internal goal such as pushing yourself a little harder, or focusing a little more on proper form. Regardless of the individual goal, it is also so very important to remember that we are all part of a group. And the best way for as many of us as possible to reach our goals is to work together. No, we do not have to do the exact same thing at the exact same level at the exact same time. In fact, the amount of commitment to the Ride is dependent on many things, but especially one's own experience and fitness levels. You often hear me say that how much or how little you commit to the resistance level, the speed of the pace or the particular movement at the time is up to you. And indeed it is. But it shouldn't be up to you to decide whether you want to do the workout provided by the instructor or not. As the instructor, I have chosen each song for it's beat or its rhythm, I have planned out what movement goes best with that rhythm. I have chosen the particular challenges throughout the class so that the class offers a variety of obstacles for you to overcome. A variety so that you won't be bored. A variety that allows you to spike your heart rate and then do some active recovery before spiking your heart rate again. I believe it is this type of class that provides the best way for you to achieve your goals. And that is what I want for as many of you as possible to get from one of my classes. An intense Ride to a fun variety of movement and music that passes by quickly and allows you to feel accomplished at the end of class. A Ride that creates an energy that pushes and challenges you but also supports and encourages the riders around you. It is only then, that we can all accomplish so much. It is not when someone is sporadically doing their own movements and workouts which instead is a complete distraction to the people around you and creates a different kind of energy altogether...a negative energy. So I am often asking for your commitment in class. I'd also like to ask for your trust. Your trust in my ability to provide a class with many opportunities and the correct environment to allow you to accomplish your goals. Your trust in my leadership and experience from being an instructor for almost 16 years that will provide an intense, challenging and safe Ride that will indeed move you closer to obtaining your goals. It is an honor to have the opportunity to be an instructor and provide you with the chance to make a change. A difference. A positive difference. In your workout. In your outlook. In your life. Yeah, it is kinda that big. I am honored. I am committed. I am dedicated. I am grateful for this opportunity. Thank you. In good health, tommy
