Special Intro Teaser Class: The New "Threshold Ride", The New #totalrequestride, and The New "Ride Yogi Ride"

This morning was a special class indeed. The always amazing and high energy and beautiful Amy Rollman co-instructed the intro or "teaser" class that was made up of 20 minutes of the new "Threshold Ride", 20 minutes of the updated #totalrequestride, and then 20 minutes of yoga. What a lot of intense, different, challenging and fun things to do in one hour!

The new Threshold Ride will kind of take the place of the old Red Line Ride. It will not be heart rate based, but it will have a lot of information for the rider to soak up and learn so much about how the body works as you workout! We will be using the computers that are already on the new bikes along with the new huge 70" flat tv screens recently placed in the spinning room. In a nutshell, after a brief warmup, you will work as hard as you can for 3 minutes to set your threshold. Then, the rest of the class will be based on percentages of that threshold. You'll be able to watch and learn as you Ride, and then see some summary results that will enlighten you even more!

The new/updated #totalrequestride will be pretty much the same except that we will be including videos shown on the new huge 70" flat tv screens. Each week, 3 videos will be selected from requests all across the country and played in the #totalrequestride. Song or video requests should be tweeted to @crunchgym followed by the hashtag #totalrequestride. Each tweeted request enters the member into that week's drawing for an iTunes gift card!

Finally, another new class called Ride Yogi Ride will be introduced in the new year. Amy will be teaching this one and she is amazing! It will be a 45-minute Ride immediately followed by a yoga class in the group fitness room right next door to the spin room. How awesome is that?!

So thanks so much to Amy and everyone who attended this morning's teaser class. There were a few technical hiccups (and there will probably be a few more!), but I want to thank you all for supporting the Ride with Tommy! and Crunch Fitness - Sunset!

We will be offering another teaser class this Friday at 9:30am, too, so I hope to see you there!

In good health,
