Well, in the spin room @crunchgym on Sunset, it gets pretty hot inside as well! Especially when it is the Ride with Tommy!'s Sexy Spin! Hot! Sweaty! Breathing heavy. Burning calories. Strengthening muscles. Increasing lung capacity. Increasing overall cardiovascular fitness. And every Thursday morning, we take our shirts off. That's right. We work hard to feel good about ourselves. We work harder to sweat more and to feel more free. Free to move. Free to care less about preconcieved notions as to what we are supposed to do. Free to push ourselves more than we thought we could. Free to help build up positive energy in the spin room by staying committed, keeping focused, and working hard! And then taking our shirts off! That's right. Sexy Spin. For those who want to work hard. Sweat a lot. Not be afraid. Make a positive difference. Sexy Spin. Every Thursday morning at 7:00am. @crunchgym on Sunset. Hope to see you there soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

We are back and running full force for the fall! The kids are back in school; there is a nice crispness in the air; Starbucks is officially serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes (#therealpsl)! Wait, it was over 100 degrees in parts of Los Angeles today. Something is not right here. Well, at least the kids are in school and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back! At least we can still plan our days at the beach...probably still for the next month or two! So, with that still being a possibility, let's keep our beach bodies on point! That's right, don't lose all that you have gained while getting in shape for the peak of this pool party period. Or don't gain back all that you worked so hard to lose! Whatever your goals have been for the summer, don't let the hint, the possibility, the threat of fall weather approaching allow you to lose sight of those goals! Hey! Get this, you could also use this time as a time of renewal. A starting point for new goals. A fresh start. Wipe the slate clean. Begin again. Remember, being healthy is not a fad. It is a lifestyle. Not something to focus on temporarily and then forget. Let's take this time to stay committed, stay focused, stay determined to maintain a healthy way of life. New year resolutions in January? Goals for spring break? Beach body for the summer? How about providing a change in your workout while still fervently focusing on physical fitness in the fall? Work hard for the mental and physical health and well-being that comes along with a fit body and mind! Let's do this! Let's keep improving! Let's keep working intensely, staying focused on form, and having fun! Be a part of the Ride with Tommy! Beginners welcomed. Experienced riders challenged. And everyone in between contributes to the overall success of the class! Threshold Ride on Mondays at 9:30am and Saturdays at 9:45am. Peak Performance Ride on Tuesdays at 7:00am. #totalrequestride on Wednesdays at 9:30am. Sexy Spin on Thursdays at 7:00am. Regular rides on Fridays at 9:30am. Lots of opportunities to make a positive difference or a positive change. In this morning's #totalrequestride @crunchgym on Sunset, I took requests for favorite videos from the floor! Yes, as I couldn't predict every video that would be requested, I had to use Youtube. So yes, there were once again some commercials to which we had to listen. Thankfully, some of them were for new music! But we also had to contemplate how our insurance broker was treating us and if we were in good or the right hands! Oh well, thanks to those that were not shy and requested videos! Taylor Swift! Justin Bieber! Duran Duran! Demi Lovato! It was awesome! I hope to see you in class soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

Nothing like a commercial popping up in spin class! Yup, that's what happened today @crunchgym on Sunset! I was having some technical issues at home downloading videos to play in this morning's #totalrequestride. So, I thought, no big deal. I'll just play them directly off of Youtube during class. Well, there are several reasons why playing videos directly off of Youtube are less than ideal in a spin class, but the absolute worst has to be the occasional advertisement that is played at the beginning of every other video played on Youtube. Sure, you can skip some of the ads after 5 seconds. But needless to say, that doesn't do anything to contribute to the smooth and continuous play of music that is desired in an effective spin class. And I'm not even going to mention the fact that the commercial is for pizza! Ugh! True story! Oh well, you live and learn. And by being a part of a spin class, you will live longer. In my classes I hope every rider learns a little more about their body. A little more about how to workout properly. A little more about their goals and how best to reach them. So yes, we live and learn. It is my goal that in every Ride with Tommy! class, that everyone learns more about what can actually add to your length of life and to make that added time healthier and happier. So, I guess this is actually an advertisement for the Ride with Tommy! Not one for pizza, but an ad for a way to live longer, happier and healthier. That's all there is to it! That's all you have to do! See you in class soon! Until then...in good health! tommy

Thanks to all the energy and dedication to making a positive change that each of you riders brought this morning! Great ride! Great focus! Great results! I know it is cliche', but as they always say, you get out of it what you put into it. And if you really want to change your body, change the way you workout, change the way you see or feel about yourself or even just maintian your current health status, then you must focus on putting as much into the workout as you can. You must dedicate your energy into making that change...with each and every pedal stroke, each and every turn of the resistance knob, each and every heartbeat, each and every breath. You can do it. You just have to put your mind to it. And in the Ride with Tommy!, I hope you have a little fun while doing it!

I am always amazed by the energy, commitment and dedication exhibited by the riders in my 7:00am classes! It is early. Many are still asleep. Nice and warm in their cozy beds underneath soft, comfy blankets. Others may be just making their way to stand in line at their nearest Starbucks for that all too necessary shot of caffeine. Others may be rumbling out of bed and their houses to take Fido for their early morning walk. Whatever the case may be, everyone present in the 7:00am Ride with Tommy! classes, Tuesday's Peak Performance Ride and Thursday's Sexy Spin, have already gotten all of their morning duties out of the way and made it on their bikes to fully commit to making a change in their lives. Whether it be working out harder to get more and better results, or being present and committed to clear their minds of morning fog or unwanted intrusions so that they will be ready to face the day, their jobs, their list of things to do, their family and friends with a positive outlook and hope for a better existence. Or maybe it is just to maintain their status quo, and I'm not saying that in a bad way. It is perfectly okay to be in maintenance mode. If you have completed your goals and are happy with the way that you are, it is still necessary to make that commitment to stay at that perfect place. And whether you are just starting out with spinning and trying to introduce yourself to the commitment it requires as well as the benefits that it serves, or you are an experienced rider that knows that it takes that extra something to make that extra difference, the 7:00am Ride with Tommy! classes are full, fun and physical. Challenging. Intense. Focused on form. Set to a soundtrack of both the latest and oldest hits that are perfect for motivating you when you need it. If you haven't been to a 7:00am Ride with Tommy! class, make plans to be there soon. I look forward to riding with you! Until then, in good health! tommy

Just over a week ago, I reached the benchmark of being a spin instructor for 17 years! I taught my first class on August 2, 1998 at Todd Tramp's Bodysculpting LA. Now, I'm teaching exclusively at Crunch Fitness on the world famous Sunset Strip. Wow. I can't believe I'm still teaching. I can't believe I still LOVE teaching. I can't believe I am still passionate and grateful for the opportunity to help others reach their goals, to help them improve their mental and physical health. I am humbled that those that ride with me entrust me to help them on their journey. I don't take this responsibility lightly. When I see riders working so hard to obtain their goals, it motivates and inspires me. And as an instructor for so many years, it is vital to keep yourself motivated and inspired. It is extremely important to enjoy what you do. If you are motivated, inspired, committed to making a difference, and love what you do, then you will be successful. We all go through tough times in life. That is life. Speaking from personal history, spinning can help you through difficult times. It can help you get through rough times in life, and it can help you through rough times in your workout regimen as well. Mine is not your typical spin class. I emphasize form and commitment. I make class accessible to beginners yet challenging for experienced riders. I strive for intensity, and I want you to have fun! How can all this be accomplished in one class? Come and check out one of my classes. I'll show you how. We'll experience this journey together. We can make a difference. We can make a change. One pedal-stroke at a time. I've been doing it for 17 years. Won't you join me? In good health, tommy

Have fun while you work out! That is a goal of each of my #totalrequestride classes @crunchgym. We play fun, high energy music videos at the beginning of class each week. Just to get the blood pumpin', the energy up, the bodies warmed up and ready to work out! Then we get down to business and focus on the work! I try to include fun in all of my classes here at Crunch Fitness - Sunset...even while we focus so much of our energy on the intensity and the work. To make the time that you are struggling go by so much faster! Instead of getting all bogged down in the weight of what you are supposed to do and what you are supposed to be accomplishing, I feel it is crucial to lighten things up a bit at the same time. So that you don't get frustrated. So that you don't get bored. So that you don't quit. The music is usually the primary catalyst for adding the fun. But even a quick, light comment to make you smile or even laugh can provide that slight, brief, momentary "distraction" - not from the form, pace, resistance or movement - but from the intensity of the challenge. Just for a split second. Just for fun. Just to change things up a bit. And if you can smile while you work out, then I think that's all the better! Of course, none of this is to take away from the necessary work! In no way is this intended to mean that my classes are too light or too much about the fun or even just for beginners! Absolutely not! It is my job as the instructor to create a class that is accessible as possible to beginners but at the same time, as challenging as possible for the experienced riders! Yes, I love to welcome newcomers to class and I feel it is extremely important to spend a little extra time helping them get set up correctly as well as to teach them proper form. I want them to get as much out of their first classes as I want experienced riders to get out of theirs! I want newcomers to come back and eventually be experienced riders! So I feel it is my job to do as much of this as I can in each of my classes. I feel it is vital for me as an instructor to welcome, help, train and challenge those new to spinning as well as it is to push the he!! out of those that have been spinning for a while! And of course, adding a little levity to the process to help everyone get results and have a good time is also a requirement for me. I want to make you sweat! I want to make you smile! I want you to make those changes in your mind and in your body that you are so willing to work so hard for! So come and work out and smile in the Ride with Tommy! Hope to see you all in class soon! Until then, in good health! tommy

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night..." Los Angeles rarely gets snow, and we are certainly in desperate need of rain, but we got some this morning! Lightning, thunder and rain! It was so nice! But yet, that didn't stop so many of you from trudging through it all and making it to class! You guys were awesome! And I guess we could add "...nor technical difficulties!" as once again, we ran into some technical difficulties...this time trying to start the Threshold Ride program. I am so sorry that the program wasn't working this morning, but I am so grateful and impressed by those of you that stayed and continued to work hard and achieve your goals! Impressive. Inspiring. Dedicated. Challenged. Focused. Results-oriented. I can't state accurately or often enough how I am continuously impressed by your dedication and commitment. I ask for commitment in class and I get it back in droves! And when so much can get in the way (i.e. the rain, thunder, lightning, technical issues, etc.), it is always so nice to see that the heart and passion of you riders overcomes it all. Wow. Color me happy. Impressed. Humbled. Inspired. So I look forward to seeing you all next time! Until then, in good health, tommy

I am so excited about this morning's track list! The Ride with Tommy!'s Sexy Spin @crunchgym - Sunset was full of special music including several that had a very personal connection with me. Todrick Hall @toddyrockstar just released his new single and video, "Low" which is so great and so much fun! Todrick, a Crunch member, is one of the most multi-talented people I know! If you haven't yet, check out his many YouTube videos! Crazy talented! And speaking of crazy talented, it happens to be the amazingly talented @DebbyHoliday Debby Holiday's birthday today! She is one of the most beautiful people inside and out! I have loved and played her music for a long time in my classes, and today I played her most recent single, "Lift". Happy birthday, Debby! Finally, I am a huge fan of Giorgio Moroder's music. Yes, he was a huge hitmaker in the 70s and 80s including songs by Donna Summer (Last Dance, MacArthur Park, No More Tears, I Feel Love), Blondie (Call Me), Irene Cara (What A Feelin'), Limahl (lead singer of Kajagoogoo's solo hit, "The Neverending Story"), and Kenny Loggins (Danger Zone). Well he just released his first album in over 30 years and it is amazing! He has produced songs featuring the vocals of Kylie Minogue (Right Here, Right Now), Sia (the title cut, Deja Vu), Britney Spears (a remake of Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner) and more! I hope all of you had as much fun riding to this morning's track list as I had putting it together. Thank you as always for your support and for trusting me with the opportunity to help you change your body, improve your physical and mental fitness, and reach your personal fitness goals. It is an honor that I do not take lightly! So feel proud of what you accomplished in class this morning, share the positive energy that you created in class with people that you encounter throughout the day, and make plans to do it all again! In good health, tommy

And I'm honored and humbled to be a part of your workout routine. Knowing that you have to make a huge commitment to maintain your health and to reach your fitness goals, I am so very grateful! And we had a blast doing some shakin'...shakin' it off...shakin' our groove thing...shakin' our tailfeathers! All while making our heart throb at an increasing rate! And then letting it fall slowly during the cool down as you treat yourself to that time where we bring our heart rates and breathing under control and stretch to increase our flexibility. When you believe you can make a difference, guess what? Yes you can! Thanks for being a part of Crunch and the Ride with Tommy!'s #totalrequestride!

Well the new Peak Performance Ride is off to a strong start on Tuesday mornings at 7:00am @crunchgym - Sunset! Now don't let that fancy title scare you off. Like I have been saying in class, the class is not really that much different from what you are used to. However, we are slowly introducing a little bit more resistance work a little bit at a time. The idea is to more accurately simulate an actual road ride that incorporates true hills. And to make it even better, we have the new technology that allows us to see or monitor our workouts on huge, big-screen tv's at the front of class. You can see a number that represents the actual power that you are exerting while working so hard. You can see the actual rpm's (revolutions per minute) that you are actually pedaling. You can see where you rank in regards to the other riders in class. All of this is to help motivate you and to provide you with more information regarding your workout. And hopefully with more information, you will learn more about your workout and how your body reacts to your workout as well as the challenges and obstacles that you create and overcome in class! Now doesn't that sound exciting? It is! Again, class is not radically different. We still warm up, jog, add movements, climb hills, run and cool down. We just add a little more resistance or "hill work" into the mix and are able to visually monitor what you are doing while doing it! Come check it out! Thanks as always for your support of the Ride with Tommy! and all the newest classes @crunchgym - Sunset that incorporate the latest, cutting-edge technology to help you get the best, most challenging and fun ride possible! In good health, tommy

A lot of fun and high energy music is being released right now. So this morning's class featured some of that. Fun. High energy. New music. A few new remixes. A couple of songs that currently have news-making videos going viral due to the lavish productions and numerous and high-profile guests featured in them. A definite British influence on this track list, including a song that I discovered on my recent vacation in London. Some of my kids' favorites. And a request from a Ride with Tommy! regular who will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow, A.J. Happy birthday A.J.! I hope its the best ever! Thanks for your birthday request and for your long and continued support of the Ride with Tommy! Thanks to everyone for your support of my classes. I am truly grateful and honored that you include my classes in the pursuit of the healthiest you possible! Improving your mental and physical health and well-being one pedal stroke at a time. I hope that all of you do indeed leave class feeling better about yourself, thinking clearer, experiencing positive energy, and confident that you made a difference in your life. There is a lot that goes into the preparation of a spin class. There is a lot that can make it a pleasurable (as pleasurable as can be for a workout!) and rewarding experience. An important part of that experience is the music. I always try to provide fun, high-energy and popular music that represents a variety of styles so that everyone in class can relate and benefit from their favorite song, artist or genre at one point. It is my job as the instructor to make class as challenging as possible for experienced riders, as assessible as possible for newcomers, and always as fun, high-energy, positive, intense and distraction-free as possible. These are my goals for every class. I do not take your trust and my responsibility lightly. I hope that my goals are met for you, the rider. I always look forward to our 45-minute journeys together. Thanks for the opportunity. I hope to see you in class (again) soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

We have traveled a long way to get to where we are today. We have a long way to go, but there is so much to celebrate! And there is so much to look forward to! So let's emphasize the positive! Spend less time being afraid or tearing down those that may be different. Spend more time loving everyone for what they can contribute. And everyone can contribute something positive to society. And the easiest and best way to do that is to start by just loving each other. Loving yourself. Yes, it can all be taken down to the most basic thing...love. So just do it. Just love it! Just love each other. Just love you! Be confident. Work as hard as you can to be the best you can be. Then, stand up for what you so strongly believe. For what you deserve. Fairness. Equality. Love from others. So let's get this celebration started! You are born this way so be proud! I got my pride and it is a deeper love for all of us! Don't be afraid to express yourself.

Happy birthday to @ridewithtommy regular, Gregory! Thanks for your requests! It made for a fun and very challenging class this morning. Thanks for being there and for all the years that you have been a part of the Ride with Tommy! And thanks to everyone who was a part of class this morning! That 20-turn hill was amazing! Awesome! And you all were unbelievable! Inspiring! Thanks for contributing to a class full of positive energy that could only make a huge positive difference in every body and every mind present in class. So thank you all for being present and working so hard to reach your goals, whatever they may be. We are all individuals. At Crunch, we celebrate our individuality. We most likely all have different goals. But when you are a part of a class and committed to the work in that class, you can't help but benefit from the energy created by that collection of individuals. Each one's focus. Each one's determination. Each one's desire to make a change. Each one's willingness to push through boundaries. Each one's openness to creating obstacles and challenges and overcoming them! So thanks again to each one of you! In good health, tommy

Happy birthday to @ridewithtommy regular, Gregory! Thanks for your requests! It made for a fun and very challenging class this morning. Thanks for being there and for all the years that you have been a part of the Ride with Tommy! And thanks to everyone who was a part of class this morning! That 20-turn hill was amazing! Awesome! And you all were unbelievable! Inspiring! Thanks for contributing to a class full of positive energy that could only make a huge positive difference in every body and every mind present in class. So thank you all for being present and working so hard to reach your goals, whatever they may be. We are all individuals. At Crunch, we celebrate our individuality. We most likely all have different goals. But when you are a part of a class and committed to the work in that class, you can't help but benefit from the energy created by that collection of individuals. Each one's focus. Each one's determination. Each one's desire to make a change. Each one's willingness to push through boundaries. Each one's openness to creating obstacles and challenges and overcoming them! So thanks again to each one of you! In good health, tommy

Music Videos @darrencriss @mileycyrus @crunchgym #totalrequestride That's right. Nothing but fun in this morning's intense class. Some of my favorite high energy videos to start the class off right. Then following that up with some of the most motivational music to complete one of the most high energy, empowering, challenging, intense and fun classes ever! After yesterday's emotional send off for this year's California AIDS LifeCycle riders, I carried some of the songs specifically chosen for that class over to today's ride. Jennifer Lopez's @jlo "Booty" is one of my favorite videos to start a class off right! @tomhanks dancing in @carlyraejepsen's video for "I Really Like You" is also a lot of fun and destined to be one of the songs of summer for sure! @giorgiomoroder's new single featuring @sia, "Deja Vu" continued the energy and fun. Eventually getting to my recent favorite combination of a song written by Darren Criss for an episode of "Glee", "Rise", and a remix of the inspirational Miley Cyrus song, "The Climb" which is perfect, of course, for a hill. (See what I did there? :o) Then, cooling down to one of my current favorite ballads from the movie, "Planes: Fire and Rescue", "Still I Fly". And then another of my favorite ballads, "You Have More Friends Than You Know", which was written by Jeff Marx and Mervyn Warren and commissioned by the @ItGetsBetter project in 2013 for a touring stage production about the bullying of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. Powerful. And finally, as the @AIDSLifeCycle ride raises millions of dollars for AIDS research and for those living with HIV/AIDS, I felt it was vital to end the cool down with a groundbreaking and iconic fundraising song for the cause, "That's What Friends Are For" from 1985 by Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder and Elton John @eltonjohndotcom. I have to be honest and say that between yesterday's Extra Special Sexy LifeCycle Spin and today's #totalrequestride, I continue to love what I do and feel completely and utterly blessed to be able to keep doing it. I am humbled and grateful. I often say in my classes that even the smallest change can make a big difference. I hope to live that truth day to day in the small efforts of my classes. In good health, tommy

Wow! Once again, I am blown away by the energy, fun, instensity, sweat, hard work, and focus in this morning's Extra Special Sexy LifeCycle Spin @crunchgym - Sunset! What was extra special about it? Well, we were lucky enough to have 7 riders from next week's 2015 California AIDS LifeCycle ride! Our annual extra special class is our way to show support to these amazing individuals that have been training for the past 10 months to a year to prepare for a ride that will most likely change their lives as well as the lives of so many others! That's right! Altogether, there will be almost 3,000 riders taking part in the LifeCycle ride. Last year, they raised over $15 million. This year, they will most likely raise even more! Proceeds benefit the programs of the LA LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation that help research and those living with HIV/AIDS. So not only have these riders been training for so long, they have also been fundraising. Each rider must raise a minimum of $3,000. Most of the riders in class this morning have already far exceeded that minimum. In fact, these riders have raised from between the minimum $3,000 up to $15,000! How awesome is that! On Sunday, May 31st, they will begin their ride in San Francisco where they will ride 545 miles to Los Angeles, anywhere from 45 to 110 miles per day. They will pass through the finish line on Saturday, June 6th, at the Veterans Center just outside of Brentwood. There is still time to make a donation to any of these riders. The links to their donation pages are listed below. Help out if you can. Every little bit helps! And just like in class, every little thing you do can make a big difference! So make a difference! Make a BIG difference! In good health! tommy
And thanks to these amazing businesses that donated items to this morning's class to help make it even more extra special!

The Annual Extra Special Sexy Spin in support of the California AIDS LifeCycle Riders is TOMORROW, Tuesday, May 26, 2015, 7:00am!
Yes, it is that time of year again. Every last week in May, we do a little extra something to send off the amazing and inspiring Riders who will be heading off to San Francisco later this week to begin the Ride of a lifetime! A lifechanging event! A fundraiser like no other! Thousands of Riders have been training for the past 10 months or so. They have also been raising funds by seeking sponsors. Training includes actual road rides almost every weekend. Many supplement their outdoor rides with indoor cycling as well. A fundraising minimum of $3,000 must be met and many far surpass that minimum. Last year, almost 3000 Riders raised over $15 million! Help make this year an even bigger success! Beneficiaries are the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Many of the Riders are our fellow members here at Crunch Fitness - Sunset. Many of them you workout alongside everyday. You may know them, but you may not know how much time and effort they have donated for such a worthy cause! In addition to the training and fundraising they have been doing for so long already, they are also taking off 7 days of work on their own time and riding 80-100 miles each day for a total of 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles. They leave San Francisco this upcoming Sunday, May 31st and cross the finish line in Los Angeles next Saturday, June 6th. Obviously, this is no small sacrifice. This is no small commitment. This is no small undertaking. So let's show them how much appreciate their time and efforts, their sacrifice and volunteerism, their good hearts and detemined minds! Thanks you 2015 California AIDS LifeCycle Riders! Tomorrow morning's annual Extra Special Sexy Spin is a very small way of showing our appreciation for all that you all have done and are doing! You inspire us! You motivate us! You impress us! You are awesome! Thank you!

What an amazing class full of energy and commitment! This morning's #totalrequestride @crunchgym - Sunset was impressive with it's dedication and desire to making a change! Escaping the "real world" for a 45-minute Ride can be just the boost you need to get through the day or week! I often say, "Check your work, relationship or "real life" problems at the door. The Ride is YOUR time. Nobody else's." No phones. No stress. No boss. Nobody needing anything from you. Nobody beating you over the head with what you must do or have to do or need to do. Escape. Focus. Improve both your physical and mental health and well-being. Work hard. Have fun! Make a difference. Make a change. It's up to you. How much do you want out of it? Only you can make it happen. Come be a part of the Ride with Tommy! Use a few fun, high-energy videos to start off each Wednesday's #totalrequestride. Be in control of your Ride. Then, return to the "real world" refreshed, energized, with a clear mind. Exit the doors of Crunch's spin room with a renewed focus and determination. With a knowledge that you created challenges and obstacles in class, and you OVERCAME them! You exceeded expectations! You created a positive energy that you can carry around with you the rest of the day. You can do it! Just do it! In good health, tommy

Wow! What an amazing Ride with Tommy! This morning's Sexy Spin became a Sexy Superhero Spin as Crunch once again exhibited how it is THE place where fitness meets entertainment! As the movie, The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, opens tonight in late night screenings across the country, Crunch celebrates the superheroes that we encounter everyday...our members, trainers and instructors! Crunch is one of those rare institutions where amazing individuals come together to make a positive difference. Members often want to make a difference in their lives. Trainers and instructors bring their amazing skills and talents to the table to help our members reach their goals and make that positive difference everyday! I believe that everyone who wants to improve their life as well as the lives of others is a superhero! For every positive change that a member makes in both their mental and physical health and well-being, the world becomes a better place. For every person that makes their life healthier and happier, a contribution is made to the world to help make it collectively happier and healthier! This statement may seem grandiose and over-hyped, but I don't think so. So often, we encounter so many things in our lives, in our daily routines, that can bring a person down, frown or feel sad or mad. This happens way too often and way too easy. What a great thing to do to try to help reduce or eliminate these negative instances! In my classes, I try to stress the ability to create a positive energy that can result in a positive change. Yes, it takes hard work, but it can be done. And then I often remind riders as they leave class that not only have they accomplished something extraordinary in class, but that they can carry that positive energy with them all day as they face the "real world" outside of the spinning room doors. In class, we create challenges and obstacles that we overcome, that makes us stronger, that moves us closer to realizing our personal goals. This is such a positive experience! So when we encounter things that may be a little less than postive in the "real world", we can remember what we were able to do in class, the challenges and obstacles that we overcame, the positive energy that we created, the changes and goals that we reached, the expectations that we exceeded. Yes, all of this can happen in a simple spin class. Every little bit can make a big difference. Every positive change can create more positive changes. Every accomplishment builds confidence, hope and strength. We are all amazing. We can all contribute so much. We are all superheroes!

For all the talk about intensity, challenges, hard work and pain, I still like to create a Ride that allows you to have fun! Who said that it was impossible to get the changes in your body that you work so hard for without smiling, laughing and having fun while doing it?!?! Nobody! So come join us every Wednesday at 9:30am at Crunch Fitness - Sunset. Get to class. Work hard. Make positive changes. Have fun! Tweet your favorite song or video to @crunchgym followed by the hashtage #totalrequestride. The top 3 videos each week will be played in Crunches across the country. (And if you Ride with me here at Crunch Fitness - Sunset, then also include #ridewithtommy or retweet your requests to @ridewithtommy so that I can be sure to include your requests even if it doesn't make it into the national top 3!) Sound like fun? Then let's just do it! See you next Wednesday! In good health, tommy

The new Threshold Ride. We have been offering this new class here at Crunch Fitness - Sunset for only 3 months. Already, I have received so many comments on how the class has transformed the way people Ride and workout. So many people have stopped me and told me how the Threshold Ride really makes them work harder, how seeing the different colors of the percentage zones as well as the numbers themselves provides extra motivation, inspiration and knowledge to commit and focus and truly feel the work AND the results! And that's really what it is all about. No matter how much I, as the instructor, stress proper form, resistance levels, various paces, fun and high energy music, it really boils down to leaving class knowing that you did the best you could and obtained at least some of the results that you entered the class hoping to achieve. So when I see you next time in class, remember to enter the room with goals, a positive attitude and the willingness to grow in both strength and knowledge both personally and as part of a group in a class that provides cutting edge technology and an even better way to monitor your own fitness, workouts and changes! In good health! tommy

So when I see you next time in class, remember to enter the room with goals, a positive attitude and the willingness to grow in both strength and knowledge both personally and as part of a group in a class that provides cutting edge technology and an even better way to monitor your own fitness, workouts and changes! In good health! tommy

Well, we didn't have the video capacity working in class yesterday morning, but we still had a great Ride! Thanks to everyone who made it to class and was a part of 45 minutes of hard work, intensity, commitment, sweat and fun! It takes commitment to make a change. To work toward something that you truly want to achieve. In class, I encourage that commitment. Commitment to proper form. Commitment to the work. Commitment to the workout as I have designed it so that you get the most out of everything that you do. So that you create a positive energy that fills up the room. That pushes and challenges you. That encourages and supports the people around you. So that everyone has the best Ride possible. The most efficient Ride. The most effective Ride. The most productive. The safest. Committing to what I call the three basics: 1) proper form, 2) pace and 3) resistance. Of those 3, form is the most important. As you commit to the best form possible, you insure yourself of a Ride where every little thing you do can make a big difference. A Ride that will move you closer to obtaining results. A Ride that will allow you to work efficiently. In other words, proper form will allow you to work safely while working as hard as you can instead of riding with improper form which can lead to injury immediately or over a period of time. I spend a lot of time talking about proper form and the need to commit to form, pace and resistance. And I want you to work as intensely as you can, no, more than you thought you could! More than you thought possible! And I want you to have fun! Yes, have fun while working so hard that the time in class flies by! So that you leave class confident that you did all that you could to the best of your ability. And that you definitely made a change. A positive change. A change in your mental and physical well-being. In the way you think of yourself. In the way that you see the world around you. Wow. All of that can happen in a spin class? Yes it can. So let's do it! Come join me in the Ride with Tommy! And be sure to check out the track list for this morning's Sexy Spin as well! In good health!
