Guy B. subbed the Threshold Ride, Monday, September 19, 2016

Thanks to everyone for their notes of concern. Yes, I was in an car accident on the way to teach class yesterday, Monday, September 19, 2016. I was just a few minutes away from Crunch, and Crunch was my first call after the accident and even before I exchanged information with the other driver. Fortunately, Guy B. was at the gym and was able to step right in and sub my class for me. Thanks Guy B! Also fortunately, no one was injured in the accident. Whew. There was quite an impact, but the damage was not too extensive (we were both still able to drive our cars). And finally, fortunately, it was not my fault. Whew again. I mean, I'm not glad that it was the other driver's fault. I really wish it would never have happened. And even if it isn't your fault nowadays, just the fact that you were in an accident is such a (figurative) pain with your insurance and repairs. Ugh. Well, I'm fine and ready to ride again! Hope to see you in class soon! In good health, tommy

For those of you that have taken my classes over any length of time, you know that I like to celebrate the events and happenings in our lives that are positive. And in yesterday's Threshold Ride, we certainly had something positive to celebrate! Joelle celebrated her birthday and recovery from breast cancer! Two life events that are definitely worth celebrating! Happy birthday and congrats on beating cancer, Joelle! So happy for you and grateful to see you back in class! I look forward to riding with you for a long time to come!

Also, I announced in class both yesterday and this morning that Crunch has just introduced a 12-week Get Fit Challenge! I just signed up for it yesterday. Won't you join me? Set your goals and crush them! Personal training sessions, weekly bootcamps, nutrition plans, cash prizes & more! Ask me, the front desk, any sales rep or your favorite personal trainer for more details! Tell them I sent you! $199 for the entire 12 weeks! Let's do this!

And as far as the music goes, well, you know that I always like to celebrate with music. Last week we observed Labor Day. So it should come as no surprise that I incorporated a few "work" related songs. My favorite is a mashup by DJ Andy Wu featuring songs that will make you sweat by Britney, Fifth Harmony, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Newton-John, and many others. I hope you enjoyed it, too! And my current obsession is the new version of the Black Eyed Peas hit from 2003 retitled "#wheresthelove?". I love the way the song has been redone (almost more than I liked the original version!) The song and video are filled with guest appearances from so many of the hottest artists and other well-known figures of today including the amazing voices of Mary J. Blige, Andra Day, Usher, Jessie J, Nicole Scherzinger and Justin Timberlake as well as the brief flash of instantly recognizable faces of Lance Bass, Connie Britton, Quincy Jones, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and (former Texas A&M football player, former Dancing with the Star contestant, current Denver Bronco and last year's Super Bowl MVP) Von Miller! Unfortunately, this song's message is as relevant now as it was back in 2003 when the song was written following the horrible events of 9/11 in 2001. Fortunately, will.i.am has brought the message back and is committing all proceeds to his i.am.angel Foundation, a non-profit foundation that is transforming lives through education, inspiration and opportunity.

Well, I hope to see you in class soon! Let's celebrate the positive in the world by making positive changes in our lives! And you can do that right here with me in the Ride with Tommy! Until next time, in good health! tommy

This morning's Ride with Tommy! was in part a celebration of Trent's birthday! Happy birthday Trent! Thanks for your support of the Ride with Tommy! It is such a pleasure having you in class. Thanks for your energy and dedication! Many of the songs played in class this morning were requests made by Trent of his favorite songs. I enjoyed putting this track list together. I hope everyone had a great time as they worked hard and made a positive difference in their bodies, their minds and their workouts! Let's keep making those changes! Let's keep celebrating the years that we add to our lives! Let's keep making those added years full of health and happiness! Yes, it all can start right here in a Ride with Tommy! There's so much to celebrate in life. There is so much good in the world. Let's not get caught up in all that can go wrong. Let's focus on the positive, on what we can do to make life better for ourselves and for others! Work hard to create that positive energy in class which can lead to positive changes in yourself. Then, share that positive energy with others. We can all make a difference in the world. Let's make that difference a positive one! One that can improve your life and the lives of the people around you. I try to create the environment in my classes that is conducive to making positive change. I want riders to look forward to the Ride, to look forward to an intense workout. I also want riders to trust that the ride will be safe, form-focused and fun! That's right, an intense workout that is fun. I choose music that hopefully almost everyone in class may know or recognize (yes, songs with lyrics! words, not just beats!) Feel free to sing along! Having fun will make the time that you are working out move so much faster. Before you know it, class will be over and you will be feeling the results of an intense, form-focused and fun Ride! Celebrate those results! Share the positive energy! Celebrate your birthday! Work (and workout) hard so that you can enjoy life even more! I will do my best to help you make it happen! I hope to see you in class soon! Until then, in good health and with a great attitude...tommy

18 years. I have had the honor, the pleasure, the job of teaching indoor cycling for 18 years! I taught my first class on August 2, 1998 at Todd Tramp's BodySculpting LA on the northeast corner of La Cienega Boulevard and Melrose Avenue. I worked behind the front desk there. I managed the gym (a personal training gym) and then managed the indoor cycling program. I started teaching there and since then have taught at many gyms across Los Angeles. Not long after that initial class, I started teaching at Crunch Fitness on the world famous Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA, where I still teach today. I am thankful for Kendell Hogan who believed enough to hire me at Crunch, has had my back and still supports my instruction there today! I have gone on to teach at Equinox, Gold's, Sportivo, Meridien and Universal Studios. I have taught alongside Todd Tramp, Andrea Lawent (Made In LA Fitness), Debby Rocker, Janet Fitzgerald (SoulCycle), John Terlingo (Terlingo Cycle - Dallas, TX), Jim Barcena, Stacey Griffith (SoulCycle), Bob Harper (The Biggest Loser), Nick Hounslow (Cycle House, E! Television's "Hollywood Cycle"). I have led classes in which Nicole Kidman, Christina Applegate, Queen Latifah, Lisa Rinna, George Wendt, Angie Everhart, Ryan Seacrest, (just to name a few) were in attendance. And a lot has changed since that first class. I got married to the love of my life, Rich Vaughn. We have 8-year old twin boys, Aiden & Austin. I have gone from teaching 14-15 classes a week at 3-4 different gyms to currently teaching just 4 classes a week exclusively at Crunch Fitness - Sunset. But most of all, I am so proud and grateful to have had the opportunity to help people live happier, healthier lives. I stayed true to my beliefs as an instructor, believing that a focus on form and fun, safety and intensity, and a variety of challenges and music help to make the best class possible that produces the best and most results possible. When I started, I had no idea that 18 years later I would still be teaching. Now, I can't imagine my life having not been an instructor. I have made friendships that have lasted and will last a lifetime. I have learned, grown and changed for the better. And I'm not done yet. I have so many people that still inspire me. I still have goals to reach. There are still milestones to achieve. Thanks to everyone who has supported me along my journey. And if you haven't tried a class yet, what are you waiting for?!?! I hope to see you in class soon! In good health, tommy

There's no better way to get your sweat on and get your Ride done than with fun and motivating music mixed in with intense challenges and constant encouragement to push yourself beyond what you expect! Beyond what you thought you could do! Beyond what you did last time! Yes, mix it up! Work hard! Have fun! Make a difference! Get results! Obtain your goals! You aren't gonna make it happen sitting on the couch eating bon bons! So get up and mix it up with Tommy! Ride with Tommy! Let's do it! See you in class, but until then, in good health! tommy!

And the fun continues! The fun AND the work! That's right, have fun while doing the work to make a difference. To make a positive change. A change in the way you workout. The way you look at your workouts. The way you look at your body. Your mindset. Never settle. Decide for yourself that it is so very worth it to get up, get out and workout! And have fun while you do it! Ride with Tommy! The music is almost always music that you know. From today's biggest and newest hits to the best songs from the past for the best workouts today! But don't worry. The fun does not take away from the intensity. If you make the decision to get to class and really make a difference, if you commit to the workout, the Ride, then you will indeed get stronger, burn more calories and ultimately reach a higher level of overall cardiovascular fitness! This morning's class featured new music from Jennifer Lopez @jlo, Justin Timberlake @jtimberlake, Meghan Trainor @Meghan_Trainor and Nick Jonas @nickjonas. We started off with a couple of videos to up the fun and get everyone warmed up and ready. J-Lo's new "Ain't Your Mama" and Justin's new "Can't Fight The Feeling!" were perfect for that! Then, after a remix of Zayn's "Pillowtalk", we flashed back to some oldies including a birthday visit to Janet Jackson's "Someone To Call My Lover" for her 50th birthday this past Monday and the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize" for what would have been his 44th birthday this upcoming Saturday. Finally, winding up the cool down with a song that I couldn't help be reminded by when listening to Justin's "Can't Stop The Feeling": the oldie REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling". Is that just me? Oh well, the Ride this morning was not only a lot of fun, I was so proud of all that everyone accomplished. The dedication with which everyone worked. The positive changes that everyone made. I think we strengthened everyones muscles, especially the most important muscle: the heart. To quote that great masterpiece of art and the great philosopher that we all know and revere, I think everyone's "heart grew three sizes" today! @TheDrSeussQuote Thanks to everyone for being a part of this morning's amazing experience! I'll see you next time, but until then, in good health! tommy!

New and fun music and videos for this week's #totalrequestride @crunchgym on Sunset! This morning saw J-Lo warm us up with her new empowering anthem, "Ain't Your Mama"! Then the soon-to-be song of the summer, Justin Timberlake led us into our first medium-level resistance challenge with his recent release, "Can't Stop The Feeling". And because she celebrated her 50th birthday this past Monday and just announced that she is pregnant with her first child, I wanted to include one of my favorites, Janet Jackson, as we climbed to her hit song, "If". The final video was a cool down: "Pillow Talk" by Zayn, formerly of the group, One Direction. What an amazing class! Thanks to all that showed up! Thanks to everyone for their energy and their commitment to improving their health and fitness level. For adding better health and more happiness into their lives. For adding a few years on to their lives. Yes, all that can happen in a Ride with Tommy! Haven't tried a class yet? Haven't been to one in a while? Make plans to be there tomorrow morning for Sexy Spin at 7:00am at Crunch Fitness on Sunset! Until then, in good health, tommy!

@prince @guybaruch #sexyspin Life is so many things. It is amazing. It is difficult. It is a celebration. It is love. It is short. We are reminded so many times about the many facets of life that sometimes we take to the fullest advantage and other times we let slip by without a second thought. The past couple of weeks for me has been a reminder of so many things. While I am completely grateful for my amazing family and life that we have created and are able to share everyday, I was especially reminded of the importance of friends, focusing on and sharing your talents, and working to improve your health and well-being. The world lost an amazing talent in the passing of Prince. I have been playing his songs in everyone of my classes for the past week. His surprising death is a reminder that life is short and that we should live every moment to the fullest. Also this week, one of my best friends, fellow @crunchgym instructors, and one of my favorite people on the Earth, Guy Baruch, finally released a new single, "Singing". Guy is such a huge talent. In the past few years, he has dedicated his life to helping other artists develop their talents. Well, for the first time in 7 years, he released a new single where he is once again sharing his unbelievable, God-given talent with the world. I was honored to play it in class this past week. And he is allowing everyone to download it for free at https://soundcloud.com/templebase/guy-singing-final4-2016. All he is asking is that you consider a donation to his fundraising efforts for this year's California AIDS/LifeCycle Ride to End AIDS (http://www.tofighthiv.org/site/TR?px=3215094&fr_id=1880&pg=personal) How amazing is that?!?! And each of us has such an important and vital contribution to the world. Don't hide it! Don't be afraid to share it! As I say all the time in my classes, everyone one of us in each class is no longer an individual, alone, on our own. We are in a group fitness class and therefore part of a group. And together, as each one of us contributes, we can create such positive energy that allows each and everyone of us to push ourselves further than we thought we were going to. Further than we did the last time. Further than we thought we could! That positive energy. That contribution that each of us can make. That change that everyone of us can make in our workouts. In our bodies. In our minds. In our thoughts and views of ourselves and our places in the world. Can lead to so much more outside of the spin room. It is so easy to discount or dismiss what we do. Don't. Don't let the importance of your efforts to improve, strengthen, change be minimized in any way. It all starts somewhere. Why not here? Why not in a spin class? Why not in the Ride with Tommy! Come to class! Celebrate life! Celebrate your life! Celebrate your talents! Celebrate your efforts! It is all so worth it. Remember that! I hope to see you in class soon! Until then, in good health... tommy

And once again, now that the big screen TV's are working again after having malfunctioned for the past 4 weeks and after introducing the first video to start off Sexy Spin for the first time the week before that, the video intro to Sexy Spin is back! Again this week, I chose to use a mashup of last year's biggest hits to start things off. This morning, I chose DJ Earworm's "United State of Pop: 50 Shades of Pop", a mashup of the 50 biggest hits of 2015. DJ Earworm kind of originated this whole yearend mashup of the year's biggest hits several years ago. Now, there are many, many dj's out there doing their own versions. I love it when it is done well. And DJ Earworm is not only one of the first but definitely one of the best! Then, I played two videos to really "hammer home" the Sexy Spin theme, Kylie Minogue's "Sexercize" and Eric Prydz' "Call On Me". The video for "Call On Me" is one of the silliest videos I know. It parodies group fitness (specifically a step class), the 80's, and the game that often accompanied the attraction and sexiness of a step class's participants. Nothing that much different from what happens before, during and after a Sexy Spin class I'm sure! In fact, I hope you all were able to view the video I posted on the Ride with Tommy!'s Facebook page. It is not a parody but a real life wedding proposal and flash mob that takes place in a spin class! Beautiful! So full of love! If you haven't checked it out, please do so! To bring all of this together, I think all that I have written so far certainly highlights all that I hope to provide in each Sexy Spin class. An intense Ride. One that makes you sweat! One that makes you feel sexier. One that can sometimes be somewhat silly. And fun! And one that definitely plays a variety of music that motivates and pushes and challenges everyone to work harder and make a difference! Make a change! A positive difference. A positive change. Creating positive energy that feeds you during and long after the Ride. Allowing that positive energy to make the rest of your day more happy and productive. Sharing that positive energy with others you see and meet! I try to provide a lot in a Ride with Tommy! I hope that everyone can accomplish a lot in one of my classes. If not, it certainly wouldn't be for a lack of trying! Or a lack of opportunity! It all can happen right here. In a Ride with Tommy! In Sexy Spin. I truly hope to see you in a class soon! Until then, in good health, tommy!

The TVs are back up and running great! Yay! Thanks to all of you for your patience as we have been working on the sound, lighting and programs to bring you the best Ride classes possible! I have to say, that this week, everything is performing up to and maybe even beyond our expectations! So now it is up to us, the instructors and the members, to set our expectations high! And exceed those expectations! And it is only by that, setting and exceeding expectations, that you will become a stronger rider, a rider that commits to the intensity of the ride, creates challenges, overcomes those challenges, sees results and reaches goals! Yes, all of that happens in our little bitty spin class. Do you want to put yourself into a place where all of this can happen? I hope so! So, I hope to see you soon in the next Ride with Tommy! Until then, in good health, tommy!

Happy birthday Jason! Ride with Tommy! regular, Jason, has celebrated his birthday with us here for about the past 10 years or so. Jason, thanks for your continued support, for your positive energy in class (in the front row!), and for your song requests each year to celebrate your birthday with a "Ride with Tommy! Birthday Spin"! Something he did a little different this year was a result of the recent passings of several of music legends that certainly had a great impact not only in the entire world, but even in the music we play here in our little bitty spin class. So not only were we celebrating Jason's birthday, but we also celebrated the lives and contributions of David Bowie, Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vanity of Vanity 6, and even Donna Summer and Whitney Houston whom we lost not so recently but still all too soon! Thanks to everyone who participated in class this morning. Thanks for all the positive energy that you contributed and created! I hope you all realized the results for which you work and reached the goals for which you strive! Hope to see you in class again soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

@crunchgym - Sunset, we are kicking off the Valentine's Day weekend this morning with a special track list highlighting heartbreakers and heartthrobs. This was a fun track list to put together! Now, some of the artists appearing in this morning's track list may fall under one category for one person and in the other category for another person. However, I don't think there will be much argument that they are definitely one or the other! I hope this Valentine's Day weekend will be full of love for everyone! Work out hard! Love yourself! Love everyone! Remember that love is love and everyone is deserving of love. No matter who one loves. Love you all! I'd love to see you in class again soon! Until then, in good health, tommy!

Well, the big screen tv's are not working yet, but hopefully the problems will be solved in the next few days! Thanks for your patience and understanding! Though we weren't able to play videos, we still played this week's #totalrequestride songs. I've started marking the 3 #totalrequestride songs this week by following the track listing above with (#totalrequestride!). I hope this helps. So remember to tweet your requests to @crunchgym followed by the hashtag #totalrequestride (and also #ridewithtommy) so that we can play your favorite songs or videos in class! In addition to the 3 #totalrequestride songs, I also scattered songs by the standout performers from this past weekend's Super Bowl 50! So yes, there is Coldplay, Lady Gaga and of course, Beyonce. I didn't include Bruno Mars this week, but he certainly contributed to what I thought was an amazing halftime performance! And I think everyone in this morning's #totalrequestride also had amazing performances! Congrats for all the hard work and for all that you accomplished! And thanks for being a part of the Ride with Tommy! See you next time! Until then, in good health, tommy

So, I apologize for my posts being rather "spotty" and infrequent the last couple of weeks. As those of you in class know, we have been having some technical difficulty with both the sound and the big screen televisions which we use for 3 of my classes, the Threshold Ride, the Peak Performance Ride, and the #totalrequestride. And the week before the tv's went on the blink, I thought of introducing a video aspect to Sexy Spin as well. The good news is that we have a new sound system with bluetooth capacity and new speakers throughout the spin room! Yay! The downside, we have been working out the volume issues and the tv's have gone out. I have been juggling my cd's (I know...yes, I still use cd's! You may giggle or outright laugh now.), the new bluetooth option, and the direct cable plug-in to the phone option using songs downloaded and saved directly on my phone. So, often, my "preplanned" track lists have been unused and I've been making the track lists up in class while trying to get the best sound using these three play options. On top of all that, I pulled something in my lower back last week which has driven me straight from teaching class to my couch or bed while recuperating from my incapacity. Ugh! So, enough excuses. I hope to be able to bring a "smoother" experience back to classes very soon. Hopefully in the next few days! But by smooth, I don't mean an easy class that doesn't require you to push yourself out of your comfort zone or to the point where you feel uncomfortable. These are vital parts of class that are necessary to move you closer to reaching your goals! You must push yourself out of your comfort zone if you want to get the results that are possible by committing to a spin class! If you are comfortable while riding in class, then you are not working. And to me, that is just not an option in class! So, come to class ready to work! Feel uncomfortable! It should never feel to easy! If so, you are missing out on the workout you could be having! You are missing out on the results you could be getting! Whether I'm playing from my antique cd's, mp3's on my phone or even by using the new bluetooth option on the new stereo, be ready to be challenged! Whether you can see videos, colors, numbers, zone or percentages on the tv screens, be ready to feel in your body the results of the work to which you are committed! Get ready to make a change. A positive change. Get ready to see and feel results. Get ready to sweat! I look forward to sharing this experience with you soon! Until then, in good health! tommy

How's that for something different?!?! A video to start of Sexy Spin! Those of you that have been riding with me for a while know that I always like to start the year off by playing a mashup of the biggest hits of the previous years. This started a few years ago when DJ Earworm was kind of the trailblazer in this area. DJ Robin Skouteris soon followed with an annual mashup as well. Now there are many djs mashing up the hits of the previous year in many different ways! DJ Robin Skouteris is one of my favorite mashup artists, so I'm so excited to have played his greatest hits of 2015 mashup this morning, "PopLove 4: The Ultimate Mashup of the Hits of 2015". Now, we do this every week in the #totalrequestride on Wednesdays at 9:30am. Riders tweet their favorite songs or videos to @crunchgym followed by the hashtag #totalrequestride. The top 3 songs of each week are compiled by Crunch headquarters in New York and then distributed to the instructors that teach this class all across the country! Talk about being a part of something bigger! So I thought that it would be fun and a great way to bring a little added energy to the 7:00am class. Something a little more fun than usual even! Something that can help you wake up out of your morning fogginess a little faster so that you can get to your workout faster and even faster to your results! That sounds good, doesn't it? Well, I think it went really well this morning, so I may be bringing something of this nature back to class soon. Did you enjoy it? Let me know! Comment below or message me. I look forward to hearing your input! Tony, sorry I didn't play your requested remix of "Pure Imagination", but I did play the original video as a cool down! Sorry you missed it, but thanks for the request. I'll play it soon! Gregory, I know how you love Beyonce' remixes and especially the "Green Light" remix if I remember correctly. Sorry you had to leave early and missed it, too! Dave R., thanks again for your support and contribution to this morning's Sexy Spin! You are awesome! See you all in the next Ride with Tommy! Until then, in good health, tommy

Happy New Year! It is the first Tuesday of 2016. It is the first Peak Performance Ride of 2016. It is my first class back in 2016. A lot of firsts! And an amazing way to get back into the routine or to start a new routine! So many people complain of all the people that join and crowd the gym for the first few weeks or months of a new year. New Year Resolutionists I have heard them called. Getting on a machine is more difficult. Finding parking is more difficult. Doing a superset is near impossible. Well, I say that this is a great thing! Not only are more people trying to do something positive in their lives, trying to improve their lives, and even trying to live healthier, happier and longer lives, but more people in the gym brings a new energy into the gym. That's right. A new and more exciting energy! An energy that is created by people doing something positive. And as I always say in my classes, we can "feed" off of each others' energy! That's is why I stress creating a POSITIVE energy in class. Sure, there is so much negative energy out there. You can let the added wait for a specific machine get you mad or frustrated. But you know what? You don't have to. CHOOSE to focus on the positive! Think about how that person that may be on the exact machine that you want may just be following a doctor's orders. That person may have a personal issue that has prevented them from working out in a gym setting and preventing them from working out to improve their life. Well, the beginning of the year may have just brought them to the gym to work at what you may already have. A healthy body. A healthy mind. A positive attitude. A positive outlook. Instead of being frustrated, celebrate them! Celebrate the positive energy! Celebrate the new year! Celebrate your own new beginnings! Change is only made with a commitment. Whatever gets a person to that place where that commitment can be made and a positive change can be made, that should be celebrated! I hope to see you and to celebrate with you in class this week! And the next! And the next! And the many weeks after that! Let's do this! Let's do this now! In good health, tommy
