@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

13. You Have More Friends Than You Know - Glee Cast
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

14. Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Madonna
So I've never done one of these "Battle of..." classes before. When Crunch asked if I wanted to do one, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be fun! And, especially after yesterday's post, we all know how much I try to make my classes fun! So then I began to choose the divas. Well, as I went through the usual suspects, I kept saying to myself, "Oh, I also need to include this one!" So I ended up using all of them! 12 divas! 14 songs. One duet. And I repeated 3 divas in the cool down. And I held one to the cool down only. It was a lot of fun putting the track list together, but a lot harder than I thought it would be. So many choices! And most of the songs tended up being of the "flashback" variety. I mean, a diva has be established! And in addition to choosing the song for being best for a specific challenge, I also wanted to include one of each diva's biggest hits. This makes the challenge more fun and also, I think, easier to really commit to the challenge when the song is powerful and one that the rider can really get into! So, this morning was my first attempt at a "Battle of..." class. It may or may not be my last. But I had fun doing it! I hope everyone had fun riding to it! Thanks to everyone for being there, being a part and working so hard! See you next time. And next Thursday, December 17th at 7:00am will be the annual Extra Special "Give The Shirt Off Your Back" Sexy Spin. Sexy Santa will be there again. And we'll also collect clothing (not JUST the shirt off your back!) for the LA Gay & Lesbian Center's Homeless Youth Program. A great tradition! A great class! A great cause! See you then! Until then, in good health, tommy

So much fun! #totalrequestride @crunchgym @toddyrockstar @SteveGrandMusic Videos. Mixes. Mashups. Energy. Work. Sweat. Fun! This morning's class was so much fun. Thanks to everyone for being there and taking part in the work and the fun. Yes, as an instructor, it is one of my main goals to make class as challenging and intense as possible while also making it as fun as possible. That's right. I said FUN! You won't hear long house/techno/pot-and-pan-bangin' songs with no words in my class. I strive to play music that is high energy and fun. That most everybody knows. You may not know every song I play in class, but odds are, I will play one that you love before it is all over. A variety of today's most popular music. Sometimes mashups. Sometimes remixes. Sometimes music by Crunch members and friends (I love and proud to spotlight Todrick's "Low" and Steve Grand's "We Are The Night" in this morning's class!) All the time used for a purpose. Each song chosen for it's beat as that will be the pace needed along with the correct level of resistance to create the challenge or the obstacle. And it is all about creating challenges and obstacles in class that we overcome. Overcoming those challenges will make you stronger. It will allow you to realize results. It will help you to reach your goals. You can make a difference. A positive difference. A positive change. And we can certainly use something positive in our lives. So treat yourself to a @ridewithtommy class. Do something good for you. And then use that positive energy to help create change in the world around you. I'm currently trying to do something positive and kind everyday in the month of December. A smile to a stranger. A hug to a friend. A text, email or phone call to a family member. Buying the purchase of the person behind you in line at the coffee shop or grocery store. Writing a letter to a soldier. Visiting a nursing home or hospital. As simple and small or as big and extravagant as you want to make it. Just do it. So join me, won't you? Do something positive. For others. For yourself. It is fun! Have fun while doing it! Have fun while working out! You can do so much for so many. You have that power. That opportunity. That privilege. That responsibility. And you can have fun in tomorrow morning's #sexyspin as it will be one of Crunch's themed classes this week. A Sexy Spin Battle of Divas. Message me your favorite big diva song and maybe I'll use it in class! Thanks for listening. Thanks for reading. Thanks for being a part of the Ride with Tommy! Hope to see you in class tomorrow morning or any morning, Monday through Friday. Until then, in good health! tommy

Workout. Holidays. These two terms do not have to be mutually exclusive! Yes, it may take more of an effort to fit your workouts into your routine during this extremely busy and hectic time of year. However, if you have been committed to your workouts throughout the past year or even the past few months, you have created habits that will help you stay committed to your workout routine and committed to reaching your goals! As I have mentioned the last couple of days, I am actively participating in doing a Random Act Of Kindness for the month of December. Treating yourself to a good workout or an extra workout is an act of kindness to yourself. Being kind to yourself is important. Being kind to yourself can make it easier to be kind to others. So by all means, make that commitment to be kind to yourself. To stay committed to your workouts. To making a change in your body. In your mind. In your outlook. In how you percieve your health and well-being. And then, by all means, share the positive energy that you have created by staying committed to your workouts with others that are not as committed as you! Yes, you create physical results by working out, but you also create a positive energy. If you have been in any of my classes, you have heard me talk about this positive energy. This positive energy can help you get a better workout. It can help the people around you in class get a better workout. And you can't help but carry this positive energy around with you the rest of the day after your workout. Not everyone is as lucky as those of us that workout routinely. Whether it be due to physical limitation or schedule limitations or something completely different, we should never take for granted that fact that we have the freedom to choose to workout. It is an opportunity and a blessing that we can commit an hour or two to doing something physical which would improve our mental and physical health and well-being. And especially at this time of year as there is an emphasis on giving and goodwill. It starts with you. Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself. And then do what you can - as much as you can - to make life better for others. It is the least we can do. And as an added benefit, this will make you feel better, too! Its a win-win! So Ride with Tommy! Stay committed to your workouts. Be positive. Share the positive energy that you work so hard to create with others! Help make their day better. Help make their season merrier and brighter! Check out the track lists for yesterday's #totalrequestride and for this morning's Sexy Spin @crunchgym on Sunet. Let music help you make a difference. A positive difference. I am so grateful for all of you that Ride with me. I don't take you for granted. You make my life better. I am happier and healther because I spin. I hope to continue to share this positive energy with you. I hope to help make a difference. We can do it. So let's just do it! See you in class! In good health, tommy
