This week's theme: SOUNDTRACKS and charity: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS!

We are down to the homestretch! This is the final week of October Theme Spins and Charity Promotions. This week's theme will consist of music from your favorite SOUNDTRACKS!

This week's highlighted charity is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS, specifically the M.D. ANDERSON CANCER CENTER in Houston, Texas! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Breast Cancer Awareness is a cause especially significant to me. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago. My partner, Rich, just found out a little over a month ago that his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer as well. I am happy to say that they are both survivors and back on the road to living life like they are used to. However, that would not be possible without the research conducted by organizations such as the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center! That is why your contributions are so important!

Please take a moment to click on the button below - seriously, $5 or $10 is vitally important! Every amount makes a difference!



And don't forget...there will be prizes and a special surprise guest!

Thank you all once again for your support of my classes and for the charities promoted each week. Without you, none of it would be worthwhile!

In good health,

Tommy

Thanks again to Dollar Tan for subbing!

Hey everybody!

I am in Chicago until Wednesday afternoon. Rich and I are visiting his mother who is recovering from breast cancer surgery. She is doing great! My mother is also a breast cancer survivor. Which makes this week's charity that much more important to me.

I will be back on Thursday morning for Sexy Spin and to continue this month of theme and charity weeks. Again, this week's theme is Soundtrack Spin and the charity is the Breast Cancer department of M.D. Anderson's Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. This is an institute known worldwide for its research. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

So I hope to see you Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.

And thanks again to Dollar Tan for so ably subbing my classes Monday and Wednesday!

Tommy

This week's theme (COUNTRY!) and charity (AIDS Walk LA!)

Now, don't be scared! I am only going to play the most popular/crossover country that will stay true to the workout and usual intensity of the class. I promise you will not be "pickin' and a grinnin'" or twangin' for 45 minutes. It will be motivating, high energy with rockin' beats! Think Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts (or maybe some good remixes thereof!)

This week's charity is the AIDS Walk LA which takes place this Sunday, October 21st! We will not be collecting money in class or at the gym; we just want to bring a little added attention to this very worthy cause. Specifically, I want to encourage you to donate to the “Gang of 100” AIDS Walk Team. The “Gang of 100” is a group of friends that works throughout the year to take part in or create fundraising events to make a difference. This is the second year the “Gang of 100” has been a part of AIDS Walk LA. Last year, the Gang raised almost $65,000 and was the 2nd place fundraising team. This year, their goal is to raise $100,000 and to come in first! They have already raised more than $75,000! To donate, click either logo below:












I look forward to seeing all of you in class!

In good health,

Tommy

Jury Duty

Hey everybody!

Unfortunately, I have been called in for jury duty this week. I'm not sure how many days I will be out, but I know I have to report to the courthouse downtown on Monday morning.

Thanks to Nick for agreeing to sub my class for me! I really appreciate it, and I know you will all be in good hands!

In good health,

Finally, a big thanks to our male supermodels who help out at the end of class - Rick Dagostino and Daniel Bastreghi (two guys that are totally hot and super nice as well...I hope you recognized them in their pictures in the weekly Sexy Spin emails!)

This week's theme: Rock!

This week's theme to the music used in class will be ROCK! Now, I will not play eardrum-breaking, headbanging, screaming-at-the-top-of-their-lungs rock and roll for 40 minutes. You know me better than that. I will choose music that is relevant to the exercise and still a lot of fun, but that will have some kind of common 'rock' thread to it all. So don't worry. The same still applies: intense workout, fun music, safe and form-focused ride!

This week's charity is the Family Equality Council which promotes equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer parents, guardians and allies. To donate to this very worthy cause, please click below:
