Thanks!

Thanks to Nick Oram for subbing my classes while Rich and I took the boys to see snow! We had a great time and got some great pics.

So, thanks again to Nick and to all of you who stayed committed to your workout routines and supported Nick's classes - I know he gave you some good rides!

In good health,

Hey everybody!

Rich and I are taking the boys to see snow for the first time this weekend in Mammoth (which also just happens to be Tom Whitman's Elevation Gay Ski Weekend). We'll get to dress them up in their warmest clothes that are too warm for LA and take lots of pictures.

And to the sheer delight of so many of you, Nick Oram will be subbing my Friday and Saturday classes, both at 9:30am.

I know how so many of you love Nick and his style of teaching (and perhaps his overall "presentation"...in other words, he ain't too bad to look at when you are sweatin' your a$$ off!), so I just want to thank Nick for subbing for me! I know you all will have a great class as well as a great time!

Thanks again, Nick!

Have a great weekend, and I'll see you for the Red Line Ride on it's new day, Monday mornings at 9:30am!

In good health,

tommy

The Red Line Ride now on Mondays at 9:30am at Crunch!

Effective March 16, 2009, my 9:30am Red Line Ride will move to Mondays. My 9:30am class on Wednesday will no longer be a Red Line Ride. Thanks for your support and cooperation! See you in class soon!

I apologize for the language used in some of the songs this morning. My use of these songs in no way condones or encourages the use of such language, and is no reflection of the thoughts, policies or intentions of the gym or instructor. With that being said, didn't they just rock?!?! I read about Lilly Allen's new album on Billboard.com (which I read every week to try to bring you guys new, different and interesting music!). This song ("F**k You Very Much") is such a deceptive tune. It sounds like a light-hearted, happy-go-lucky, Partridge Family kind of upbeat song, but the lyrics are so very different. Fun! Now I have to give credit to Facebook for "I Just Wanna F**king Dance." My friend (and regular Ride attendee), Christoph, posted a video on Facebook (at which I have created a group entitled Ride with Tommy! Check it out!) yesterday which consisted of a montage of many dance clips from many different movies. It was so well done, and it was set to this song. I just loved the transition from the slow, melodic intro to the pulsing, pounding, fast beat of the rest of the song. What a great way to end the class! So thanks to everyone who worked so hard this morning and for being there in the first place!

The energy in this morning's class was off the hook! And it wasn't even anyone's birthday! Thank you to everyone who attended and worked so hard and intensely! As I always say, when you guys work as hard as you did this morning, I am inspired! It pushes me to push/encourage you even more! And thanks to the front row who whooped and hollered and raised the roof on the energy level even more! Everyone rocked this morning! Thanks! Now go out and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

In good health,

tommy

And yet more birthdays of special people! Today is Dylan's birthday! Dylan has been attending Sexy Spin for years (with a little time off to integrate swimming into his workout routine...and yes, he did show off his new "swimmer's build" in class...he helps bring the sexy to Sexy Spin!) So thanks to Dylan and his bff and fellow long-time Sexy Spinner, Abby, I was able to incorporate some of their well-thought-out requests of new (to me) music and some different mixes of several songs I've played before. And thanks to all of Dylan's friends who attended class to help him start off his birthday celebration in a very sexy and healthy way! The energy in class was off the hook! Happy birthday, Dylan!

And I found out at the beginning of class that it is also Jonah's birthday! And it turns out that Jonah and I met probably about 5 years ago through our mutual friend, Lisa Foxx. Small world! Happy birthday, Jonah!

Track List - Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Well, the birthday roll continues. Today is Carl's birthday, and I asked him to provide me with some of his favorite spin songs. Though he sheepishly asked me to play Anastacia as if maybe I wouldn't be too familiar with her music or maybe that I might feel that it is too "5 minutes ago." Little did he know that I LOVE Anastacia! So, I've tried to honor his requests and play some new mixes of current and past hits as well as some of my favorites. It is my pleasure to do it. Just as Carl is a pleasure to have in class. He works so hard and intensely (he may be accurately accused on occasion of "over-training"!), but I want to thank him so much for making The Ride with Tommy part of his workout routine AND to wish him the best birthday ever. Happy birthday, Carl!

Today's track list is made up of requests from Andrew & Jason who take my 9:30am classes and whose birthdays are tomorrow, Friday, February 20th. I decided to try the cd on my Sexy Spin clients first. Now, this was a challenge because Andrew loves hard rock-and-roll, and he has always reminded me of the fact that I rarely play his favorite type of music in class! Jason, on the other hand, tends to like music that is a little more "dancey", "anthem-y", with strong vocals by strong women artists (in other words, music that is typically more appreciated by men who are members of the gay community). So, today's track list may appear a little "split personality", a little bit (not country but) "diva-y" AND a little bit rock-and-roll. I will be repeating it tomorrow in Friday's 9:30am class in celebration of their birthdays. Happy birthday, Andrew & Jason!

I didn't know it until I arrived in class today, but it is also Rose's birthday today! Rose has been so consistent with her early morning indoor cycling over the past several years. She should be an example to many of us! I really appreciate her commitment and her support. Happy birthday, Rose!

And of course, we can't forget that this week also included Colin's birthday this past Tuesday!

I wish all of you the best life has to offer in the year (and years) ahead! Thanks for committing to your workout and for your support of The Ride With Tommy!

Track List - Tuesday, February 17, 2009

Okay, I know throughout history, that I have only posted new track lists on Thursdays and Saturdays and maybe holidays. Well, today, I put together a new track list specifically to celebrate Colin's birthday. If you don't know Colin, he's hard to miss. He is always smiling and ready with a laugh, quip, joke, or sarcastic yet light-hearted and well-intentioned comment. He is truly a pleasure to have in class. He has also lost over 50 lbs since he started indoor cycling in addition to his private training. He's lost over 100 lbs altogether! I want to congratulate Colin and thank him for his attendance and support of The Ride With Tommy! I let him choose most of the songs (his favorites of course) on today's track list. Happy birthday, Colin!
