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
