Ryan rekindled my love for spinning!
I took Ryan Murray's spin class on Monday, it was FANTASTIC.. challenging, great playlist... and I just love how he motivates everyone. I was going so fast, during the sprints, I could not believe that I was doing 145 RPM, he had us sprint for 30 secs, I think.. and i was able to do it... He is also very helpful and compassionate. He gets off the bike to help folks..

Wil Ashley kicked my ass and my ass still hurts... I tell you he is a spin dictator...It is his way or the highway..He lectured us and was barking RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT...

workout #1 - Yoga Sati with Patricia Moreno
I really enjoyed Yoga Sati, i have to remember to adjust my time card... I would have loved to have taken more Yoga Sati, Patricia has the perfect yoga voice, very soothing... I really liked the sequencing and the flow.... I also wish I had taken Strength Sati... oh well, as I was leaving, her next class was packed...

I agree with zuzupetals... i miss the old version. b4 the new site, i used to read SW blog every day, not anymore.. I find the new site unappealing and confusing.

i went to the Women's Health Are You Game? and I was really impressed with the Crunch instructors. One thing that Crunch has that most gyms lack is, and what i most appreciate is that they offer the most innovative fitness classes. That surfboarding class was so cool!!

i wholeheartedly agree with charity, fatbottomslim(hey chica!!) and sassletics82!!
they should just stick to spinning, ( I do approve of the yoga after spinning) but when they start offering Dance and Pilates, what is the point of their raison d'être?

I have not read it, but it is safe to assume that this challenge is not for us, but for the many obese Americans who do not work out....

my only issue with this deal, you have to complete the 6 classes w/in 45 days of activation... and that is just not going to happen for me. I do not know why classes have to expire....

he stopped teaching altogether? or he is no longer at your gym? seven years, you are loyal... have you tried the new instructor that replaced your person? also, you should mix it up, don't get attached to a teacher.. take it from me..

I totally agree with you!!! totally!! and you are not being a bitch.. I hate it when people come late and then you have to move to accomodate them.. they should just find a place where they won't bother people or if they can't, apologize profusely....
I hate being late to class, sometimes i won't even go, but sometimes you just have to go, and after, I always apologize to the teacher and to the folks around me.

what is your email address? or are you on Facebook? I want to send you the intenSati pix from last Monday...
And I agree with you, when i saw how many hrs you were working out..... you definitely have to take it easy!! take it from me... rest and heal, you do not want to make it worse... and then you can work out like mad, there will be other challenges... I took it easy this week, my foot was still bugging me... going to a concert tonite, hopefully, i will be able to get a seat...

you are such a beautiful writer, I really enjoy reading your comments. I would walk into class, thinking now which one is zuzupetals? and how wild was that, I was sitting next to you, finally!! I remember seeing you b4, you were really good in class. I think I even followed you once.. and the tank tops were so worth the challenge... Lululemon donated these soft, beautiful tank tops, lime green, fuscia, and royal blue... I am glad I finally did this, can't believe i got up at 5:15am to work out at 6:30am... now that I can get up at 6:30am, I can finally clean up my apt!!! I thought of quitting the first week, but I am so proud of myself for staying with it. I really do feel now that I can do anything I set my mind to.

i could not make it, i woke up early, but my foot was just bothering me, it was really hard to put pressure on it. I had a pinched nerve and my foot doc gave me a shot. I was so bummed to miss Natalia's Fri intenSati HCB, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that class.
Look for me on Mon 8/2.... or I may go to class on Sunday @ 11:00am, Natalia is subbing, not sure yet...
