Funny Quotations from Today’s Spin Class

I had a different spin class instructor this morning at Spynergy because I went earlier than normal and on a different day because my in-laws are here and could watch the kids (YESSSS!!!)

The instructor, Jake, was a very enthusiastic guy about my age who likes to do ultra trail running and runs his own personal training studio at www.trijake.com.  He’s got a pretty positive, go-get-’em, type of personality.  There’s a chance he’s actually crazy, but in a “you’re going to get a good workout” kind of way.

He had me cracking up half the class, in that “are you for real, actually it doesn’t matter this is hilarious and I love it” kind of way.

He also was a great spin instructor – he provided clear and detailed instructions, turned down the music to explain the next set so you could actually HEAR him (my biggest problem with spin classes so far is sometimes I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing because I can’t hear the instructor) and consistently reminded the class what our posture should be.

After his class, I’ll be looking for instructors who are easy to hear, and who give enough detail so you know exactly what position, cadence, and resistance you should be pedaling at.  Hopefully my schedule will work out so I can pop into more of his classes in the future!

But the point is, don’t settle – if you go to a spin class and you can’t hear the instructor or you don’t love the workout, try a different date or time and see if you can find an instructor you really like.  There’s a huge range of styles out there – switch it up!
