every tuesday morning i spin now. i never thought i would want to get up as early as 5:45a to spin. but here i am! doing it! i dropped off for a while, but i'm pleased to say that my new favorite spin teacher, ronit koren, has filled a void that was once occupied by spinning great stacey griffith at equinox. stacey had a number of followers, i being one of them, who would religiously spin with her three times a week at noon. however, she has left us to create a new life elsewhere and for a while i was floating around "spinless" in westwood, getting fat and eating too many cupcakes. i had the yoga practice down, but i was struggling with my cardio.
but this class has become a treat that i now look forward to it every week! music is a huge part of the ride, for me, at least, so it took a while to find a great teacher who had just the right energy. a teacher that i love, andrea lawent, is too far away for me in hollywood.
ronit warms you up quickly out of your sleep, motivates you to maintain a high energy level and paces you out for the best challenge. you watch her move and want to move with the same amount of strength and ease. her music is driving, fun and heavy on bass. prime spots fill up fast! thank goodness for equinox's online bike booking, or else i'd have to get to class an hour before to sign up (which i NEVER would want to do that early on a weekday). thanks ronit!
