Vincent~

"Thank You" is typically saved for endings; for moments passed and accomplishments completed. My "Thank You" is for a beginning.

The 2 hour Spanish Open Theme Ride, was such an extraordinary experience last Saturday, that I have to ask, ...Who would have thought, 2 hours on a spin bike would have even been a possibility for me, less than 7 weeks ago?...Wait a minute....Let me answer my own question...You thought so, Vincent.

I don't really know how it happened, but somewhere between my myriad of protests and your perseverance…You managed to get me to try your class. I recall my months on the treadmills outside the spin room, hearing your... uh, how shall I put it...."Commanding voice" ;-) above the music and thinking to myself, "What could possibly be going on in there!". But of course, now I know.

You were creating magic.

You exude such a positive energy, Vincent... and that, paired with your absolute belief in everyone there completely fills that space; allowing each of us to tap into something deep inside; to push ourselves beyond what we had ever believed possible. People working together...People working individually...People working for you...People working for themselves...People doing whatever, whenever, however to get through the next challenge, the next interval, the next moment...as you put it, Vincent..."One foot at a time".

Months ago, you told me I could do it...I didn't believe you. However several of your spin classes and one 2 hour Spanish Open Challenge later, have proven me wrong. So, you were right, Vincent…You win. Yet... from where I'm spinning, it's kinda looking to me, like we're both winners ;-) You have a gift, Vincent~ And yeah, I'm gonna say it...Thank you.

P. S. The Spanish Open, say it with me, "history"....The ADK Challenge, this month....I will so, see you there!

Whew!~

Just off the heels of the2 ½ hourAdirondack Challenge this past Saturday, with the Spanish Open Challenge, now a distant memory, I am finally forced to conclude one thing…I am socompletely and utterly addicted to Vince’s Spin Challenges paving his Road to Everest!

I’ve mentioned before, that I never wanted to begin spinning and several weeks ago, the idea of 2-5 hour challenges, frankly held no interest for me. I amcertainly, noathlete; I merely plod away…do my thing.That’s it, that’s all. Oh yes, and there is of course, the obvious fact, that I don’t like spiders.

“Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,

'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;

You see, for some strange reason, the mere mention of Vince’ Road to Everest, weeks back,drew me to fear a strong parallel betweenthese several hour spin challenges and the classic poem, by Mary Howitt, entitled “The Spider and the Fly”…and well, let’s face facts here,it just doesn’t end well for the fly; if you know what I mean.

The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,

And I've a many curious things to show when you are there."

Okay,Vince’s parlour? ...A little different from that of the Spider’s, I’ll give you that…rows and rows of Spin Bikes. However, his carefully woven web of dramatic music anddim lighting, intertwined with Vince’scoaxing encouragement seduces each willing fly into the room, much like the poetic Spider’s, to push beyond whatever holds us back; feeling our struggles, yet believing, …Uh, correction, “knowing” in our, …andmost certainly his,…Absolute victory.

“Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,

For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again." …

I did not want to do these challenges. Period. I pretended not to hear Vince’s announcing of each one after spin class (…and I gotta tell you, I had that ignoring thing down to a science). And yet something kept nagging at me. Curiosity? Intrigue? I cannot say for certain.

So cautiously, I succumbed. But differently from that little fly in the poem, I haven’t come to my demise. I have however, gotten so completely entangledin Vince’s Spin Challenge web, that I have never even considered trying to escape.

I am addicted indeed, and I will “ne’er come down again”…Somehow it happened, and I am on the Road to Everest…I swear I never saw it coming, and I certainly have no idea how the next 4 hour Ten Peaks Challenge will feel. The idea is intimidating, okay let’s keep it real…I am certain I’ve completely lost my mind!

Yet, the first two challenges have left mecompletely exhilarated! …Amazing people, phenomenal music and just an awesome feeling of accomplishment at the end! :-)))

Spiders? They don’t seem to bother me so much any more.

Hi all!

If you're here it's probably because you already know Vince! Personally, I have been working out for many years and have found my fitness levels dropping instead of increasing. Ever since I started working out with Vince, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I am working smarter and more focussed and am optimistic that I will finally see the results that I have been striving for for many years!

The Shakes & Ladders, One Life and personal training are all radically different than anything that I have done before and the Spin classes are a blast.

I recently attended a "Big Daddy" theme ride and the 2 hours flew by, and the music and ambience were also a great escape for my normally busy mind.

Thanks Vince, looking forward to my journey towards intelligent fitness.

Friday's stretch class: Hey Vince just wanted to let you know that that Friday's stretch class was awesome! I really appreciated you taking the time to offer this hour to us. I loved the meditation part at the end. I left the class feeling relaxed and renewed and I went on to having a great week-end....Thanks Vince.
