It’s 925 on a Sunday and I wait on the TMW* for the Blue Sapphire’s edition of Hello Sunday. As I love to write about it, and this gemstone in particular, it never seems a bother to sit and wait for the 30 minute sign in.
The Blue Sapphire is beyond superlatives, but I will do my level best. Some have accused me of having a “thing” for the Blue Sapphire the way I wax poetic about her. I am not sure where that comes from but she is a fantastic motivator and I just flat out admire her.
Another packed house, and Hello Sunday is fast becoming one of my favorite classes here at Equinox. One of the ingredients that make Carolyn so unique is her gesticulations. I really took the time today to watch her hands and arm movements. Like coupling rods to locomotive wheels, she moves piston like as she directs us toward speed and effort. It is a pure art form in itself. When the Blue Sapphire beckons we all follow in UNISON. The appeal she exudes is irresistible. Whether it’s her smile, voice or just innate talent, I can’t miss Sundays with Carolyn Mellace.
That was the week that was wherein I found myself spinning 7 days in a row. Just two months ago I would have cringed at that prospect. I made a concerned effort to sample more of the instructor base than ever before and the talent is very deep at Equinox, very deep.
Louis, a recent addition as membership advisor, refers to this club as our “Third Space.” Home then work and then Equinox. An interesting premise that is literally very true because we don’t arrive, workout, shower and leave.It is this sense of belonging and having virtually every staff member knowing your name that makes entering and leaving like a second home. I have belonged to so many clubs in the past including Bally’s where my deepest concern was spending only the briefest intervals and always being concerned about locking my belongings, and just how sanitary the environs were. Never have I been concerned about cleanliness or possessions here, and when I leave something here like shoes, they appear on my very next visit. Equinox has this three pronged approach of Greet, Train and Maintain which is why it will remain the premier club at least in my mind.
Gee I sound like a P.R. man. Only speaking what my heart tells my mouth what to say.
