Kristen's Spin Class

Talk To Me


In the midst of taking a day off from the intensity of my workouts, I am hard pressed to feel comfortable off my stationary bike. Classes go on whether I’m in, or leave myself a blank in the tiny squares of that ditto sheet that mark our place in the CS.  I am still finding inspiration in just about every class at Equinox. I have expanded my group exercise to include the indomitable Pam Polestino, even though at this point I am a fish out of water on the hardwood floor versus clipped in with my spin shoes.  I know that I need to diversify my fitness regimen and until now I was unwilling or simply resistant to the idea of doing anything else but spin my life away. Pam has changed all that because of her charismatic engaging style. She’s as talented as Kristen only different. Both women are experts in their craft of group exercise and I love the fact that we have so many choices in the staff they have hand picked. They remind me of Lennon McCartney, a yin yang approach that brings a deeper understanding of talent. They don’t always agree, but they always BRING IT and get it done for you and I.  

I was wondering if some of you that read my stories could tell me about how often you come to this blog. I know you come because I keep tabs on my visitors. I don’t know who you are because there are no footsteps I can match in the CSI lab. I love that you visit and some of you tell me just how much you enjoy these entries, but I still would love to hear from you more, even if it’s anonymous. 

I did a story on Tripp’s blog called The Prom Queen, and I heard a lot, by word of mouth why you liked this story in particular. The woman in this story is incredibly complex and her natural beauty runs much deeper than her physical presence. And for those that know who she is, I am not getting that PQ picture.  Not now, not ever.  

I know that we have some fund raisers this weekend and I wish those that have spearheaded these drives like the Susan B.  Komen ride last month, raise a lot of money.  Those of you that have humanistic causes are welcome to let me know and I will post it right here. Good luck to Stacy and young Dana. So talk to me KSC readers and I promise you this, as I am about to hit the 200th story soon, I will write something really special. I haven’t figured what just yet but I bet it will come to me.

  1. You were standing behind me at the last PP (that is Pam Polestino to you) class on sat. I saw your enthusiasm and slipped on your sweat! Your blog is great and Pam is truly amazing. I have been trying to get some of my friends to take Pam's class. They ask, "why is she so great" "what does she do that gets you so psyched about her class", "why do you talk about her all the time”. My answer is simple, “take her class—once you do, you will understand, words can not express.!”. PP wants you to do your best, be your best…she is encouraging, she is supportive, she is amazing. A true inspiration and welcoming to all ppl, whether you are a size zero or a size 16. You can be front row, back row, left or right. She is watching, encouraging, and will shout out your name to make you be all that you can be, and then some!

  2. I love readers and thank you for taking the time to stop by. It is not easy in our times to slow down and I appreciate it immensely. Pam has something tangible and authentic. She loves what she does and we are the beneficiaries.

  3. I tell this to everyone I meet..... if you want to burn a thousand calories in one hour, forget that u are exercising while doing it, listen to a voice that is motivational and persuasive, feel like jumping out of a moving van if you can't make it to her class, and never once ever hear a mistake with the timing...... Pam is ur girl. She is the best ever!
