Kristen's Spin Class

Press Ultra


It was as if she simply flipped the record over and played her B-side in the much heralded 8:30 Thursday. The grittiness of Wednesday was replaced by her playful wistfulness that only she can pull off.  She has intimated on more than one occasion that this is her most advanced class of the 6 she teaches in Woodbury. Although she leads a Tuesday class in Roslyn, they are virtual beginners to our brand of spin and comparing them to us is like an intermediate skier faced with looking down double black diamond slope. 

  In a way this class is antithetical to the 8:30 Tuesday’s with Tripp. In both classes the motivation is 93 octane high, but the fuel in the way it is burned is much different. The demeanor of the CS is much more subdued in KSC and maybe it’s just my imagination but you just don’t act up in her class. In Tripper’s class most anything goes because we climb the ladder any way we can and if we make a little too much noise no one seems to mind. I am openly demonstrative when Doherty is in the room but I will almost conceal any exhortations that come out of my mouth when I am in #3 in KSC.  It’s just not done and even though she says she doesn’t mind when it’s Evil Woman time it’s behave Jack and no jumping off the bike in excitement when Tripp plays Hall and Oates.
