The Blue Sapphire: Carolyn Mellace


Carolyn Mellace: what more can be said about this lithesome athlete with endless energy and effervescence. She is the consummate professional of course but as we all know it takes charisma to beguile us and Carolyn has been packing the CS for years now. Whether it be her smile or her countenance Carolyn has “it” and like Kristen she gets more out of us than we think we are capable of.  

When I’ve looked around these past few Sundays I am seeing a lot of new faces and today we had a first timer, which is always a treat because in a way they are the most important person in the room. Lucky for them they got the inspiration to try something we are all hooked on, an indoor sport with virtually no impact and therefore little chance of injury. Sure we get pretty tight but other than that and a sore butt spin is a near perfect way to experience fitness without aching knees, shin splints and sore hamstrings. 

How does the hour go so fast? You would think when you have spin instructors the caliber of Carolyn the time might slow down because the “road” is always a tough and challenging one but her music her natural coaching style makes the time rocket by and at rides end my shirt and shorts are as if I jumped in the pool at Great Neck. I just love riding with her and with two filled studios every Sunday I guess you do too.
