Lights, Camera........

Action already lives here,  the lights and camera just served as witness to what happens everyday at Equinox Woodbury and in particular this day aboard Kristen's Spin Class. As rider and writer these past 6 years what more can I say that hasn't been said about Kristen James? I've waxed poetic over the thousands of rides  about her natural charisma that draws a packed studio every class without exception. Then I've chronicled her poignant allegory like today  when she alluded to her beloved father who taught her the governing concepts of life she lives by. Then there's the illustrated moving pictures she paints while we ride that generates the desire, energy and stamina that moves us through the challenge of the discomfort and how to welcome it without fear. And finally her animation and gesticulation that brings motivation to a fever pitch.

But today there was something else an intangible that I could feel at the start of class coursing through my body. It was a palpable energy field an almost visible force that lifted The Lavender Palace* like a collective and that my friends is the distinctive separation Equinox Woodbury has  over any other club this rider has ever been in. This club this class is singular in nature and why Corporate came today? I bet they found out firsthand what we members have known from day one.

I know Cycle For Survival is Nigh please make your contributions to help find a cure.

This past week was a watershed event for me because I came back to the Major Leagues and when I go back South I will take with me the acumen I remembered I had forgotten.

*The Lavender Palace is my affectionate term for the EQ studio. I think the walls were lavender at one time even though not now. I beg your indulgence.
