Introducing this month’s customer of the month: Ms. Tatyana W.
Tatyana has been with me for about a year now and I have very proud of her resilence and her dedication to a healthier lifestye. She is typically very quiet but the way she works in class speaks very loud. It is always a pleasure to see someone come to class for the first time, struggle at first, then all of a sudden the lightbulb comes on. Once she learned how to manage her workout on the bike and dedicated herself to spin as her way to fitness, Tatyana has been one of my favorite students and its been a pleasure training her. Please take a look at the pictures below and Tatyana’s testimonal and maybe her words will inspire all of us to keep with a strong fitness regiment.
Moving to Dallas from Michigan two years ago, starting a new job and trying to settle in a big city put me in a “weight denial” for a whole year. I just quit weighting myself, mistakenly hoping that extra stress would burn extra calories. After a long stressful work day, it was much more enjoyable hanging out at a French bakery with my best friend, eating an almond croissant rather going to a gym. Just the thought of running on a treadmill made me feel bored. The wakeup call became my annual checkup, when the scale showed a 20 pounds gain since my previous annual appointment. I felt grossly overweight but it was still not enough to give up my sweets and go back to a boring cardio routine. Fortunately, at one of my apartment events I met Keith who told me about his newly opened spinning studio. The location was perfect, the price – affordable. What would I lose? Perhaps, those unwelcomed pounds that rudely surrounded my hips and rounded up my already round face. I started taking a couple of classes a week and in a few weeks noticed that five pounds were gone quickly. I was happy. In addition, I started learning Argentine Tango and gaining strength at my spinning classes. Keith really helped me to keep up on the dance floor. Finally, my work related stress kept magically disappearing after just one hour of spinning. I started feeling mentally and physically good. When I came back to my annual checkup in November 2009, I was very proud that the scale showed a drop of 25 pounds.
I lost weight but gained confidence, a better attitude and emotional happiness. Two months ago I switched to a monthly unlimited plan and sometimes took two sessions a day – in the morning and at night. Somehow, I got addicted.
Most importantly, Keith’s classes are totally different from spinning sessions I have taken in the past. Keith is doing such a great job by keeping us challenged and motivated. In addition, he changes the routine frequently so his classes are never the same. The music is awesome and the bikes are very nice. Also, Keith has a great personality and it is fun to be around. He remembers people’s names, makes funny jokes and I don’t even mind when he laughs at my football ignorance.
By the way, I never gave up my love for sweets or other food. In fact, I am against dieting and starving. I found what works for me and if I eat a little more that I am supposed to, well, that’s when the unlimited pass comes handy – I just head to the Spin4life Studios and take an extra session.
