LJSC Adds Insult to Injury with 6am Spin Class Instructor

Monday morning’s spin class at La Jolla Sports Club (“LJSC”) was a quite a trip, with a whopping three people showing up for the 6am class. This was a welcome change from the evening classes, which pack the room full of sweaty people toiling away on their spin bikes. Usually by the time I get there for the evening classes, I’m stuck with a pretty crappy bike. For the 6am class, no crappy bike for me, but the instructor was possibly the most annoying spin class instructor I’ve ever had. Okay, I was already irritated based on the Monday morning 6am spin class time, but he was pretty bad.

The music selection was not favorable, with selections from Protégé, Crystal Waters and other 90’s tunes. Plus, he actually used CDs and had to get up and change music in the middle of class. What other spin instructor at a nice sporting club doesn’t have an iPod? I think he’s stuck in the 90’s. He wore a tight yellow Under Armor-like sleeveless shirt, which he tucked into his bike shorts. Yuck. And we constantly had to hear, “Hit the beat” during our sprints.

Although I’m a fan of morning workouts, I can’t decide if I’ll be going back to the 6am spin class at LJSC. More to come…
