Why no Spin classes Jake?
Hey Jake,
Can you help me understand what you have against Indoor Cycling?
I see you riding bikes, running, chillin by the grill, playing golf and even yoga. But you're never seen participating in the #1 most popular group fitness activity of all time; riding with us in a Spinning / Indoor Cycling class.
What's up with that?
Simple oversight?
Or is there more to it?
I've been walking around with you on my head for years. I actually had an Instructor (Spook) at our last conference ask me; "where's that beat up Life Is Goodhat you're always wearing?"
We've been together for a long time - Dec 09
I had to tell him the truth that my favorite hat was no longer with us 🙁 My wife Amy actually bought me another Life Is Good hat, you're playing Golf... I don't play golf. So despite her nice gesture (she could't find anything else) I'm forced to go through life without you.

If you're ever in Minneapolis I would love to have you try one of my classes. Let me know you're coming john@indoorcycleinstructor.com

Well John,
Something tells me you may get the ‘Life is Good’ Hat you’re missing so much. But if that doesn’t happen, lemme know, I’ll play golf with you.
