Not ANGRY like; “I want to punch your lights out!” More like; “there comes a time where you want to turn the pedals with anger.” I like to use songs that communicate this type of intensity in my class when I'm looking for a very focused, very determined effort.

That was a common request on the survey I conducted earlier this summer. OK, I suppose it's time I operate this as more of a team effort, so you've got it. Over this past year I have had the chance to meet some incredible people who impressed me with their passion for Indoor Cycling and demonstrated the ability to communicate effectively. So I asked some if them if they would like to submit articles to be published here. They all said yes! None of them are Professionals, yet.
