I'll be at the Club Industry fitness show in Chicago Thursday and Friday meeting with our new sponsor/contributor LiveStrong Indoor Cycling by Matrix and record a formal introduction to all of you to learn more about them. While I'm there, I will be participating in some virtual rides lead by LiveStrong's Master Instructor and Head of Education, Jim Karanas. Jim's rides will feature some stunning video produced by their partner Virtual Active. I got a sneak peak of these cycling videos while I was in San Francisco last month. The quality rivals anything you've seen in a theater… seriously, they're so good you'll think they were CG (computer generated) and I know your classes will love watching them.
Will you be there? If so I would love to meet you and possibly ride with you at the LiveStrong Indoor Cycling display at Booth # 901 .
Send me a note and let's connect.
