Today we went to Chantelle’s spin class at Flx Fit Club after hearing her seminar on Thursday. This semester I’m enrolled in the Spin PE class that meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:45am. Even though I’ve gone to classes regularly, the class was still difficult. After going to more classes, you’re more aware of your limits like what resistance/ speed you can go at. This class was different than the ones they offer at Noyes because it’s in a dark room with nothing but four dim colored spotlights and strips of Christmas lights along the walls. At Noyes, you’re surrounded by mirrors and encouraged to stare at yourself to focus and motivate yourself to keep going. The mirrors make you feel like you’re surrounded by a lot more people. I like the isolation and the concentration this class allows because you can just look at your bike and be alone. I enrolled in my PE class alone, but I went to this class with my friend Jessica. Even though it’s a group fitness class, I still think that spin is a very isolated exercise. At the end you are able to connect and talk to people who just shared the same rigorous workout. Professor Fontaine also brought up the fact that we probably never worked out with a professor because, and I think this just emphasizes the fact that working out together evens the plain fields and erases social distinctions we’re usually separated by.
