Last Thursday, I attended the seminar about Chantelle’s journey to becoming a fitness club business owner. On Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend one of her classes- spinning. This was my first spin class, and I had a lot more fun than I thought I would. First, the ambiance of the room promoted a mindset that made the workout seem more of a fun activity- it was a dark room with colorful lights and music that allowed me to spin to the beat. In some ways, it felt like I was in a dance club but I was spinning rather than dancing. Second, it was enjoyable to have a group of people spinning with me- it made me feel accountable to give it my all. Yet at the same time, I felt like at some points I was just all alone and focusing on my individual workout. It was very stress relieving. Finally, I thought Chantelle was a great instructor who motivated us to push ourselves a little harder each time, yet I never felt like I had to push myself to the point of pain. Overall, this was a very fun first experience, and I definitely think I will do it again.
