spin instructor
I'm coaching a spin class tomorrow. Just got the call. I'm sub-ing for the sub coach. So, I'm the sub's sub. The regular sub is actually the hardest spin coach I have ever biked with. I can't believe it. I actually can't belive he thinks I can sub for him.
This sub had his own class for 6 weeks, it was an Athlete's Only Spin Bootcamp. It was supposed to help get people ready for spring. It kicked my puny butt. Like jello legs and light headed. Last Wednesday was the last class and he told this story about a girl who popped into the a.m. spin class and never left. How he saw her change from a wuss on a bike getting winded during the easiest spin class at the gym, to a person he would be proud to call an athlete. He was talking about me, and he started the Athlete Only Spin Bootcamp for me. He promptly made me get off my bike and give him 5 push-ups for missing the previous class. (He called me an athlete! I don't think I've been an athlete since I was swim team captain.) I pressured him ever since he sub-ed for that morning class and pretended to be a drill sergeant. He ran us through a bike bootcamp experience. Well, he was a Marine drill sergeant. And I loved that class. I have to say, spin has changed me.
I'm a sub's sub spin/cycle coach. I'm grinning like a loon right now. But there are actual cyclers in that class. Like Lance Armstrong wanna-be's. Now I'm nervous. Maybe I need a new cool spin coach outfit. Something that demands respect. In red.
I guess I'll have to get my certification if I want to continue doing this. I'm nervous.
