Tonight was it. The last spin class of this season! I can't believe that we did it! Coach Peggy brought cookies for the occasion, but she didn't let up tonight! She kept her promise of making the classes tough and that she lives up to her name, "SPINZILLA"!
Seriously, if it weren't for Coach Peggy and her Spin classes, I would definitely be in a lot of trouble! Since she knew all the routes that we were doing (she was a TNT Coach for many years), she knew how to prepare us for each ride! And that she did!
At the beginning of the class I was curious where she normally taught Spin classes and she said that she didn't anymore. She had in fact retired from teaching Spin classes. But it was Head Coach Patrick who convinced her to come back. What's even more amazing is that not only did Coach Peggy donate her valuable time each week, she donated lots and lots of money towards The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Each week, she would keep the classes fun by asking participants to guess artists and titles of songs that she played during our classes. She would throw around $10 - $25 here and there to those who guessed correctly. But that's nothing...as I've told you in the past, she has also challenged each person to come to each and everyone of her classes...if you did, $100 towards your fundraising! There were 4 of us who got the $100 each! Now, couple that with her time to get us in shape, and I'll tell you, that is one generous and extraordinary lady!
I will definitely miss going to Spin classes on Thursday evenings! I will definitely keep riding the Spin bike in my own gym, but I know it won't be the same without Coach Peggy leading us! Cheers to you Coach Peggy, and yes, I will definitely be riding for your cat Tripod (Coach Peggy's 3 legged cat who has Leukemia)!
