What a terrible experience. No excuse for that, especially if you said you had an injury. As a fitness instructor that is just irresponsible, and for me takes away your credibility as a fitness professional. I wish you had written about it on NBC New York..did you? Maybe I missed it.

Thanks, Maggie! It has been harder than I thought! On another note I dont know why this comment is not showing up on my blog. Will look into this.

Ryan-thanks so much for your comment. The topic is one which really incenses people, both for and against, and is why I wanted to put it out there. I really appreciate your thoughtful response.

I did want to clarify that I did not just jump into the front-row. I have spun for many years and have sat front-row center many times, also in other Soul classes, like Danny's and Charlee's, and have never had a sync issue. That was why I didn't think it would have been such a problem to sit where I sat.

I will agree with you that seeing the synchronized pack in the mirror is a pretty amazing sight!

Finally, I did not mean any disrespect to Janet, and I tried to ensure that this post not to be misinterpreted that way. I found her to be incredibly warm, and watching her pre- and post- class it was clear that she cares greatly about her riders.

I may not whole-heartedly agree with riders being relegated to rows based on experience, but I respect that that is the philosophy at SC. It's what SC riders expect, for the reasons you described, and is why SC instructors try to maintain that environment.

Thanks again for your comment!

I've never heard of noodle pudding! Now I'm curious to try it!

I've never had matzo ball soup either, despite having lived in New York so long!

I know what you mean. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did and was really surprised at what a great workout it was.

Alright, the next time you are in NYC you must look me up!

That's hilarious-yes, that is quite a distance to have walked!
