I like to try new things, but group fitness and the members
I met through those classes are what really keep me coming back to Canton Club
(CC). I went to cycling last night with
Jacki Dalsimer. For those of you who are
newish to CC, Jacki was Fitness Director for several years. She left to pursue a more 9-5 job as she has
two young children.
Jacki teaches cycling on Monday nights at 6 pm. It is high intensity intervals and it is
DIFFICULT. Now, that’s not to say you
shouldn’t try it if you are new, but don’t expect to keep up with the rest of
us your first time. That’s okay, because
Jacki reminds us, “This is YOUR ride.”
Often set to electric dance music, you think you are
partying at the club, but endorphins are the only thing making you high. Jacki has this unique ability to find songs
that are 10+ minutes and save them for the end of her 45 minute class. You will think the song is close to over, but
then the beat will take off and pull you back in. Jacki will motivate you to get through the
ENTIRE thing and you will feel like a marathon runner crossing the finish line
every single time. Sometimes, you will
even have it in you to sing along (e.g., dance version of Four Non Blondes,
“What’s Up?”).
I can’t say enough great things about the Monday 6 pm
cycling experience. Come on. I’ll ride with you.
