This past weekend was one of the busiest weekends I’ve had in quite some time, the proof being that it took me until Wednesday to rest up to post about it. Even though I was on the go almost the whole time, I got my sweat on quite a bit and had an absolute blast in the process.
My Saturday began at Pedal NYC for a 30/30 class – 30 minutes spin followed by 30 minutes of TRX. It was my first time trying both spin and TRX, so I was a bit nervous. The event was hosted by my fellow Fitfluential Ambassador, Talia of Bite Size Wellness.
After getting a bit lost, I got to Pedal just in time for the spin warmup. After this spin class, I can’t wait to get to another one soon. The room was dark, the music loud and I was able to get in the zone and just follow Mr. Ray’s voice to push myself. My legs felt a bit like jello after we finished, but it was only the first half of the class.
We moved over to the TRX room where we split into two groups. While one group did the move on the TRX the other group did a move off to the side. On the TRX we did squat pulls, bicep curls and star jumps, while the people on the side did clap squats, held planks and mountain climbers.
After we were done with the TRX we went outdoors to do a few laps in the courtyard before posing for some group shots.
After the class, I rushed home, showered, grabbed some sushi and headed to the salon to get my hair cut. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that it had been almost a year since my last haircut, but I’ve been so busy that I couldn’t find the time to get to the salon. I love my stylist and she always does an awesome job cutting my hair. I’ve never been disappointed.
After my haircut, I rushed back home to get changed and ready for the party that Tommy and I were attending that night. The party was a work function with Tommy’s coworkers, and it was held on Ellis Island! I didn’t even know that the island could be rented for events before hearing about this party. The weather was perfect for a night on the island, and we had amazing, clear views of the city all night long.
The party was a blast and it was nice getting all dressed up. Especially since the next day I would be rolling around in the mud!
How often do you get your hair cut? Where’s the coolest place you’ve been to a party?
How fun! I am obsessed with TRX….such a good workout!
I get my hair cut about 4 times a year. I like my hair LONG!

I really loved the TRX. Definitely want to try it again. MY hair is currently the longest its been in my life! I get tempted to chop it off sometimes, but I know I will regret it if I do.
What an amazing place to have a party! I had no idea that you could rent out Ellis Island. Not sure I’ve even been there? And the spin/TRX class looks like fun. LOVE that group photo.

I was surprised when Tommy told me. I was like are you sure it\’s on Ellis Island? You can rent out the Statue of Liberty and the Bronx Zoo too! I got interested and looked up cool places for parties.
What gorgeous views of the city skyline!

Wow, that a beautiful view of the city! I pinned the picture of the TRX room. It gave me a great idea for adding TRX to my fitness center. Those classes sound great. Love the TRX.

Awesome! I\’d love to hear about it! 🙂
I get my hair cut like twice a year, but my husband recently started going more often so I think I might as well.

My boyfriend goes at least once a month, but he wears his hair really short and it gets funky looking if he doesn\’t cut it. We came to the conclusion that he spends more on his hair than I do! Haha
SUCH a cool place for a party! And it looks like your classes at Pedal were a lot of fun! 🙂

It was an awesome venue for the party! I was blown away by the view and the set up of the whole event. The Pedal class was a butt kicking, but a blast!
You look so pretty in the picture of you and Tommy! Such a great picture of the two of you 🙂

Wow – sounds like you had lots of fun 🙂
I am in need of a hair cut, last had it cut in January, but they went shorter than I wanted. It is now the ideal length, but could do with a tidy up before I go on vacation.
