YOGA CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Discovering yoga saved my life. During Viet Nam I was stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. working as a Specialist in the Psychiatric Hospital. The war was at its peak and the stress from working within the hospital and the particular ward I was working on was legend. There were patients who had been in combat one day and in our ward the next. If you remember MASH it wasn’t too far from that craziness. Like everyone I was suffering from an overload and I could tell it was taking its toll on me.
YOGA A GREAT WAY TO RELAX
Searching for ways to relax I became involved with a gym nearby where I could exercise hard and burn off the toxins of my day. While there I noticed they had something I’d never heard of before, a yoga class. The ad mentioned relaxation so I jumped at the chance and before I knew it I was stretching and twisting and deep breathing, and relaxing like I had as a kid. From that point on I knew I was hooked and I have been practicing yoga ever since. That has been 36 years ago.
YOGA CAN BRING BALANCE TO THE BODY AND MIND
Within the stress of our lives we quite often find ourselves so far out of balance that something significant has to happen to bring us back to center. Yoga can be the answer. Fantastic alone, but even better with a full exercise program, yoga is the natural compliment to all other forms of movement and play. Practiced regularly yoga allows us to return to that central balance for all of our body systems to function at full efficiency.
YOGA WORKS!
The thing is, yoga works. It is not a fad or gimmick that talks a big game, but an ancient, proven discipline that has been practiced for thousands of years with astounding results. When done properly yoga improves the body systems in deep and subtle ways. Practicing yoga ultimately allows us to relax and enjoy our lives the way we deserve. We owe ourselves the opportunity to experience this kind of living.
YOGA IN AUSTELL, GA
To go on and on with words is of no use to the novice. One has to experience the joy of a few great classes to understand the profound feeling of change that begins to take place within the body and the mind. Yoga has come to Austell, GA. in the name of Group Centergy, and the classes are held at Gold’s Gym. Once you feel the difference in your work, your thoughts, your sleep and your fun, like me, your life will never be the same. Life is good.

Why Ride?
Isn’t perception funny? This is especially true when seeing just how members view the “pounding” they expect to take during a Group Ride class at Gold’s Gym West Cobb, GA. I hear comments such as, “You all seem to be working so hard”, or, my favorite, “I’ll take that class when I get in better shape.” In truth it all boils down to how the Group Ride experience is viewed or perceived in the eyes of the beholder. How things appear to change when you build the courage to take a class. Then the view changes from one previously held to,” I should have started earlier”, “it’s really only as hard as you want to make it”, or, again a favorite of mine, “show me how to take it to the next level”. So why ride? I can say that it certainly is not for the pounding. No one would ever return if that were the case. Yet the Group Ride program is one of the more popular classes we offer. And if judged on the number of classes offered (approximately 30 per week in Austell, GA) it is the most popular. Why? I think at some level members like to live the perception of taking on something tough. There’s a pride in association with a program viewed as worthy of the fitness elite.
Lose Weight in Group Ride!
Dropping down a level or two there are reasons more practical while less psychological. Group Ride works! The class experience delivers on its promise of enhancing or increasing cardio-vascular fitness in a very personally measurable way. The participant “feels” the progress he or she makes over time (and not a very long time at that). I don’t care how it’s gauged, either fewer rest breaks, longer time up and out of the saddle, or more resistance, progress is made. More importantly, it’s personal progress in the sense that you are quickly getting better at something in ways you don’t have to be told. Making progress is good. You discover it yourself! So it boils down to “progress” and not the “pounding”. I can’t tell you just how good it feels to watch a member take simple personal pride in just “making it through class”.
Lose Body Fat in Group Ride
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not discounting the benefits to core strength, increased Vo2 max, or drop in body fat, etc. You just don’t have to go that far and measure all those things to know that something good is happening to you after a short time enjoying the ride class experience.
And that’s where I come back to the beginning. Individually you’ve been intimidated by a perception which almost kept you from trying Ride. Then you broke down some personal barrier and took your first class, and many since. Then, in some perverse way you want to return to having survived the pounding, and want others to know you did, perpetuating the myth. You are in an elite class of group fitness participants. Isn’t perception funny?
