  Hey Raina ! well yes the big chains are still shirking paying the now very low ppca fee even though the whole issue is resolved... i just hope at some point LMI stop producing the ppca free versions so that the gyms have to fall in line again, i don't understand why LM haven't stopped doing it now .. anyway we'll see. 54 went down well, had a request for T5 the first class i didn't play it so .. those that go to work hard have liked it, those who go just for fun haven't .. i know which group i'm more concerned about ! Looking forward to 55, how's everything going there ?

  well 3 rpm 54 classes down and not one "i hate that track 5" .. had a few "that was weird" comments but they've all appreciated the intensity of the workout. The whole release flows really well, other than track 2 which to me feels flat as.. but .. as you said after waiting for new music for 4 months and with our miniscule ppca free repertoire ... totally gagging for it !!! The ppca free thing stinks, it's soo bad when even your favourite songs make you think "oh not again" ... The annoying thing is the issue has been settled, now it's the the major gym chains not paying the license again because they want to save money, never mind what the members & instructors think !!! Anyway that's enough of my moaning .. are you guys still doing 54 or back to mixing now ? cheers mate

  Hey Raina .. Paris ?? oh now i hate you !!! man i am jealous .. Well the big 54 launch is this weekend, tomorrow and then Monday night i'm lucky enough to do two !! I am dying to see how it goes down, esp T5 I trained on Piranha so weird 5's don't worry me, they're meant to be gritty and visceral !! I'm just hanging to play some new stuff, this era of ppca free is murder, i hope there's some good stuff in 55 ?? Keep posting, it's always good to read a voice of reason from someone who obviously understands the programs !!! I'll let you know how 54 is received. cheers Jack

  Hey Raina, i've been meaning to message you since JennyHunter had a go at you after you put her in her place about 1983, i really enjoy reading your informative posts about rpm & other LM stuff. I must say it's great to see different people taking on the challenge of instructing, i was a little bigger when i started instructing, and i think you are setting a terrific example to everyone that anyone can get fit and have a go at instructing regardless of physical gifts or prowess. Your classes must be a scream with your sense of humour and wit, keep up the good work !! btw i liked the yellow jersey you had on in .. 52 or 51 ?? i've got the same one !! cheers mate Jack

  Hey! Howsit going? Things have been great since module. I teach 1-2 classes every week which I love. Am hoping to tape this week to send in for certification, so fingers crossed on that one. What about you? Hows the weight training going - are you enjoying it?

  LOL!!! You are so funny. Yes Susan does recycle moves from time to time. In 7 we had to have the ball in that same crazy position and move our knee to the side AND one legged squats. Hated it, and I know I'll hate it in 15. But my job is to smile and laugh even louder at myself when it goes bye bye!! Luckily I have a small vive ball that I won't let anyone but me use because its the only one that fits my hands!!! Seriously though, I wish susan would say something about the vive ball sizes because those basketball size ones are just rediculous!!! :) Keep on Vivin girl!!! Catherine P.S. When are YOU going to go through vive training. I just KNOW you'd be AWESOME!!!! Wish you were here to help me out. I'm the only one of my kind:)
