[The following is from Jennifer Sage's post at ICI/Pro on March 24, 2010.]
I spent this past weekend in Boston and Vermont. Thankfully the previous week’s deluge had passed and I was blessed with great weather. I headed east for several reasons, one of which was to meet with Tom Scotto of Stage5 Cycling to learn more about his certification program and how I (and ICI) can get more involved. I also went out to be a part of the instructor team for the 6-hour Ride for a Reason fundraiser in Burlington, Vermont on Sunday. That was a fantastic experience, but I’ll write about that in another post.
I had the great fortune of taking one of Tom’s classes. He teaches at multiple facilities; this one was at Fitcorp at the Harvard Medical Center. I have to say that it was one of the most cycling specific classes I have ever personally taken, one of two classes actually. Yes, in 13 years of taking Spinning classes, even at WSSC, I’ve not experienced a class quite like it, not from Josh Taylor, not from Johnny G, not from any “Spinning” instructor. The other one was a class (not a Spinning® class) I took 10 years ago from Dave Scott, elite triathlete and coach and 6-time Ironman world champion. But Tom’s class was amazing in every way – he has a unique skill of coaching that transcends almost anyone I’ve ever heard.
