Phit Inspiration - Ruth Zukerman

Ruth Zukerman, founder of Flywheel Sports, is a Phit inspiration.  I saw this photo of the 54-year old and immediately dusted off my Spinning shoes.

My bias about fitness instructors is obvious, and Flywheel won my heart early on for the way they promote their instructors.  They don't pretend that it's a gym or a membership that makes the difference, they know it's the instructor and they put a spotlight on their teachers.

That is impressive.  So is the fact that Flywheel has multiple locations including Dubai.  Dubai, for crying out loud!  

But back to Zukerman.  Impressive businesswoman, impressive motivator - I certainly want to acknowledge that first.  Kudos Ms. Zukerman, you are a true inspiration.

And then the piece of this I am clearly blown away by... that body, that skin -- at 54 years old?   Wow.

Love Group Fitness? You'll love these sites.

Earlier in the week I shared the new site Go Recess -- and I've used it everyday since. 

If I want to do yoga at lunchtime, I simply click "Yoga" and choose "afternoon" from the drop down menu and -- Wha La! -- 17 classes to choose from appear, along with the instructor and distance from my home.

And today I've found another new site that I love!   Rate Your Burn allows students to rate and review their favorite instructors.  Yoga, cycling, bootcamps -- all kinds of classes!

Though it's only for Boston, New York and LA, it's still very interesting. (Since I visit those cities frequently, I will be using the site!)

I know the celebrity-esque of it will turn off some fitness professionals, but I love that the talented, hard-working instructors have a place to shine.  Click here to see where the site features the top trending instructors in NYC right now.
