He usually updates his facebook page the night before. If you get there at 9:15ish and stand in line, you are pretty much guaranteed to get in. Good luck! =)My Superficial Endeavorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220904357778485635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642985014932236090.post-14370431015788121952011-07-12T14:56:14.617-07:002011-07-12T14:56:14.617-07:00HI.

I'm in RI and will be in LA on a family vacation and am going to try to get into his class. I called CRUNCH and the girl gave me the directions, pointers, and suggestions to get in! My trainer trains one of the season 5 contestants and hopefully I will be able to get on the "guest" list! Do you have any other suggestions to assure my trip to CRUNCH will be filled with BOB!! yelling at me!!! I'd love the opportunity to go...thanks.

I couldn't believe it because I had just read your blog the night before. It definitely looks like an intense class. I spin 3 days a week and have for 3 years but I can't imagine being on my forearms and out of the saddle for most of the class. I wish I lived close by and could check out the class. It's always fun to try new workouts. I hope you enjoy your new gym. I would like to try anti-gravity yoga, it looks very interesting. I should look for something like that in my area.Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642985014932236090.post-86484158640643299842011-03-22T10:56:12.487-07:002011-03-22T10:56:12.487-07:00Awesome !

Fun to read a first person account of one of his classes - I always see his posts on FB that he's going to teach.

I'm assuming it is the same as Aerial Yoga where you do it in a sling? I've done this and it's super fun. I actually do Aerial Arts (Silk, rope, trapeze, hoop) so I need an advanced class which I haven't found yet. But if you've never tried Aerials I would really recommend at least trying it. It's super fun and an amazing stretch. Also you work some upper body without really noticing it. I've put on a lot of upper body mass from my aerial classes - though that is a lot tougher as you have to carry your own body weight up a rope multiple times in a class, but still. Worth a try.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484298418090750406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642985014932236090.post-4030915602121702542011-03-21T22:14:47.793-07:002011-03-21T22:14:47.793-07:00Yeah... it is annoying.

It will def not be a weekly thing for me - I don't have 4 hours to waste every Sat morning. But he travels a lot anyways so he only teaches there once in a blue moon. You kind of have to stalk him on facebook cuz he usually posts.

Or maybe I'm biased b/c I like him from the show. Hehe.<br /><br />@momof5: Who is the rumored acquirer? I've heard of buyout rumors before about Lulu. I wouldn't be surprised if there is / has been takeover bids, since that industry is very competitive and Lulu is growing very fast. Takeovers most of the time will make money for shareholders. But not necessarily a good thing for us consumers, unless they keep the company intact, which I think any acquirer will since the brand is strong. I wonder if Lulu has strong anti-takeover provisions.My Superficial Endeavorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220904357778485635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642985014932236090.post-11295177149025871892011-03-20T10:01:31.412-07:002011-03-20T10:01:31.412-07:00OT --my superficial endeavors --- I was wondering ...OT --my superficial endeavors --- I was wondering if you heard anything about the rumored sale of lulu--<br /><br />http://www.benzinga.com/news/rumors/11/03/933699/unconfirmed-rumors-circulate-that-lululemon-athletica-will-be-acquired-at-1momof5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642985014932236090.post-8981952675612971952011-03-19T22:14:11.854-07:002011-03-19T22:14:11.854-07:00I guess I'd give a pass to Bob Harper but I re...I guess I'd give a pass to Bob Harper but I really hate bossy spin teachers. I wear a heart rate monitor so I know how hard I am working but sometimes I need to modify things because my ITB is bugging me or my sciatic is acting up.

But how I ended up picking all losers is beyond me. Doesn't the law of probability say that you should have 50% chance of picking winners? I'm in last place out of 70 or so people that are participating at my work. I also have another bracket I'm doing with friends for fun and I picked differently but somehow managed to be in last place as well. *Sigh... my boss said to me "I don't understand, did you not fill out your bracket?". Hmmm... I did, I just picked the wrong teams.... lol... he said "that's impressive".<br /><br />@Fisherman's Wife: I love that pullover he wears on the Turbo tax commercial! My fiance almost bought it too, but he missed his chance and they were sold out. Haha. I don't get why Bob is in a Turbo tax commercial though?
