Guest post by Lucky Penny

Lucky Penny was never one to shy away from a workout while she lived away from home… from hiking canyons in Los Angeles to window shopping (form of cardio, n’est pas?) in Notting Hill. But she never quite understood the appeal of spinning.

The very idea of being confined to a stationary bike in a hot, sweaty mess seemed hugely unappealing. that all changed last year. With the bitter cold months ahead, and a climb up Kilimanjaro looming… it was time to give a spin class at Quad a go.

Located right below Century Room on King Street, her first class was brutal. Lucky Penny could barely walk (let alone sit) for two days. But being surrounded by bikers of all levels, she felt comfortable peddling at her own pace. There is even a live DJ for extra motivation!

Twelve months later, she is an addict. My name is Lucky Penny. I am a spin-aholic.

All the teachers are wonderful, but take special note of her favourites. (1) Magdalena is the ultimate supportive cheerleader. (2) George is a butt buster, and full of tough love (he also runs the bootcamp at Flirty Girl Fitness). (3) Quintin has the best themed classes… Metal rock? Yes, please. (4) Micheline is truly inspiring. She founded all the quad locations, and manages to coach every student in a full class.


Lucky Penny loves to shop all things gorge, indulge her culinary palette, and explore the city (Toronto, that is).
This is a daily blog written by two lovelies (whose fifteen year friendship started back in awkward grade seven). One moved to sunny California, and charmed all the beautiful people in film and production. The other, a former science geek, tripped and fell into the fashion editorial and luxury goods PR in Canada and abroad.
These golden nuggets must only be shared amongst her nearest and dearest. Lucky Penny can’t keep a secret. Can you?
