He's encouraging and always tries to get you to do your best during the exercise classes. He's fun and makes the class easy but you learn too. I would take him again in a heartbeat!

Everything is based on a point system and will ultimately determine what your grade is at the end of the semester. Showing up everyday, doing extra credit such as spin classes, donating blood, etc. will earn you points. The more points you accumulate the better your grade, & the less likely you'll have to take the final. Really great teacher! :)
