Before Njinga
I've been an avid cyclist since the early 90s and over the years, I've done (quite literally) hundreds of spinning classes both in the US and the UK. So when my wife Sylvia bought me some training sessions with Njinga, I assumed they would be the same as I've always experienced.
But I was wrong: there was something decidedly different about these classes.
