Do you notice, if you attend SS, that you are generally more fit than the group?
Yes. However, I don't take any classes - I just utilize the free gym membership and visit the stationary bikes at Planet Fitness. I do this only when weather is bad, or the days are too hot. While there, I spin "easily" at about 85 rpm on one of their recumbents, and I'm a couple levels fitter than most others there, even the young 'uns. (I'm 68)
