Is spinning:
Dr. Elisha Bar-Meir had been a member of a Haifa health club for a year before he went there for the first time – when his daughter, Michal, dragged him to a spinning class. "Since then, I haven't gotten off the bike," admits Bar-Meir. The radiologist and his 30-year-old daughter, an emergency room nurse, spin together three times a week.
They are not exceptional at Holmes Place in Haifa: Ten of the 55 spinning bicycles are usually occupied by parent-child teams. They train together, and after class often share orange-carrot juice or soy cappuccinos.
Family teams, like those at instructor Ilana Dankner's classes, are not unusual in the spinning scene – parents often drag children there, or vice versa. In some cases this has changed the lives of the participants, as in the case of Bar-Meir. Michal initially signed up when the two joined a diet program that required physical activity. Five years later, they are still spinning side by side, gesturing to each other with their hands. "One gesture means a song we like is about to come on, and another means we're going to drink orange-carrot juice together after the class," says Bar-Meir, revealing what occupies their minds during the session.
And there you have it, folks. Yuppies exist in Israel too.
