Spinning a love story at Warner Bros.
Boot camps before meetings? Yoga classes at lunch? Workouts near or at work are convenient and efficient. But if you happen to be employed at Warner Bros. in Burbank, there’s more to it than accessibility.
On Fridays when the sitcom “Mike & Molly” isn’t shooting, actor Reno Wilson teaches a 45-minute spinning class to anyone on the lot who shows up; many of his students are staff and crew from his show.
Wilson leads spinning classes for love. Yes, he has a love of spinning, but it’s more about his love for the student who was front and center at one recent class: his wife, Coco Fausone-Wilson, a yoga and spinning instructor at YAS Fitness Centers.
Coco introduced Wilson to spinning, and when she began training to be a teacher, he went to classes with her. He took to wearing YAS shirts on set, prompting questions about when he would start teaching too. So he took on the challenge.
