Getting Started – FAQs

I've never taken a Spinning class before. What should I expect?

Every class is a little different, but one of the great things about the workout is that it is adaptable to your fitness level. Remember that there's no competition. Listen to your body and adjust the resistance on your bike accordingly.  


 Do I have to be in great shape to participate in a Spinning class?
Anyone can benefit! And because you can go at your own pace by controlling the resistance on your bike, taking this class is a great way to get fit.

 

What makes Indoor Cycling(Spin) different from other group exercise classes?

Invigorating music and visualization come together to make Indoor Cycling(Spin) both fun and effective.   If you have ever left a group exercise class feeling frustrated, you'll appreciate that there are no complicated moves to learn. Regardless of how fit, flexible or coordinated you are, you'll get a great workout.   
Simply get help setting up your bike, hop on to your bike, and let your instructor guide you through an incredible ride.

 

How many calories will I burn in a Session, and what is the approximate equivalent distance in road miles travelled?

The number of calories you'll burn depends on a number of factors, including your weight and the intensity at which you exercise.  However, on average, participants burn about 400–500 calories in a 40-minute workout.   
The "distance" travelled depends on cadence.  Again on average a 40-minute class at a cadence of 80–110 rpm is equivalent to approximately 15–20 miles on the road.

 

How is taking an Indoor Bike(Spin) class different than just riding a stationary bike?  

Indoor Cycling(Spin) class makes riding a stationary more bike fun by adding variety and visualization into your workout. A motivating group setting, energizing music and inspiring instructor makes this class an incredible experience.

 

Will taking this type of class make my legs bulk up?

The "climbs" that are incorporated into a class, simulate the experience of riding up a hill. Climbing is an excellent way to build strength, which means you not only get shapelier legs but also stoke your metabolism since muscle needs more calories to sustain its self than fat does. However, most climbs only last a few minutes, which is not enough time to build big, bulky leg and butt muscles. 

 

Why should I wear a heart rate monitor?

By wearing a heart rate monitor, you will be better equipped to assess the intensity of your ride and determine when to push harder, maintain your pace or reduce your effort. By taking the guesswork out of your workout you maximize your efficiency while minimizing your odds of overtraining, injury and burnout.
