What is indoor spin?
Indoor spinning classes take place on a stationary bike and are known for energy-infused music and motivating instructors who guide you through a 45 to 90-minute workout. You will follow the instructor’s cues, you’ll “climb” hills by cranking up the resistance on the bike, increase your pedaling speed for short interval bursts and challenge yourself. Each class begins with a warm-up and ends with a cool-down period.
Spinning is perfect for all fitness levels!
