Spin class can often seem intimidating because there are a lot of people in a dark room. People are peddling very fast and often an instructor yells loudly in a motivating manner. If it's your first time taking spin class you may shy away from this type of cardiovascular activity.Trying different types of cardiovascular activities are great. Spin class is especially great for people who find running on treadmills boring and even for people with knee issues.
Members and clients always tell me they are worried they won't be able to keep up, but everyone goes at their own pace. I always tell people who are taking spin class for the first time this may be the most difficult class they take. Getting used to the seats and the resistance may take some time. The biggest compliant is usually that the seats are uncomfortable, but 9 out of 10 times people love the class! Over time you get used to the seat and if you don't, there are always bike shorts or padded seats.
