Do I Need A Special Shoe for Spin Class?

It depends on what class you take: at most gyms, you can wear regular gym shoes. But specialized studios have bikes that only work with cycling/spinning shoes.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR CLASS

POPULAR SPIN CLASS TERMS

FIND YOUR RESISTANCE KNOB

For most bikes, if you turn the knob to the right, you add resistance. Turning left decreases the resistance.

RIDING AT A FLAT ROAD

"SADDLE UP" OR "LET'S STAND"

AT HOME SPIN CLASS OPTIONS

If you’re looking to make spinning a regular part of your exercise routine and like the option to have it in your own home, then doing your research on which bike is best for you might be worthwhile!

GUIDE TO YOUR FIRST SPIN CLASS

HOW DOES SPIN CLASS WORK?

In spin class, you pedal along on a stationary bike as the instructor guides you through a visualization of an outdoor workout.

Do I Need A Special Shoe for Spin Class?

WHAT TO WEAR FOR CLASS

EXAMPLE: A moisture-wicking, breathable shirt will be your best bet. For bottoms, you can choose from a pair of leggings or shorts.

POPULAR SPIN CLASS TERMS

1. Find your resistance knob 2. Riding at a flat road

FIND YOUR RESISTANCE KNOB

RIDING AT A FLAT ROAD

It’s the point on your resistance knob that gives you some resistance on your wheel to support your ride without pushing too hard.

"SADDLE UP" OR "LET'S STAND"

To stand, you shift your weight forward so that your booty is out of the seat and your weight is over your pedals.

AT HOME SPIN CLASS OPTIONS

One of the most popular options on the market today is the Peloton.

If you’re looking to make spinning a regular part of your exercise routine and like the option to have it in your own home, then doing your research on which bike is best for you might be worthwhile!
