I'm a certified spin instructor, and some clubs claim to have spinning, but it's not the original created by Johnny G. Totally understand if you don't ever want to take another spin class, but I would recommend finding a place that offers actual spinning (not cycling). :) I used to be a spin addict, that's why I got certified.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264648257398440130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056853145561997056.post-38623764866776991112012-01-06T11:47:00.373-05:002012-01-06T11:47:00.373-05:00Did you decide on a new blog name??

Spinning isn't for everyone though, and if you know what you enjoy for workouts, then I'd say just stick to that.<br /><br />When is your birthday, I'm turning 25 on Feb 10 - we must be pretty close to eachother!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JennaJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238434752028472905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056853145561997056.post-41997618315837413002012-01-06T02:20:48.872-05:002012-01-06T02:20:48.872-05:00I loved reading through your lists.

Sometimes I wonder if I am missing out by not trying spinning in one of the nyc studios. Your review just confirmed that it would not be for me. Probably good because that is not an amount of money I want to spend regularly. I'd much rather go for a run :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056853145561997056.post-20928244404170823842012-01-05T23:11:28.471-05:002012-01-05T23:11:28.471-05:00oh, and also? spin shouldn't cost more than li...oh, and also? spin shouldn't cost more than like $12 a class. it's like bikram yoga--you pay for the instructor's time. and no instructor is worth $32/person.LAPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857776340756713109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056853145561997056.post-25284066724639839402012-01-05T23:10:37.225-05:002012-01-05T23:10:37.225-05:00There's two types of spin: 1) spin with gimmic...There's two types of spin: 1) spin with gimmicks (like the pushup crap), and 2) spin for cyclists. The classes I take mimic outdoor routes, and you use the spin bike like you would a regular road bike. The intensity builds on hills, and we do sprints and speed work like you would training for outdoor biking. 80% of my spin classes are in the saddle, like they are when you bike (unlike gimmicky classes that have you standing up and down and up and down etc). Try another place before you write it off. Also, it took me a couple months of going at LEAST once a week before I was 100% comfortable with posture, intensity, etc.LAPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857776340756713109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056853145561997056.post-51580024160745133952012-01-05T21:40:18.711-05:002012-01-05T21:40:18.711-05:00Thats a new experience.
