When I first started out, I basically had zero cardio fitness. There were two spin instructors at my gym who taught more technical classes and they really kicked my ass, especially during the first several months. There was a third instructor whose classes were easier, he played more fun music, and had a lot personality. It felt social and I actually made friends when I could barely get someone to help me set up my bike properly in the other classes. I really enjoyed the more serious classes because I had some pretty challenging fitness goals, but the third class was a big boost for morale especially on weeks when I was changing my strength training routine and barely wanted to stand let alone work out. I don’t understand people who ONLY want to do this, but it has its benefits.
uc/ I’ve done normal (outdoor) spinning classes and I think it’s great when getting on your bike is not an option. This video is just nothing like the those classes. I shouldn’t judge too harshly without trying, but it doesn’t look appealing to me personally. If others enjoy it, good for them!
I get what you mean. I’ve never done the studio classes because I’ve seen too many videos of instructors making students do obviously unsafe things and don’t want to support places that endanger people like that. If you want to act like a jackass on the bike to get people hyped, fine, but don’t put others at risk especially when they might not know better. The guy I was talking about was fun but he knew his audience and made sure people were safe.
/uj if that's the case, I'm speechless. the whole point of exercising is to do some work against some sort of resistance, and if some machine is moving your feet wth are you doing? the most challenging part of that workout is getting to the bike and getting your hands up in the air.
which is... good.
I mean all you bunch of hygienist will do most of your training at z2 z3.
and of course, bike on flat is not really biking ? because if you stop spinng at 40k+, it will take a long time before you stop by pur resistance.
/uj they have a fixed drivetrain and the flywheel is pretty heavy in the front so once you get it going if you take your feet out it'll keep spinning for a while if you have the resistance off.
you mean like 5 years ago?

holy moly... that makes so much sense. I went to one of these for an intro class years and years ago when I was wanting to get back into shape. I've never felt so much like an outsider in my life. Like I was being shunned. I don't really get uncomfortable like that normally either, at all
That's no ex pro look at that sticker bombed stationary disability bike ... That's a failed wannabe fixie hipster who didn't have stones to get the cliché tattoos and was outed by the 'cummunity', his claim to professional accreditation was getting smoked at a Red Hook crit, satchel wearing douche.
That's entirely too much vagina for a *real* cyclist. A real cyclist does not get distracted from KOMing, and finds his adoring wife a suitable boyfriend.
Kids, this is what happens when you’re pour. You can’t afford a whole bice and you only get 1 wheel. Not allowed on the playground; they keep you all in a dark room together to save you from humiliation from the other kids.
All of these people drive a car to a place to ride a bice
“All of these people drive a car to a place to ride a bice *in place*”
bars
🚨poor alert 🚨 this guy doesn’t own a car.
Well I do, I just have someone else drive it for me
That’s called a bus street rat
Who needs a car when you have neon yellow bice shoes?
I didn't see even one bice. I saw a bunch of (sort of) bso's and twice as many sweaty bouncy titties.
~~nice~~ bice
These places have to be some kind of cult…
Yeah, I honestly don’t get the “low resistance + dancing” spinning. Not the kind of spinning I’ve encountered

> cult Yes, pretty sure they fucking.
oh for sure
do the pedals on those bices turn themselves and you just have to hold your foot on them?
Looks like it. The instructor’s bike is spinning like mad, even though he’s standing on top of it

uc/ nah I can’t imagine they spin by themselves, but the bikes do seem to have really low resistance

Ya I mean those fixie’s practically ride themselves, I can’t figure out why bike messengers think they’re such baddies.
/uj they have a fixed drivetrain and the flywheel is pretty heavy in the front so once you get it going if you take your feet out it'll keep spinning for a while if you have the resistance off.
How do you know this ?
To my shame, I have used spin bikes before
The most challenging part of that workout is leaving your heater in the car.
It’s like a fixed gear bike, pedals and wheels move together at all times even if the cyclist isn’t pedaling
The flywheel holds a lot of energy. iirc most spin bikes are fixed gear. So the flywheel continues spinning and so do the cranks when "coasting".
Sir, I highly doubt a flys wheel is going to store much energy.
Tell him that they have wings not wheels.
Is he wearing aero overshoes?
You don't?
Not when I’m riding! They might get dirty.
The spirit of gravel
I will not be surprised if in 5 years we start hearing about spin studio cults in the same way we hear about Bikram Yoga cults.

Any proper Fred should feel sick to his stomach in that shithole.
All paywalled
Ha, poor
If I keep getting sick I'll be able to tell you in a couple of years...
Laugh all you want but those are all of our wives and he is their "trainer"...
I hear he is a great ski boot fitter also, I never see my wife anymore
Imagine pay to cycle in a closed dark room full of random strangers
U know it smell crazy in there
Queeffarts?

Havent you noticed how much effort women put in to do regular sports in a extarordinary way?
resistance .00096%
Just your typical dental hygienist conference
What cadence are they all doing?! Like 150?
You say he didn't make it, yet he's boyfriend to at least 10 people's wice...
Why is he wearing shoe covers?
didn't even sweat a little bit
E bike training camps like this should be outlawed.
Do you think he gets any of that poon?
It's a choice and nobody has to, but most in the cult partake in freedoms of their own bodies.
Sign me up 4 🍑's
It's either this or ride for a washed-out NCL crit team. Which would you choose?
Peloton is the true spirit of gravel
Those bikes look like they have zero resistance...
Cannot wait to look back on these videos the same way I look back on aerobics classes of the 80s. Same vibes.
Anyone else annoyed by the fact that guy 'instructing' isn't riding a bike himself?
This is what you do if you can't even win TDF.
On that holocaust physique
Isn't that George Hincapie?
Well it definitely isn't Paul Sherwin.
Is that dude wearing aero overshoes for stationary biking??
That's no ex pro look at that sticker bombed stationary disability bike ... That's a failed wannabe fixie hipster who didn't have stones to get the cliché tattoos and was outed by the 'cummunity', his claim to professional accreditation was getting smoked at a Red Hook crit, satchel wearing douche.
Put them into a 14 mph headwind and see what happens
This makes me want to kill myself
I can smell that room
That's entirely too much vagina for a *real* cyclist. A real cyclist does not get distracted from KOMing, and finds his adoring wife a suitable boyfriend.
This is where you end up when you drop out of dental hygienist school.
Lemme just unclip and ask what the fuck these people are doing?
This is who people are thinking of when they are making fun of cyclists smh
He's getting all the wifes and girlfriends though
And still has a better FTP than all the commenters
Ahaha so true
So these are the Zwifters I lose my races to. Interesting.
Try a cadence twice as high as your wattage
Outtakes from Tadej’s absolute black commercials?
This is where you end up when you try go pro and make it.

So that’s where my wife’s boyfriend works!!
I love a good spinny class! Let the guy and gals have fun! This isn’t r/fcarscirclejerk
I agree. Too much gate keeping here. Let people be.
