6 SPINNING®

Spinning® is about empowerment, fun and achieving

results. It’s about the right kind of ride for you, whether

it’s a dance party in Ibiza or a climb through the Alps

in the Tour de France, a holiday-themed ride or a

candles-only meditative journey.

We invented group indoor cycling. Spinning is the

global leader in indoor cycling education, equipment,

classes, events and community.

Developed from real road cycling, Spinning combines

three basic hand positions and five core movements

that are simple, fun and easy to learn. Uniquely

tailored to suit a wide range of abilities and fitness

goals, the Spinning program and patented Spinner®

bikes deliver a personalized workout, incredible

calorie burn and personal challenge—all at a self-

directed pace.

We love outdoor cycling–the thrill and challenge,

the solitude and camaraderie, the power and magic

of riding on beautiful roads.

Back in 1991, we started our company with a single

question:

How can we bring that authentic cycling

experience indoors?

Spinning brings together deep cycling experience,

innovative and authentic indoor bike design,

challenging and exhilarating workouts, and know-

ledgeable, engaging instructors. Rest assured that

everything we create is rooted in indoor cycling’s

deepest heritage and expertise.

7SPINNING®

More facilities choose Spinner® bikes and Spinning®

education than any other indoor cycling program.

Why? Because our 22 years of experience, brand

recognition and reputation for superior bikes and

education make for enticing, exciting classes that keep

riders coming back again and again.

With expert coaching by a Certified Spinning Instructor

and energizing, cycling-inspired rides that combine

sound training principles, inspirational music and a

unique mind/body philosophy, the Spinning program

has helped millions of people get into the best shape

of their lives. Whether you’re new to the Spinning

program or have been riding for years, we provide

all the tools you need to achieve your health and

fitness goals.

For 22 years, the Spinning program and patented

line of Spinner bikes have defined the indoor cycling

category—training more than 200,000 instructors

at over 35,000 facilities and reaching millions of

enthusiasts in more than 80 countries worldwide.

With a distinct core philosophy, solid programming

and bikes designed to fit all shapes, sizes and abilities,

the Spinning program has always had the singular

goal of bringing health and fitness to every lifestyle.

BIKES

As the creators of the indoor cycling category, we are committed to offering authentic bikes that feel great and meet the high standards we set for the Spinning® program. A bike should work so well that you don’t have to think about it. It should seamlessly respond to the rider’s input, feel comfortable for the duration of a long workout, and stand up to the kind of punishment that gym and studio bikes take day in and day out.

CREATORS OF INDOOR CYCLING

We created the Spinner® bike in 1987 as a training

tool for road cycling. The bike was designed using the

same geometry as a real road bike, staying true to the

positioning and biomechanics of cycling. We added

a fixed-gear weighted flywheel to create the inertia

necessary to give the bike a feeling of movement and

to pull the rider’s legs through the entire pedal stroke.

We’re always improving. The careful engineering of

the best features of road bikes into Spinner bikes has

made it the most popular choice in fitness facilities

and homes around the world. With over 25 years

of experience building indoor cycling bikes, we are

always evolving and progressing both our design

philosophy and the world-class components we use

to build what are simply the best bikes on the market.

We know what it takes to exceed the expectations

of your members—and your maintenance department.

See Chapter 3: Commercial Bikes, Pedals

& Accessories and Chapter 6: Consumer Bikes

& Accessories for more information.

Seat and Head Tube Angles: Spinner® bikes have 72° seat and head tube angles, comparable to what you will find on most road bikes, and for good reason. There is scientific evidence that the angles on the Spinner bike improve both performance and comfort. Spinner bikes allow riders to produce the most power with the least amount of stress.

Saddle and Handlebar Post Adjustment: Both the saddle and handlebar posts easily adjust up and down to accommodate a wide range of heights and body types. Every rider that walks into your facility will be able to properly position the saddle in relation to the pedals for proper knee flexion and extension throughout the pedal stroke.

Q factor: Another element that is important for comfort and performance is the Q factor, which is the measured space between the pedals. Spinner bikes are made with a comfortable Q factor that is consistent with that of outdoor road bikes to help deliver better biomechanics through the hips, knees and ankles.

Materials: The Spinner bike is made of a material that will withstand the force of a rider up to 350 lb (163 kg) and still facilitate as close to maximal muscle recruitment as possible for both male and female participants.

Crank Arm Length: Spinner bikes feature crank arms of the standard 170 mm (6.7 in) length, and the adjustability of the bike enables riders of all heights to ride with optimal power. Research throughout the decades has indicated that, for the average-sized rider, optimal power can be achieved with the standard 170 mm crank arms.

Drivetrain and Flywheel: All Spinner bikes come equipped with a fixed gear. The authentic feel of the road is established via an externally weighted flywheel, which ranges from 31-50 lb (14-23 kg), depending on the model. The combination is a great training tool because the momentum assists the rider’s feet with moving smoothly through the pedal stroke and the two dead spots at the very top and bottom of the pedal stroke, improving pedaling technique and efficiency.

Pedal Systems: Spinner bikes come with a variety of pedal systems that allow riders to use athletic shoes or clip in with cycling-specific shoes. The ability to clip in replicates the feel of a road bike, reduces foot fatigue and enables full use of the pedal stroke, improving stability and efficiency.

The authentic feel of the road is established via an externally weighted flywheel, which ranges from 31-50 lb (14-23 kg), depending on the model. The combination is a great training tool because the momentum assists the rider’s feet with moving smoothly through the pedal stroke and the two dead spots at the very top and bottom of the pedal stroke, improving pedaling technique and efficiency.

Pedal Systems: Spinner bikes come with a variety of pedal systems that allow riders to use athletic shoes or clip in with cycling-specific shoes. The ability to clip in replicates the feel of a road bike, reduces foot fatigue and enables full use of the pedal stroke, improving stability and efficiency.

THE PERFECT SPINNING® STUDIO

We help Spinning® facilities be the best that they can be because we know that a well-designed room and environment help create a great Spinning experience and lead to a sustainable, successful Spinning program.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be expensive—

something as simple as changing the bike arrangement

and orientation while playing with the lighting to

create a particular mood, can transport your riders

to another world and keep the room fresh and exciting

for members.

Spinning studios around the world are as unique as

the places they’re in and the people that ride in them.

But there are some universal principles to creating the

perfect Spinning studio, wherever you may live.

ROOM DESIGN

Some of our facilities have the luxury of designing

their Spinning studio from scratch. Others have to work

with the rooms they’ve got. Whatever the size and

style of the room, we support all of our official Spinning

facilities with design principles we’ve accumulated

from over 20 years of indoor cycling experience.

What is the optimum number of bikes? How are the

bikes arranged? How should the bikes be oriented

and arranged. What is the best staging and control

center for the instructor? How can we ensure that every

bike position has adequate air flow and temperature

control? We can help you answer all these questions

and more in your quest to develop the perfect

Spinning studio.

FLEXIBILITY

Almost any new Spinning studio will excite people

today, but the great Spinning studios carry that

excitement into the future by building in flexibility

to adapt to fit almost any kind of event, including

fundraisers, themed classes, performance rides

with statistics on video monitors, instructor workshops.

29SPINNING® FACILITIES

AUDIO & VIDEO

One of the most common topics that comes up from

both instructors and riders alike concerns audio and

video. After 20+ years teaching Spinning® classes,

we know the exact makes and models of microphones,

speakers and audio set-ups that can stand up to the

rigors of multiple classes a day.

Providing flexible, high-quality video in your facility

gives your Instructors and riders the opporutnity

to create a variety of great Spinning experiences,

both in classes and as a room for members to use

outside of class time. Format and content options

include projection onto walls and/or screens, rider-

specific computer statistics, music videos, edited

ride or themed videos, video conferencing for global

events, approved member videos and more.

COMMUNITY BUILDING

The right kind of rooms encourage lingering and

gathering, giving members an opportunity to connect

with each other and with instructors, building the

Spinning community in your facility. Members benefit

from having access to the world’s best indoor cycling

experience, and you benefit from an engaged and

loyal community.

CUSTOMIZED STUDIO DESIGN CONSULTING

For those that need more help in designing the very

best studio for their needs, we also offer custom

consulting for creating your ultimate Spinning studio,

including build-out options, sizing and orientation,

temperature control and other key aspects of

studio design.

We race; we ride; we know bikes. As the creators

of the indoor cycling category, we are committed to

offering authentic bikes that feel great and meet the

high standards we set for the Spinning® program. A bike

should work so well that you don’t have to think about

it. It should seamlessly respond to the rider’s input, feel

comfortable for the duration of a long workout, and

stand up to the kind of punishment that gym and studio

bikes take day in and day out. We sweat over every

last detail on our Spinner® bikes, from how they move

to how they move you.

We invented the modern indoor cycling bike—and

we’re always improving. The innovative design of the

Spinner is revolutionary, integrating the geometry and

components of high-performance racing bikes into fully

adjustable, fixed gear stationary models. The careful

engineering of the best features of road bikes into

the Spinner bike has made it the most popular choice

in fitness facilities worldwide. With over 20 years of

experience building indoor cycling bikes, we are always

evolving and progressing both our design philosophy

and the world-class components we use to build what

are simply the best bikes on the market. We know what

it takes to exceed the expectations of your members—

and your maintenance department.

components of high-performance racing bikes into fully

adjustable, fixed gear stationary models. The careful

engineering of the best features of road bikes into

the Spinner bike has made it the most popular choice

in fitness facilities worldwide. With over 20 years of

experience building indoor cycling bikes, we are always

evolving and progressing both our design philosophy

and the world-class components we use to build what

are simply the best bikes on the market. We know what

it takes to exceed the expectations of your members—

and your maintenance department.

COMMERCIAL BIKES, PEDALS & ACCESSORIES

Seat & Head Tube Angles: Spinner bikes have 72° seat and head tube angles, comparable to what you will find on most road bikes, and for good reason. There is scientific evidence that the angles on the Spinner® bikes improve both performance and comfort. Spinner bikes allow riders to produce the most power with the least amount of stress.

Crank Arm Length: Spinner bikes feature crank arms of the standard 170 mm (6.7 in) length, and the adjustability of the bike enables riders of all heights to ride with optimal power. Research throughout the decades has indicated that, for the average-sized rider, optimal power can be achieved with the standard 170 mm crank arms. Bullet-proof Morse taper bottom bracket is the most durable in the industry.

Pedal Systems: Our commercial pedals are equipped with Morse Taper threadless connections to provide an industrial strength pedal connection that is not available on any other bike.

COMMERCIAL SERIES

Designed for the commercial facility and studio

environment, these bikes are built to withstand the

rigors of class after class, all day long. The original,

best and most popular indoor cycling bikes on the

planet, these bikes are for commercial facilites or a rider

that wants the same premium, heavy duty bike at home.

Features that you will find on many of our Commercial

Series bikes include:

37COMMERCIAL BIKES

Saddle and Handlebar Post Adjustment: The saddle and handlebars can be adjusted both up and down and fore-aft easily. Every rider that walks into your facility will be able to properly position the saddle in relation to the pedals for proper knee flexion and extension throughout the pedal stroke.

Q Factor: Another element that is important for comfort and performance is the Q factor, which is the measured space between the pedals. Spinner bikes feature industry- leading Q factor dimensions that are consistent with that of outdoor road bikes to help deliver better biomechanics through the hips, knees and ankles.

Drivetrain and Flywheel: Most Spinner bikes come equipped with a chain-driven fixed gear. The authentic feel of the road is established via a perimeter weighted flywheel, which ranges from 41-50 lb (18.6-22.7 kg), depending on the model. The combination is a great training tool because the momentum of the flywheel smooths out the pedal stroke to eliminate the “dead spots” at the top and bottom of the pedal stroke. In this way the rider improves their technique and pedaling efficiency.

Materials: The Spinner® bikes are designed and fabricated with materials that will withstand the force of a rider up to 350 lb (163 kg) and still facilitate as close to maximal muscle recruitment as possible for both male and female participants.

54 SPINNING®

What is your design philosophy?I love bikes, I’ve loved bikes my whole life, and I’ve designed bikes throughout my entire career, working on everything from components to complete bikes. A Spinner bike is quite a bit different in that it presents the challenge of designing a functional, dynamic bike that stays in one place. For example, the Spinner Blade and Blade ION™ were inspired by time trial riders—I love how you can look at a static photo of a great time trial rider and they look like they’re going fast. That’s just one of the images I use for inspiration. Function, reliability and durability are our primary design drivers and we temper all of those things into an easily useable, dynamic form. Our goal for our riders is to design a Spinner that fits so right and feels so good during a class that the bike goes away and it becomes all about your experience.

We touch every single inch of the bike, from the handlebars to the adjustable feet so that the experience is great for both the rider and the gym owner. I like to tell people that our commercial bikes are like rental cars. We have to design products that can take the abuse of being ridden 24/7/365 and still deliver a fantastic feel for the rider. For example, if you really look closely at our Spinner Blade you

JOHN COOK

“ Spinning® is like surfing—a good Spinner® bike or a favorite board is a fantastic vehicle but it’s that Zen-like feeling of a glassy wave or a great ride that keeps you coming back for more.”

55COMMERCIAL BIKES

will notice that we have taken great care to define our shapes so that every surface that faces the rider is soft and inviting even though there are some very definitive lines on the bike. We want the overall feel to be dynamic but still friendly and approachable. What inspires you?I like making things that make people feel better. Spinning® helps people improve their fitness, which is really important, but it also changes their lives. I’m so inspired by the riders, their journeys, even what they go through to get to a six am Spinning class—the bike is just one part of the experience and our instructors and riders bring their best every day. We have to make sure that our products empower our community. It matters.

One of the things that was really cool for me was to meet some of the people on The Biggest Loser who had expressly come up to me and said “I always knew that no matter what if I could just get on that Spinner® bike it would be okay,” and it was something they used every day. I like that we can make a product that makes so many people feel great and improves their lives.

What’s unique about Spinning®?I’ve designed a lot of products for a lot of different brands but truly Spinner bikes are the best products you can design because they work in conjunction with fantastic programming. We not only make a great bike to ride, but we teach you how to ride it, and we teach others how to teach you how to ride it. We teach safe, enjoyable ways to ride it. It’s pretty rare in design to be able to work in such a comprehensive space where our products support education and education supports our products, a combination that allows us to create a unique and authentic experience.

We are always looking to make our bikes better—the design switch is always on. We are constantly getting detailed input from an experienced team of Master instructors, Spinning instructors, studio owners, and riders as well as our partners and “in-house” groups and enthusiasts.

It’s really satisfying to work on a product that helps support such an incredible experience. We are all tied to that great Spinning experience. Some of our riders even get “Spinman” tattoos. That’s an honor and a privilege, and it’s something that drives me every day.

The second edition of this popular course allows

instructors to earn all the SPIN CECs needed for

certification renewal in a comprehensive course

that covers essential Spinning program topics. Also

BREATHING TECHNIQUES

Instructors learn how to channel one of the most

important functions of their body into creating more

efficiency in a workout! Use the concepts in this class

to teach your clients proper breathing techniques

to enhance performance and reduce exercise

stress. Learn about the anatomy of breathing. The

different techniques athletes can use (such as open

diaphragms, chest and back breathing) as well

as exercises that can be used to strengthen the

diaphragm. The course also includes yoga breathing

techniques for added efficiency.

CADENCE, HEART RATE AND CLASS DESIGN

Bring some flair to classes with the cadence drills and

creativity. The Spinning Computer (sold separately)

enables the instructor to continuously monitor riders

pedaling speeds, or cadence, on the Spinner bike.

When the relationship between cadence, resistance

and heart rate are understood, classes take on a new

dimension. This course, co-developed by cycling

expert Joe Friel will teach how to maximize the

efficiency of cadence and the pedal stroke. Learn how

to incorporate cadence drills and heart rate games to

engage students as they train like cyclists out on the

road. This course is recommended for instructors using

the Spinning Computer, but the principles and methods

can be used even without a cadence monitor. Includes

aDVDthatdemonstratesuseofthecomputerand

various drills.

MENTAL TRAINING

We’ve all heard about the mind/body connection,

but how is it actually applied correctly to exercise?

Create and maintain a bond, as the Spinning program

emphasizes the connection between the mind and

the body in reaching fitness aptitude. This course will

teach ways to reach peak performance, how to use

a single-minded focus and what parasympathetic

stimulation can do for an exercise regimen and

performance day.

PERIODIZATION FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

Attract more participants to Spinning class by

integrating the concept of periodization or dividing

the calendar year into periods characterized by

different forms of training. This course explains how

to correctly partition the year and includes applicable

factors such as goal setting, Spinning Energy Zones™,

anaerobic training, monitoring heart rate and training

time. Review sample annual periodization schedules

for both new and experienced clients, as well as

competitive athletes.

aerobic exercise, aerobic heart rate training, how it

applies to the Spinning Energy Zones program and the

importance of a proper warm-up and cool-down.

INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:

FATIMA BATOOKSpinning® Instructor

What does Spinning® mean to you?

Spinning® is very dear to me because it means much

more than a “500 calorie burn” class. Being Saudi and

living in Saudi Arabia where women can’t drive, we

can go ride! It is liberation, empowerment and freedom

to me and to many other women. It has helped me

convey my message to women attending my classes

about the true essence of being and how we can

overcome all the constraints we are faced with, no

matter what!

What makes Spinning® special?

Spinning is special because it is true to it’s foundation

of the mind/body connection. It is a powerful

connection through which emotional, mental, social,

spiritual and behavioral factors can be changed

drastically in just one moment. What really is special

about it is that you can be in a mental state of

meditation while in motion.

What do people need to know about Spinning®?

Spinning holds a mirror up to life: whatever we face,

however hard it is, there is a way to overcome it like

every hill you climb and every sprint you conquer.

You become more aware of your thoughts, feelings

and behaviors, plus it’s a great and healthy way to

cope with the stress and problems that are a normal

part of life. It makes you feel good about yourself and

have healthy relationships with a loving, supportive

Spinning community around you.

MASTER INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:

LUCIANA MARCIAL-VINCION, M.A.

Co-owner of Charleston RIDE™ and Team Manager

for the global Spinning® Master Instructor Team

How did you start in indoor cycling?

By force! It’s actually a funny story. I was the Athletic Director at a facility

that was getting the Spinning® program. My GM sent me and my personal

trainers to a Spinning Instructor Training so we could get ready to launch

the program, so I had to attend. My first time on a bike was at the training—

and as an aerobics junkie I really did not enjoy it… I was skeptical about

the shelf life of the “group fitness cycling class” phenomenon. I mean,

seriously, how long could this program last? It’s just riding a bike after all!

Why Spinning®?

The science behind the program is what kept me motivated to continue

my education beyond the initial training. As an exercise physiologist, I

appreciated the strong cycling roots and the foundation in physiology and

biomechanics. I started to understand the remarkable paradigm shift that

the Spinning program was creating in the industry—offering true science-

based group training to everyone in a format that was easy to understand.

No one else had ever done this before, yet the simple art of riding a bike—

an activity familiar to most people—was starting to transform the world!

77SPINNING® PROGRAMMING

Why did you decide to become a Spinning®

Instructor?

17 years ago, I got on board the Spinning train. And

here i am working as an International Spinning® Master

Instructor for the last 14 years, full time for Spinning as

the Master Instructor Team Manager. And I co-own my

own exclusive Spinning studio called Charleston RIDE™.

The mind/body philosophy permeates every aspect

of the program; this in turn creates very emotional and

spiritual experiences for many riders that help fuel

their commitment to transforming their lives. When

you bring people together this way, a very dedicated,

passionate community is built. It is this community that

I thrive on—spending time and training hours with like-

minded individuals that believe what you believe is just

magical, uplifting and powerful.

What do people need to know about Spinning®?

People need to know that here, their story is important.

Everyone has a story to tell and the Spinning

community provides a platform for everyone to share

it—this is the human element that is so powerful in the

Spinning program. Everyone matters, and everyone’s

journey is important and unique. The bike, the Spinning

room, the Spinning community, they all create a

sanctuary, a safe and nurturing yet challenging arena

where everyone can be real, where they can be

themselves, where they can move and breathe and

feel with no judgment.

What does Spinning® mean to you?

My anchor words: Truth. Integrity. Science. Skills.

Dreams. Excellence. Magic. Vision. Transformation.

Authenticity. Accountability. Freedom.

How is Spinning® different from other

indoor cycling programs?

There are many things that set us apart, including

the fact that we created the indoor cycling category.

But it is the ever-evolving continuing education

program delivered by experts in the field that really

raises the bar. Our continuing education is designed

to provide instructors with a comprehensive study

of all aspects of being an indoor cycling coach,

whether through our live trainings, online courses,

home studies, DVDs, podcasts or special events

and conferences. We provide a constant stream of

information ranging from class design, music selection

and physiology to training with power, biomechanics

and coaching skills, just to mention a few, all offered by

an incredibly talented global Master Instructor team.

While each member is distinguished and impressive

with their own array of talents and expertise, there is

one most noteworthy attribute manifested in all,

and that is their unyielding and relentless discipline

in working as a unified team to change the world,

one ride at a time. It is simply a bonus that among

the team we have Ph.D.s, Ironman athletes, business

owners, elite cyclists holding national and international

titles, university professors, world class triathletes,

exercise physiologists, sports therapists, nutritionists,

marathon runners, attorneys, yoga professionals,

personal trainers and group fitness instructors, and the

list goes on. It is simply an amazing group of industry

experts whose aim is to be of service to all and to

deliver excellence beyond measure.

MASTER INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:

LUCIANA MARCIAL-VINCION, M.A.

Co-owner of Charleston RIDE™ and Team Manager

for the global Spinning® Master Instructor Team

How did you start in indoor cycling?

By force! It’s actually a funny story. I was the Athletic Director at a facility

that was getting the Spinning® program. My GM sent me and my personal

trainers to a Spinning Instructor Training so we could get ready to launch

the program, so I had to attend. My first time on a bike was at the training—

and as an aerobics junkie I really did not enjoy it… I was skeptical about

the shelf life of the “group fitness cycling class” phenomenon. I mean,

seriously, how long could this program last? It’s just riding a bike after all!

Why Spinning®?

The science behind the program is what kept me motivated to continue

my education beyond the initial training. As an exercise physiologist, I

appreciated the strong cycling roots and the foundation in physiology and

biomechanics. I started to understand the remarkable paradigm shift that

the Spinning program was creating in the industry—offering true science-

based group training to everyone in a format that was easy to understand.

JENIFER WALSH

JOB TITLE: CERTIFIED SPINNING® INSTRUCTOR

CURRENT HOME: Cheshire, CT

Jenifer Walsh used to belong to a small women’s gym that had cardio equipment, weight machines and free weights. They decided to bring the Spinning program into the gym about a month after she joined. Prior to being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Jen used to love long distance road biking, but the disease slowly took her balance away, and eventually she couldn’t ride on the road any more. The Spinning instructor at the gym encouraged her to try a class. She told Jen to go at her own pace and see how she liked it. The rest is history! She fell in love with the bike again, slowly working up her endurance enough to make it through an entire class! The passion she felt coming to classes every day was apparent to everyone. Her instructor suggested that she go out and become certified, saying that Jen’s actions would inspire others to try. She got certified in 2008, and doesn’t plan on stopping!

How did you first hear about Spinning®?

I first heard about Spinning after I joined a new gym

in my town. I had no idea what it was all about and

decided to try it because I used to road bike all the

time before I got diagnosed with MS.

What do people need to know about Spinning®?

Some people get intimidated by the Spinning program

because they think they won’t be able to keep up.

Actually, the best part of the Spinning program is that

you can go at your own pace. Spinning is for everyone!

What does Spinning® mean to you?

Spinning means so much to me, but there isn’t enough

room in this magazine! Spinning is my world! It’s

inspiring, passion, motivating, emotional, powerful and

exciting. It’s all around fitness at it’s best!

MASTER INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:

SARAH MORELLIEuropean Education and Development Manager

at Star Trac® and Senior International Master

Instructor and Power Specialist Master Instructor

for the Spinning® Program

How did you first hear of Spinning®?

I was lucky enough to watch Johnny G. riding at

tradeshows in Germany and again in Italy and the

UK in the early 90s when Spinning was launched into

Europe for the first time. I remember listening to his

mind/body message and thinking that this is something

special. He even took his time to chat with me and

explain what it was all about.

How did you come to work for Spinning®?

I was selected as Master Instructor for the Spinning

Program in 1999 and attended a week’s training

camp in Verbier, Switzerland. And I was EU Education

Coordinator during the early days too. I am now lucky

enough to work doing something I love and am now

Global Education Manager for Star Trac Fitness

working as Education Representative for Spinning

in the UK and Ireland.

What does Spinning® mean to you?

Spinning to me means community, and a healthy

approach to life. It represents improvement, challenge

and self-awareness that nothing else can truly match.

To share this with other like-minded people is a unique

joy within the fitness industry.

What do people need to know about Spinning®?

Everyone who has not experienced a Spinning class

needs to know that the true and best delivery of the

program is not about how hard you can push yourself,

but how you are given absolute permission to ride

at your own level and learn where your limits and

challenges lie, and then being motivated to achieve

and surpass your goals. When you work within your

limits, you can always achieve and will always want

to return and have fun!

What first brought you to Spinning®?

I first got into Spinning® because it’s all about riding

a bike. What I love about Spinning is that it has its

roots in real sport—that performance aspect totally

attracted me to the program. I love that it provides an

opportunity to be able to push your limits in a safe

environment. When you’re riding outdoors you have

to pay attention to so many things—the road, your

surroundings, potential dangers—whereas in Spinning

you can just close your eyes, go full gas and really

focus on how you mentally operate under a lot of

challenge. It lets you focus on the stuff that really

matters. Anybody can relate to that, whether you’re

a seasoned cyclist or someone who doesn’t ride

an outdoor bike at all.

What makes Spinning® different from other

indoor cycling programs and other fitness

programs in general?

What’s so cool about Spinning is that it goes beyond

the four walls of the studio—it’s so much more than

just a fitness program, and has so much more depth.

It’s performance-based, but it’s the mind/body element

that makes it so special. Spinning isn’t just about the

movements, it’s about the emotions or the feelings

you experience when doing movements. In no other

program can you be a fighter pilot in one class, ride

in the Tour de France in the next, then go for a cruise

along the beach. The Spinning program allows you to

go anywhere your mind can take you—it allows you

to go places and do things that other fitness programs

and even riding outdoors can’t allow you to do.

Spinning almost allows you to be a kid again, it gives

you the chance to be Superman/woman, to come out

of your shell. That’s what draws people to it. People

don’t remember an interval or a movement, they

remember the experience and how it made them feel.

Spinning allows everyone to find their champion within,

and that’s what makes it so rewarding.

How has your experience as a professional

cyclist influenced your role at Spinning®?

As a professional cyclist I used Spinning day in and

day out. It was so motivational—there were many times

when I was in the middle of a bike race and I would

use my Spinning experiences to get myself through

a challenge. I’ve since been able to use all of that

experience to really influence the development

of the Spinning® program over the years. We’ve

used my experience to really dial in the comfort and

performance of the bikes. And now we have power,

an accurate measurement of work performed, and a

program to go with that, it’s just awesome. Spinning

continues to progress and grow—we’re not trendy,

we’re based in true science and we continue to evolve

with the outdoor cycling world. That connection to

our roots makes us so much stronger. Spinning is able

to progress through the evolution of our bikes, the

evolution of our education and the evolution of our

MI team, keeping things fresh while always staying

true to our roots.

It’s been so neat to work with a company that

actually listens to an athlete and takes that input to

make changes for the better. Being so involved in

the evolution of the bikes and working with a team

that’s so open to my suggestions has been a really

rewarding part of my relationship with Spinning. All

the stuff that a cyclist would want on a bike they’ve

listened to and thought about how it’s going to work

for the general population to make their ride more

comfortable, powerful and efficient so that they get

the most out of their time. The more we can bring that

pro bike racing heritage in there, the more everyday

riders can become more efficient and use their time

in the best way possible.

What’s your favorite thing about being a

Master Instructor?

My favorite thing about being a Master Instructor is the

ability to help anyone safely reach their fitness goals,

whether that’s losing a couple of pounds or getting to

the finish line first. It’s a huge opportunity, to be able

to take Spinning to the highest levels and really push

the limits of what an instructor can do in a class. That’s

the thing about Spinning—there really are no limits.

I’ve been doing this for nearly 20 years as a Master

Instructor and I’m still not bored. Spinning has such a

rich heritage and we’re still just scratching the surface

of what this program will end up being. Spinning is

really an art, it’s the art of fitness. Personally, I’ve met

some of the most special people in my life through

Spinning, from a lot of my best friends to my wife.

TECHNICAL GEAR

Each Spinning® garment is meticulously designed and crafted to fit riders during rigorous activity, enabling them to get the most out of every training session.

Our technical gear features compression fabric that is designed to support

the muscles during warm-up, exertion and cool-down, for greater efficiency

and recovery. This moisture-wicking fabric is designed to move with the

rider, to effectively transfer moisture away from the skin to the surface of

the fabric for quick evaporation, resulting in a more comfortable workout.

Along with the highest-quality fabrics, our Spinning shorts feature a

high-quality chamois developed with Elastic Interface® Technology and

our gender-specific options are carefully designed to meet the specific

needs of men and women. Backed by science, our chamois is the most

recognized in the cycling community. Stitch-free, all-way stretch fabric

eliminates chafing and friction while providing freedom of movement,

and single-density foam provides optimal protection with a minimal look

and feel. In addition, the bacteriostatic treatment acts by inhibiting the

growth of bacteria. The careful crafting and testing of these garments

ensures that they will conform to the shape of the rider’s body and

eliminate friction for maximum comfort and performance.

SHOES

MOUNTAIN SHOES (SPD®-COMPATIBLE)

There are several shoe options for riding Spinner®

bikes. The bikes are equipped with pedals that have

cages on one side and a clipless option on the other.

If riding in the cages, stiff-soled, athletic shoes work

best. Laces should be tucked in or double knotted

and the ball of the foot must rest directly over the

center of the pedal with the toe strap pulled snug.

Soft-soled shoes designed for walking or running

are less effective, as they collapse over the pedal,

reducing efficiency and potentially leading to foot

numbness and/or bruising.

If clipping in, the ideal choice is to wear cycling shoes

with recessed cleats called Shimano Pedal Design

(SPD®). Cycling shoes have very stiff soles, breathable

fabric to circulate air to the feet and usually feature

Velcro instead of laces for control and safety.

The recessed cleats allow for easy walking when

off the bike.

There are other types of cleats, which are often

preferred by road cyclists, such as the LOOK® Delta

cleats, but they tend to protrude from the shoes,

making it difficult to walk on gym floors. Pedals with

this option are also available for Spinner bikes,

but are less common.

113APPAREL & ACCESSORIES

More Power: The stiff sole

of a cycling shoe allows

more of the power generated

by the leg during the pedal

stroke to transfer to the bike.

Breathability: Cycling shoes

feature mesh or another

breathable fabric that

circulates air to your feet.

More Effecient Pedal Stroke:

Velcro straps hold your feet

securely in place, which aids

the upward movement of

your pedal stroke and lends

stability by reducing foot

movement.

The right shoe can make a good Spinning® class great. Cycling shoes are

available in a variety of styles and price ranges, so whatever your needs,

there’s a shoe that fits. The benefits of cycling shoes include:

Muscle Balance: Cycling

shoes allow you to clip into

the bike pedals, which helps

engage more leg muscles

for balanced toning and

strengthening.

What does Spinning® mean to you?

Spinning® means empowerment, achievement,

inclusion and independence all in one. Spinning

inspires me to challenge myself in a way that works

for me and rewards me. It allows me to be part of a

community that knows exactly what I’m talking about.

What do people need to know about

Spinner® bikes?

A Spinner® bike is a type of indoor cycle but no other

indoor cycle is a Spinner bike. We have an integrated

approach in all we do, from products to programming to

education. In designing our bikes, every single function,

component and detail is analyzed for its impact and

integration with every other function, component

and detail. And we validate all of this through science

and maintaining an authentic cycling feel.

What’s different about Spinning®?

Simply put, we’re the best at what we do. We don’t

brag about it or manufacture hype…we just let our

products, programs, and actions do the talking. When

you ride a Spinner bike, when you take a Spinning

class, when you call anybody in our company with

a question or comment, you just know. How Spinning

makes you feel or working with us…you just know.

And none of this happened by mistake.

… to all of our instructors, Master Instructors, and

studios who have embraced Spinning and who give

students and members the very best class experiences

in the world. You’ve taken your students into your

hearts, not just your classes. Thank you for the care

and inspiration you give them day in and day out.

And I want to take this moment to thank all of our

employees. For your passion, talents and your

dedication. I’m very proud to have you all on our team,

to see what you’ve created and built, and the care that

you bring to our company, team, instructors

and customers.

The road. It’s where our company started. And it’s

where we always end up, even if it’s indoors or in our

hearts. We created Spinning to empower people, and

that will always drive us. We have as much passion

and hope and excitement as we did when we drew up

the blueprint for that very first bike in 1991. Since that

day, we’ve been moving (and pedaling) forward, and

we hope you’ll continue on this road with us. It’s been

an honor to put this book together to share our roots

and our vision with you. Please watch for much more

from us in the years, and decades, to come.

EPILOGUE:

THE ROAD AHEAD

As this 2014 / 2015 Spinning® book comes to a close, we wanted to let you know that we’re just getting started. And we want to begin by saying thank you...
