I forgot to mention one of the most important Fringe Benefits to the class. I'm usually the only guy in class and the the Ladies are always very friendly. Have you noticed this too?
Sshhhh. don't tell my wife.......
Funny where I live (Netherlands) the class is 50-50 men-women in the morning and mostly men in the evening.
Spinning is considered by most women to be too intensive. Apparently the average Dutch woman fears bikes that come with clipless or toecage.
I did 3 lessons/week last winter and a marathon class of 4 lessons (45 mins each) with just 5 min breaks in between.. the only gripe I have is that horrible modern music.. I'm convinced there is other music out there with a smilar beat but more palatable, like South American or African!
I like the kind of classes best that give speed, rather than strenght as I'm working out my legs as well and prefer to gain speed by spinning as fast as I can.
