I've been to several spinning lessons, but i's clear that I haven't visitied every spinning room in the world, so there might be some rooms with low temperatures, air condition etc. I believe the cooling at a spinning lesson is much less than during regular road cycling mostly because of different wind conditions. High humidity and temperature are also important factors since both will make you sweat more. Thus, if you sweat a lot during a spinning lesson, please keep in mind that there may be other reasons than due to high intensity. Jesper @Matt

You think that every spin class has the same climate? You are a douche bag and obviously haven't been spinning your self.

Can I suggest you go to Spinning.com and use the search engine at the top left of the page to find an Official Spinning Centre in your area? Get there 10-15 minutes prior to the class starting and tell the instructor about your previous experiences.If you are unable to find an official spinning centre near to you,reply back here with a rough location of where you are and I will find a good place for you to go.

Even after she asked who was new. i tried asking a few things before, but i guess everyone was ready to start. I would really like to go back tomorrow, so are there any suggestions on how to make my ride painless??? thanks!! ivonne i went to my first spin class today and liked it. but im not sure i will go back. the seat hurt my “down there” . it was poking me the whole time. and now afterwards, im hurting. im worried that i may get some type of infection from all the poking, moving around and sweat for about and hour. the instructor did not introduce the bike or any of the parts to me. she did not explain ANYTHING to me.

This comes with time,when you get it,you can ride standing as comfortably (both on a standing flat & on a standing climb) as you can ride seated.It's also very important that your posture is good - body weight over the crank and a light but firm grip on the handles with shoulders and elbows softly relaxed. Glad you like Spinning,it's a cool ride. :-) Kathy,
