It&#8217;s brand spanking new, and they host three classes a day on weekdays and two on the weekends at varying times. The instructors\u00a0are all pros\u00a0and I&#8217;ve tried three of the nine, loving each class once I am through it, but suffering pretty much all along the way; this ain&#8217;t easy folks. I think on the first two I had my seat in the wrong place, making the standing and riding portion of the class a little more difficult than needed. Lesson? Be sure to check with the instructor re seating for the first few classes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO8.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29277\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/fitness-fridays-putting-a-spin-on-it\/studio8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO8.jpg?fit=800%2C530&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,530\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;SJP&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"STUDIO8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO8.jpg?fit=788%2C522&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29277\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO8.jpg?resize=788%2C522\" alt=\"STUDIO8\" width=\"788\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO8.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO8.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The studio is very clean, offers showers and change areas separated by sex and these people are super friendly and helpful, so just ask. There is a special on right now for $100 for newbies 30 days; 5 rides are $85 and 90 days $310.<\/p>\n<p>When I was off to my first class a friend remarked that that was the last thing she&#8217;d like to do, saying &#8220;why would I want to be yelled at for an hour&#8221;. Well, she was quite wrong, as there&#8217;s no yelling, just enthusiastic encouragement and some pretty groovy tunes to keep you spinning.<\/p>\n<p>For the first two classes I was absolutely dying from start to end and spent a lot of time sitting, but somehow\u00a0by\u00a0the third I was able to keep up for the majority\u00a0of the class and although thoroughly drenched with sweat by the end, it didn&#8217;t start from the very first pedal. Apparently the magic number is ten classes, so I&#8217;ll let you know. What I do know is that I am definitely burning off calories and time does fly by, despite the effort that you exert, and suddenly you are done. I am truly looking forward to the next one.<\/p>\n<p>With spinning, you control everything from your speed and resistance to your intensity level, so it can be as easy or as challenging as you want it to be. Feel exasperated? Decrease the resistance, slow down, and sit back on the seat. Got some more energy? Faster and harder and \u00a0up off your seat!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s\u00a0what you need to know.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spinning is a cardio workout with music and classes are 50 minutes at Spin Society.<\/p>\n<p>Get there a bit early to claim your bike, get your shoes, store you stuff and get spinning to warm up.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s low-impact, so it\u2019s very suitable for people who want to balance out higher-impact exercises or for people who have some joint problems.<\/p>\n<p>You can go at your own pace. The instructors are guides\u00a0and let you know when to increase\u00a0resistance, pedal faster or slower or when to stand, hover, sit or combine these moves. YOU DECIDE how hard to work though and can pause if needed by slowing down, decreasing resistance, or sitting versus standing. You&#8217;ll find each class gets easier.<\/p>\n<p>YES! There will be some uncomfortable moments as your legs tire\u00a0when you are near the top of &#8220;a hill&#8221; i.e. at higher resistance, or when pedaling super fast, but keep\u00a0pedaling, and slow down when needed. Don&#8217;t stop the momentum!<\/p>\n<p>Wear workout clothes, nothing too baggy. Cycling shoes are provided and you clip into the pedals so you use all of your leg muscles, pushing down and pulling up. Padded cycle shorts could be useful, but not required and I&#8217;ve heard some use a gel seat; my bum did got a bit sore in the first few classes when I was sitting\u00a0more, but got better on the third when I was standing high and proud.<\/p>\n<p>BRING water&#8230;..I needed two bottles in one class as I was a bit dehydrated to start with. Try not to show up dehydrated as it does make class, and life, harder.<\/p>\n<p>Show up early and\u00a0\u00a0get the bike\u00a0set up properly. Work at your own pace and don&#8217;t stop spinning whatever you do! Now go forth and spin!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO6.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29276\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/fitness-fridays-putting-a-spin-on-it\/studio6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO6.jpg?fit=800%2C530&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,530\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;SJP&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"STUDIO6\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO6.jpg?fit=788%2C522&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-29276\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO6.jpg?resize=474%2C314\" alt=\"STUDIO6\" width=\"474\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO6.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/STUDIO6.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for another Fitness Friday, a little overdue, as though I haven&#8217;t missed a SINGLE DAY of exercise this year, I&#8217;ve been a bit of a procrastinator on the writing side of things.
