SPINNING


SPINNING ® is fitness for everyone! SPINNING® is simple, fun, and easy to learn. The JOHNNY G. SPINNING PROGRAM is a group stationary cycling class performed on a specially designed stationary bike, the KEISER M3 INDOOR CYCLE.

Classes consist of riding a cross-terrain course on a ride set to music by the cycling instructor. During the class, students will ride in the flats, climb hills in a seated and standing position, and practice transitional riding movements both in and out of the saddle. There is a gradual emphasis on leg speed and strength as well as on cardiovascular conditioning for all fitness levels.

SPINNING® is on the cutting edge of a revolutionary change in how health and fitness are being viewed and taught in the United States and around the world. For the past twenty years, Johnny G. has been instrumental in developing concepts and training programs that have come to the forefront of his fitness revolution. He aims to “motivate a human being to find the champion within.” His motivational SPINNING® program coupled with the development of the KEISER M3 INDOOR CYCLE, has allowed thousands of people to experience not just the theory, but the reality of the mind-body connection that is at the core of the fitness revolution.

Our SPINNING® program ensures efficient and effective cardiovascular conditioning for all levels of riders. We do this by making extensive use of the MYZONE heart rate monitor tracking system to objectively assess fitness levels and training intensity. Additionally, our SPINNING® program is based on the SPINNING® Energy Zones format to ensure periodized and comprehensive training.

At Memorial Athletic Club, spinning may be used to train for different events by an unconditioned athlete to a well-season cyclist. Our program is not only a physical workout, but it also empowers its participants as well as motivating individuals to improve, maintain, and/or get in shape! There are many spinning exercises and hand positions and with the use of music, imagination, and a knowledgeable certified spinning instructor, your rise is sure to be an enjoyable fitness experience. A person can burn an average of 500 calories in a 45-minute session.

We have taken the SPINNING® program a step up by creating combination classes that vary in duration, moves, and exercises. Memorial Athletic Club offers combination classes such as spin+core, spin+functional, spin+movies, spin+pilates, and 90-minute spin challenges. Instructors lead classes, however, the participant can set their own level of intensity by adjusting the bike’s resistance. The SPINNING® program is a non-impact activity, so it is easy on the body and joints. Participants must be the age 13+ but, it does not matter the size or
fitness level of the individual. Anyone can do it!


All of our instructors are nationally certified through MADD Dog Athletics, Inc. and committed to ongoing training at both a local and national level. Our instructor teams will help you meet your fitness goals. If you are looking for a group exercise class that will challenge you to perform at your best fitness level, motivate you, and guide you on a path to wellness, please come ride in our SPINNING® program.
