I also am a Spinning instructor. I think three classes for most people is maximum. A great adjunct to cycling is running and/or fast walking. Spinning uses your quads heavily. Running/walking will use your hamstrings.
My concern for you is that by the time you acknowledge a problem arising, e.g., knee or hip issues, it may already be a chronic imbalance. Notice I said "acknowledge" because often we think these little aches will go away with time. Sometimes they do but sometimes they become bigger issues that plague us.

I try to change it up a bit so I do spin class 2x a week and pilates 2x a week and I commute to work (3 miles) 3x a week. I love spin class as well but since I am new to spin and cycling I don't want to over-do it and feel the need to stretch (pilates).
