Spin Instructor Try-out tomorrow- any tips??

[Catrin]

First of all I want to congratulate you for doing the work to get certified, and wish you the best on your try-out tomorrow!

Personally I won't return to a spinning class where there are moves that I consider unsafe (like adding enough resistance to go 5 mph - just dangerous), or to do "exercises" on or off the bike. I've been to one class like this, never again. As an outdoor cyclist, I only attend spinning classes inside during the winter to help maintain bike fitness. I really want an indoor cycling class - tied to the music like Tulip mentioned The music helps to get into the zone.

Please don't stop the class to have people take their heart rates - indeed don't stop the class at all until it is over. Assuming you have fans in the room, turn them/keep them on. Don't ask the students what they want to do that day, you are the instructor. I am sure you would/wouldn't do all of that anyway I've been in several classes where all of this and more occurred, very chaotic.

Good luck and have fun!
