My preference of all is spin class. I love the challenge, the energy of the group setting, the quality of the workout. I have found it is very important to click with the instructor, some at my gym don't use cadence/gear which I prefer. I went to one 6:00am spin class where the instructor seemed bored and not energetic, definitely hard to want to follow at that time of morning! What I don't like about spin (at my gym at least) is you don't know what workout it will be. Sometimes it is hill focus, sometimes lots of sprints. If you like to pick your goal (important in race season for me) it is a little annoying. But the trainer is so hard for me to get pumped about, has to be connected to my bike, brought out, I have sweat all over the mat (airflow seems better at the gym), my dogs stare at me like I am stupid .
