Why Spinning®? The Spinning program is for everyone, any age, at every level of fitness. Whether you are a beginner or skilled athlete, both start at the same place and successfully complete a 40-minute class together. The Spinning program helps you to experience the mind/body connection that is the core of this fitness revolution. This exciting athletic training program utilizes motivation, sports psychology and the most thoroughly tested cycling techniques available. The Spinning Program was developed by Johnny G from two decades of experience as a world-class cyclist, trainer and coach, and reflects the knowledge gained through ten years of feedback from Spinning program participants and trainers worldwide. The goal is to provide you with the most comprehensive indoor cycling program you will find. Schwinn has integrated every aspect of your body's relationship to a high-performance racing bicycle into the fully adjustable, stationary bicycle. A customized fit, sleek racing bike geometry, fixed gear drive and true cycling componentry that deliver one of the smoothest, most comprehensive workouts you can get. All you need to do now is step onto the Spinner™, put your hands on the handlebars, sit in the saddle, and begin your first pedal stroke to start your Spinning journey.
