Spinning instructor

Hello lads

I signed up for a spinning instructor course. Combining stuff that I like the best - cycling and music, and then get paid a bit on top. What's not to like? Thats what I thought at least.

Anyways, do any of you guys have any experience? Do you like it? I went to spinning classes many years ago once a week for a few seasons, but it bored me a bit in the end - music was *** and didn't like the programmes too much. Way too much focus on super short intervals. I can change that though.

Classes start this weekend. Fire away!
 
First, as the class leader you need to know and understand the goals and abilities of the participants.
Some people do spin-class just as exercise, without any actual outdoor cycling. It can also be a social activity with lots of talking during the easy portions of the session.
It's important to have the sessions motivate the participants to 'come back again'.
