Just wondering what everyone's opinions are on them? I added going to them twice a week or so to my regular workouts as I didn't feel I was doing enough cardio. Are these a good form of said exercise, any negative side effects and such?
Cheers everyone

Honestly, I've never met a guy who's been to a spin class.
I know a girl who went to one, ended up fainting & in hospital. I can't remember the specific details, but something happened to her muscles in her thighs and they were pretty much eroding away. She ended up being fine a few weeks later though.
So anyway, have fun

good for lactic acid workout, it has some good benefits but it depends on your goals.

Like Darce said, depends on your goals.
If you just want to fit into that dress you've been eyeing at Forever 21, then you should go for it
Kidding aside, if you want to improve your cardio I would recommend doing interval running. Here is a breakdown of the main types of interval training... fartleks, tempo, and pure interval.

I'm liking the spin simply because its focused, and I have to do it, no slacking lol. Also the instructor generally bullies me which is good too.
And that dress is my ticket to trophy wife/boying.

the tiara got stolen back from me
I only had it long enough to take my princessy black and white photo and then the bride was all like its my day or some nonsense, I stopped listening, I had no tiara so my will to live vanished.

lol! Also always carry a club with you and disregard what anyone else lifts, because they don't even lift.

Don't listen to any naysayers. Spin classes are awesome.
There are no identifiable resistences on the bikes, it's all what you can handle personally. They'll tell you to crank the nob to 7 out of 10. 10 being the toughest resistence or hardest you can go at the time. It's all self oriented and you get what you put in.
It's safe, it's fun, but don't cheat yourself. Push yourself.

wtf, Spin Class is worse than Burpees! but nothing is as bad as Crossfit, because Crossfit is racist.

I've been enjoying them, I do 2-3 a week, generally after a workout, as working out after just kinda sucks. A few cross fit dudes go to the same gym as me, I tried something called the Bear Complex..that was brutal
