What is Spinning?
Created in the 1980s by personal trainer and ultra-endurance athlete Johnny G, Spinning is a unique indoor cycling workout. It brings the elements of athletic training to people of all fitness levels, but contrary to popular belief, Spinning is not just a "hard-core" fitness program for elite athletes. Instead, this high-energy group exercise integrates music, camaraderie and visualization in a complete mind/body exercise program. Individualized for participants of any age or ability, the Spinning program uses the specially designed Johnny G Spinner ® stationary bike, a simple set of movements and hand positions, and heart rate training to deliver personal empowerment and unparalleled fitness results. In fact, participants in a 40-minute cycling class burn an average of 500 calories.

"If it Ain't Johnny G, it Ain't Spinning!"
The proven depth and quality of the Spinning program distinguishes it from imitators. First, the Spinning program's components and philosophy are grounded in science and experience. Johnny G drew from his background and expertise as a professional road cyclist, martial arts black belt, personal trainer and coach to create an exercise program and bike that allowed him to train for road cycling and maintain mental strength and discipline at the same time. His unique mind/body philosophy, genuine love of sport and commitment to enhancing people's lives through fitness form the foundation of the Program: to find the champion within. Due to its roots in athletic training, the Spinning program is the only indoor cycling workout to offer a varied range of classes that are based on heart rate parameters, including Endurance, Interval, Strength, Recovery and Race Day. No other indoor cycling workout compares.

Next, Johnny G Certified Spinning Instructors undergo the most rigorous and comprehensive training regimen of any indoor cycling program. A highly trained and experienced staff of Master Instructors oversees the instructor certification program. They have been hand-picked and trained by a worldwide team of presenters who teach potential instructors how to be athletic and motivational coaches and manifest the all-important connection between mind and body. All instructors receive extensive safety training and have access to a comprehensive offering of continuing education workshops and home studies to keep them updated on the latest innovations and advances in both the Spinning program and the fitness industry.

Finally, Johnny G hand-built the first Spinner stationary cycle to deliver a ride that's very similar to cycling on the road. Since then, he has demanded the highest quality components and manufacturing processes. Superior to its imitators at every turn, the Johnny G Spinner bike features a patented design and chain-driven flywheel that deliver a smooth ride and a precise resistance knob that allows riders to effectively customize and control their intensity.
