This was a special date organized as a part of the International Woman’s Day celebration. We had a long itinerary of actives and a morning workout was a part of it. I’ve only tried a spin class once at another gym and wasn’t sure what to expect from the Spin Society workout.

We had a morning class on Sunday and arrived in advance. Unlike Equinox, where I tried spinning for the first time, you have to wear the clip in shoes. This was was kinda fun and awkward at the same time. I know all of the experienced spin lovers might be rolling their eyes right now, but honestly, if you learned to ride a bicycle on a narrow gravel path in your grandma’s back yard in Russia, you would understand. In any case, we were both excited and loved the gym. It has a  modern aesthetic and it smells good (always a plus for a gym where people workout).

The class was taught in a dark room with loud beats. It kind of felt like dancing in a night club (minus the creepy guys leering), except your bottom really hurts afterwards from hitting the tiny bike seat for an hour. We loved the atmosphere and the instructor was great. I also think we both appreciated the darkness since nobody could see us fail miserably throughout the class.

All in all, I would probably do spin again, because its a great cardio workout, but in all honesty this would probably be our last sweaty date at a spin club.
