Mike covers the fundamentals every rider needs: positioning, posture, foot speed, and climbing technique, in an hour ride built to make you stronger whether you're brand new or years in.
"Spinning® Essentials". While designed to instruct new riders, this workout reminds every Spinner® the importance of solid fundamentals when riding. You'll get so much more out of a Spinning® workout if you know positioning, posture, foot speed, climbing technique, and more. Well that's what Trainer Mike covers in this hour ride. And, yes, it's gonna burn so good. New or experienced, this ride is for you!

Love Mike's classes! As a former outdoor bike rider I love the rides that echo outdoor ridiing. And always love the playlists! Thank you!

Every rider should take this class, beginners, advanced riders, and everyone in between! Mike’s instruction is great—clear, supportive, and fun to get us through intervals, climbs, and the last speed drill (it was killer!) The song by Timber Vella is my absolute favorite climbing tempo. Another brilliant class from the Master.

Drive to 25 #37 Mke, you're in great shape for any age. Age only matters for wine and cheese. Another great class and I've been riding for more than 30 years.

Great class, Mike. I always learn something and your playlists are awesome. Today it was remembering not to straighten out the leg on the downstroke while standing.

Hell Week #4. Always a great ride with Master Mike. Loved how this class breaks down the proper technique while getting in a great workout. Perfect for a beginner or anyone who wants to perfect their technique.
