DID YOU KNOW? 🚴♀️
The real numbers behind your ride.
Calories burned per hour (average adult, varies by body weight & effort):
🚴 Spin Virtual Cycling: 600–800 cal
🏓 Recreational sports: 350–500 cal
🧘 Flexibility training: 200–300 cal
Indoor cycling is one of the most efficient calorie-burning workouts — ACSM classifies vigorous-intensity activity as anything above 6 METs, and a spin class typically runs well above that, which is why it burns significantly more than lower-intensity activities like flexibility training.
Why cycling works:
> Low-impact, high-reward — protects your joints while delivering a serious cardio hit
> Full lower-body engagement — quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, plus core
> Heart health — sustained aerobic effort improves cardiovascular endurance and lowers resting heart rate
> Mental reset — rhythmic movement + music helps reduce cortisol and boost mood
How often should you ride?
> Per ACSM guidelines, adults should get a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise 5 days a week, or 25 minutes of vigorous activity 3 days a week — and a spin class checks the vigorous-intensity box in just one session. “3–4 rides a week” is enough to meet national fitness guidelines and see real results.
Bottom line: Cycling is one of the most time-efficient, joint-friendly, science-backed ways to burn calories and build a stronger heart. At Spin Studio, you get all of that — at your own pace, in your own space.
