Let’s face it, running on the treadmill for an hour just isn’t fun.
If you’re looking to change up your workout (and get really sweaty), you definitely need to hit up a spin class.
Have no fear, spinning is the perfect workout for beginners. After one class, you’ll feel like you’re peddling in the right direction.
Good music, motivated instructors, and a welcoming atmosphere is what you’ll find in a truly great spin class. Here are our picks for must-visit studios in Seattle.
