Petition SPIN® CECs
In addition to Spinning® Continuing Education courses and workshops, you can petition up to 6 SPIN® CECs (Spinning continuing education credits) on courses not previously approved by Mad Dogg Athletics®. Acceptable examples include a course in Exercise Science, Biomechanics or Heart Rate Training. These credits count towards the 14 CECs required for renewal, every two years to keep your Spinning Instructor Certification valid.
What you need to know:
- The course must relate to your role as a Certified Spinning® Instructor.
- Other Indoor Cycling Certifications outside of Spinning® will not be accepted for Spinning® CEC’s.
- A qualified Educator, Health or Fitness professional must teach the course.
- Please petition each conference sessions separately.
- No refunds for unapproved courses.
- Petitioned courses must occur within your renewal period; courses before or after your renewal period are not accepted.
- Once submitted, please allow us 1-2 weeks to review your petition application.
- Once approved, you will see the credits reflected in your SpinU account.

To petition credits, please log into your SpinU account and access the Petition Applications page through the Online Courses section. From there, you can select the appropriate number of credits, and submit your payment.
