This is what motivated Belgian Master Instructor Peter Pastijn to get certified. “As an instructor, it’s all about sharing and helping people to get fit and reach their goals,” he says. “It’s such a privilege and such a pleasure to do this.” Pastijn also appreciates that Spinning is grounded in road cycling and applies this practical knowledge and exercise science to every element of the program.

Master Instructor Lucian Marcial-Vincion, of South Carolina agrees. “For me, the attraction to Spinning was its rootedness in science,” she says. Marcial-Vincion took her first Spinning class in the instructor training. “I was working for a facility that said, ‘We’re getting this thing called Spinning—go get certified!’ I had never even taken a class before!” she admits. Fortunately, the Spinning program is accessible to all individuals and Spinning Instructors come from a wide variety of backgrounds. She quickly learned the principles of the revolutionary indoor cycling program and began teaching.

In addition to lending their years of experience in the field and countless hours on the Spinner bike, Master Instructors provide hands-on experience and practical coaching. The training comprises both lecture and riding time. You’ll learn everything from the main hand positions and movements, to the benefits you’ll receive as a SPIN ® member. Additionally, you’ll meet other fitness professionals who share your interests and goals.
