Description
The sport of Indoor Cycling, or Spinning as it is now more frequently referred to, is a high-intensity organized cycling regime, structured to focus primarily in endurance, strength and interval training. The sport began in the early 1980’s with the desire to enjoy the zeal of cycling despite poor weather conditions. After Johnny Goldberg, endurance cyclist and marathon athlete managed to successfully replicate the sport from his garage, he decided to take it public. Goldberg later opened his first indoor cycling center in the Santa Fe region of Los Angeles, California. The aim was to provide fitness enthusiasts and those seeking healthy weight loss routines with choreographed group cycling workout sessions. By the mid 1990’s, Goldberg and his business partner not only created bikes specifically built for spinning but had then placed in gyms and fitness studios all over the state.
