Another intense workout. I wish I had known about GCN sooner! Thanks!
Really nice workout, with lots of variation. I would only recommend permanently keeping in the time circle with RPM and pedals going at that real tempo, for the people that have simple bikes.
Thanks for the great workout!
Thanks for a good climb
Merci pour ce fabuleux cour.
Maroc
The best investment this year (yet), get myself a cheap bike and participate in all the GCN spinning class. Love you guys!
Awesome workout! Thanks so much for showing where to place hands on handlebars!
Call me when you’re ready for a Super High Intensity Interval Training session.
You changed the music 😢
Absolutely outstanding class. Hard but fun. The music went perfect with the high energy you brought to the session! Thank you😄
I did this twice today! 1 hour working really hard and it was amazing! Loving it so far! Thanks team!
Without a doubt the most brutal GCN video I’ve done. Thought it would be pretty easy after the 1hr reverse pyramids, but this went next level at the 20 minute mark! Savage.
I’m dead. Thanks ✌️
What happened to the video with the real slow peddle part in the middle ?
Why are they so close together?
You are my favorite instructor thank you for this workout..
Confusing and difficult to follow. Don't move your body side to side but leader and many of class do just that. Follow the beat but the beat doesn't relate to the RPM shown on screen. 100RPM warm and wind down seems very fast as most presenters use around 80 or 90.
Seems like social distancing to me..😄
Sir you are really great thank you thanks
I’m in my moms ipad and I did this set and burnt 510 calories at 13 y/o
My first and my favourite!
I found this today! Thank you from Norway 🇳🇴👏🏻💪
Excellent!
I love the 35-40 minute sessions! Please make more!
Wow this is hard but I did it
Well Made video! Really enjoyed this one.
I can't believe so many are using shoe clamps!?
Execellent workout as always, a great start to the day.
Always a fave🎉
This just popped up and I use to watch this '9 years ago!'
Where did nine years go……
AWESOME!
This was so intense — especially considering the short time! Thanks for the great work out!!
💪🦵
A+
Great F……Workout🚴🏽💪🏻
I wonder how many calories you burn doing this one 🚀
Super bueno. Muchas gracias
I keep coming back to this workout again and again and again. Perfect length for a quick but solid workout, excellent music, fantastic commentary. I have a few other sessions on my regular rotation, but this is my number 1 go to spin session.
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
I would love to see any science behind this workout. It is basically 25 minutes of hard cycling with intermittent standing. Level 5 is a warmup? Level 6 is recovery? Come on! Just because people are exhausted and feel like they worked hard at the end, that doesn’t make it a valuable workout. It is just a way of getting overtrained and injured. Silly from a group that are cyclists
Brutal
Paul is my favorite instructor! I love his stuff!
Since Covid started I do this workout at home. I think it is the only activity that mantains me healty. Thanks for the vídeo.
Just one word
Excellent!!!!
Interesting, but no spirit, not a single smile from the participants. Also, only youth… where are people 50-60-70 years old… blacks, minorities?
