-
Master of Music – The effectiveness of a workout largely depends on the music and Spinning instructors abide by this rule of thumb. By listening to a variety of music that’s old and new, paying close attention to the beat and Spinning your way through the song, students open their ears to different genres and build a deeper appreciation for music, while also staying up to date on the hottest hit of today!
