I fell in love with spin while I was pregnant last year. Before then, I had only tried a handful of classes and didn’t really get the cult following and mostly complained about my butt being sore from the seat.

But when I actually gave it a chance (since it was the only workout that I really felt safe doing with a growing belly), I saw what all the hype was about.

I loved that it was a heart-pumping workout that was easy on my joints, that I could easily track my progress over time and that it was fun to do while hitting the beat of energizing music. I reached my best endurance level fitness during those nine months.

I was so excited to get back to it after giving birth, but when the pandemic kept us all out of the gym, I missed it a lot. I considered buying a Peloton but just couldn’t commit to the price point when I wasn’t sure I wanted to devote all of my workouts to spinning. So when I came across MYXfitness, which would bring spin into my home for almost half the price, I was intrigued to say the least. I learned that the in-home studio was much more than simply a spin workout — it provided the recovery my body was craving.
