    Default spin class

    What is "spin class" in the following?

    Think of it this way: Are you phoning it in at Ordinary Joe's yoga class? Or do you walk out of Extraordinary Joe's spin class glowing with well-being?

    Thank you.

    A spin class is an exercise class where you sit on a static bicycle and pedal at different speeds, sometimes with your bottom on the saddle and sometimes not (you usually pedal furiously until you want to die!)

    The actual exercise itself is called "spinning" but when used as the name of the actual "class" it always seems to be shortened to "spin class".
