24-Year-Old Ends Up in Hospital After 1st Spin Class

I took a spin class when I was in the best shape of my life, like running 40 mins level 6 on the treadmill and then weight lifting. Because of that, I thought the spin class would not be a problem. Boy was I wrong! Because of the resistance lever and having you stand when you pedal, spinning is incredibly intense. I was sore for days afterwards. It was a wake up call and I didn't go back to it.

As a trainer, I can’t and won’t teach group classes. Each individual is different and even when they appearing young and healthy, I just never know the hidden things. When I train I get to know the diet, the sleeping habits, the heart issues, the type of body…. diabetics, blood pressure… and I formulate what each person needs and physically can do.

[@mikeycroker3480]

Your amazing. Thank you for doing this! I’m 40 (not heavy) but very out of shape. I ran last winter. Not too far and had a hard time catching my breathe. It was very scary. So thank god there’s ppl like you that have other ppls issues on your mind. Thank you again!

[@Aluxray1245_SFM]

Now this is an amazing type of trainer. No one should be forced to go at the same pace as each other. Everyone is different of course, you can't say that just because of one person being able to do things that everyone can do it, no. It's just not the way to go hence why, this is the type of trainer we needed

[@AImighty]

You’re smart bro. I hate People who aren’t qualified with no experience who try to train people the same way they train themselves without knowing the other persons health history. You have to be delicate with people, that’s why good trainers always have you go to a doctor and take a physical before they start training you.

Next time you workout increase your protein, electrolyte and water intake and you won’t have that problem. I see pt’s like you all the time in the hospital!!!!

[@Vendemiair]

@@jakefromstatefarm2263 As a medical doctor, that advice is fine but any person will still have a problem if they follow that AND still exercise beyond their limits. This is especially true for complete beginners. The most important part in any kind of exercise regimen is starting low and slow until your body has adapted. It is highly advisable for anyone starting an exercise regimen to follow a program because following "gut feel" on what your body can handle will typically lead to overestimation. A perfect example is running (which I do), you cannot go from couch to 5 kilometers in just a week. That will take something like 4 to 6 weeks and training regimens for these involve alternating run/walk AND rest days, because the body needs rest to recuperate.

[@SourStrawberrys]

@@Vendemiair I literally need to go from couch potato to 1.5 mile in 4-6 weeks. Hopefully I can.

[@Vendemiair]

@@SourStrawberrys I think most people can pull this off, as long as they don't have major physical problems or too advanced in age. It took me around 3 or 4 weeks to hit 1.5 miles and around 8 weeks to do 3 miles. I couldn't stick to the running program exactly because of work so I just modified it to make it longer to reach the goal. Over several years I've had two episodes of knee bursitis though (swelling of pockets of fluid) despite being a moderate runner, wearing properly fitted shoes, etc.

It's a good it happened years apart. However, I'm not an athlete, and I work out that much. I've have Crohns, which lowers my immune system.

I did a body pump class once and I loved it- and the instructor started SCREAMING at me to work harder when my legs finally just GAVE OUT on me during the last 10 minutes. It was humiliating. She wasn't encouraging, she was angry that I wasn't keeping up. I forced myself to go on even though I literally couldn't hold myself up- I was using the barre to stabilize myself and fell over a couple more times. I just started to tune her out and move super slow through the last few minutes. I got a few eye rolls from her. I think more fitness folks need to encourage members to LISTEN to their body, especially if it's their first time doing a class. There's no need to move at the speed and intensity as everyone else if you physically can't- you do your best, forget the rest, return next time for more. i hope this woman recovers fully!

There was a scandal involving a high school cheer coach who overworked the girls and several of them ended up in this condition..and then, later, a college track coach who got in trouble for the same thing. Athletes should know their bodies, the dangers, and their limits. This wasn’t caused by a “simple spin class”. This was caused by neglect.

[@Smiley957]

I mean I’ve been into working out for a while and I knew overtraining could lead to stuff like this, but after a 45min session? That’s just terrifying

[@humblymelanated2804]

Almost no one learns everything at once. Especially when it's something that may not occur so often. Experience leads to wisdom.

[@Lady.Luck.]

I've worked out all my life and never knew there was a sudden condition like this. Sure I know about pulled muscles or dehydration or overheating but not this

[@spiderliliez]

You don't need to be on a bike pedalling like mad. I was told not to look at the distance, nor look at the calories. Just pedal away until I finish the 30 minute or 20 minute mark, then I am done. I'm not going to strain myself too much specially after learning about this unfortunate incident. Get well, Kaelyn! I hope you all stay safe, people!

[@huskydadtokoda]

This happened to me when I was 10 years old, I was trying to keep up with my dad on a long distance "jog" he was in the Army and I wanted to give up but kept pushing forward. I couldn't move my legs the next day, it was excruciating pain. Luckily I recovered in a wheelchair after a couple days and IV fluids

[@courtneyannvd]

Listen to your body! If it doesn't feel right, stop. That's something my mom taught me and I took it with me all the way through basic training, even with a bunch of drill sergeants yelling to keep going cause you're not the only one in "pain". Your life is more important than running that extra mile if you don't feel right. 💯 I still graduated and I listened to my body throughout the process. Also, I took one spin class in my life and I never went back, my body was so sore 💀 I hope she gets back to where she was.

[@Jamaicanflava11]

This isn’t the first time I’m hearing of someone almost losing their life to a first time spin class. A friend of mine went to a high intensity spin class once and was in the hospital because too much was being release into the bloodstream . It’s crazy .

[@jackkraken3888]

What was too much bearing released?

[@lizettewanzer8650]

Too much what?

[@DaWahine79]

I learned how to keep it at my pace when I had, what almost seemed like a heart attack, when I did an aerobics class many years ago. And I was only 28! It was an on-base gym where hubby was stationed. Came to a point where an EMT took me to the ER (grateful for the military wives who saw me in the locker room about to pass out). After that, I made sure to not overwhelm myself, take small pauses and drink water. I hope this young lady recovers and regains her physical strength/mobility back.

[@jennybyun4593]

One of my friends took a spin class and also had to go to the ER for rhabdo. We were both in nursing school and had just learned one of the symptoms was dark brown urine from the muscle breakdown and she had exactly that. She didn’t need surgery but I’m not surprised to hear this woman had the same thing happen to her

[@CSIme]

I am in the hospital now with it. Took a spin class, didn't have time to workout, and now here I am. I work out all the time and knew something was off when I couldn't walk, and had dark urine.

[@abdielsanchez8388]

I had Rhabdo and I can tell you it was the worst feeling in the world, My whole body hurt and my kidneys suffered from this as well. Took me 3 months to get back up. Thank god I’m back in the gym a year later. Sometimes m kidneys still hurt tho 😞

[@seńor_t007]

It’s a shame but some of these “trainers” really don’t know what they’re doing. PS: if you’re tired, take a BREAK & catch your breath before continuing.

[@happygardevoir]

This 👍

[@abolisher]

Lmaooo

[@phoebejanemiller1671]

I'm so sorry this happened to her! You would think that something as simple as an exercise class would be safe. I'm sure this sort of situation is rare, but it is also important to remember that there is NO SHAME in going at your own pace at the gym. Overworking your body can cause injury, You'll still achieve your fitness goals if you go slow and steady.

[@MT-mc4hk]

Thank God for her guardian angel roommate. I pray for quick recovery!🌸💕

[@lunaarc23]

I'm so sorry to hear about this.. I hope you recover fully! 🙏

i never knew a condition like this could happen from over exertion and exercise

[@Rihardololz]

it happens when you overdoing it.

[@speakyourheart8548]

I trained hard, I was also a personal trainer. I refused to teach spin class. I found it to be so intense it didnt feel safe

[@200555280]

For spinning class if my heart rate reached maximum 160 BPM, I slow down. Its the average for non athletes.

[@Mario_N64]

That's the key, good trainers keep an eye on your heart rate.

[@susansgalaxy2219]

I am praying for her full recovery🙏🙏🙏

[@unknowncreature-0069]

The horrible irony of this happening to an athlete. I feel so bad for her.

[@pawsit6578]

I've always thought 45 mins on your first spin class was too much for some people. This is a rigorous exercise class and usually the instructors can be brutal and not stop to ask if everyone is ok.

[@GodfreyFirstEldenLord]

But why do y’all act like it’s the spin classes fault?

[@mdelvalle2456]

Because it was a result from it

[@Marissa-ys4qp]

happened to me after my first spin class, but I obviously didn't have to go to the hospital because I didn't have any complications. Basically, she did what I did: didn't stretch before or after the workout, and pushed too hard because she thought "well, I'm an athlete and this is going to be a piece of cake." I couldn't lift or bend my legs for about two weeks, but after taking hot baths, massaging the muscles, and doing slow stretches, I got better. So DON'T BLAME THE CLASS!!!! I hate when people resort to blaming something other than themselves.

[@shawn1869]

Don't over push yourself. Who cares about other people and what they think in the class. Go at your own pace. No one knows your body better than you do.

[@eyedolise]

It's unfortunate but pushing yourself like that on the first day, she's extremely lucky and a good health care system too!!

[@jangelderloos2211]

Wondering if she got vaccinated just before this occurred. Lots of athletes in great shape have experienced similar problems lately.

[@jessicabellone913]

Omg this is crazy! I’m so sorry that happened but I’m glad you’re improving. My ex actually had Rhabdo and he was in the worst pain of his life!!! He couldn’t walk or barely move. After his hospital stay he was able to make a full recovery. This seems like a rare and scary condition. Wishing anyone currently dealing with this love and a speedy recovery 💖

[@Julie-qr9ow]

I love spin classes! It sucks that this happened to her and I’m glad that she’s alive! But it’s important that everyone goes at their own pace. It should be common sense!

[@evilsharkey8954]

It should be, but a lot of people feel pressured by some instructors or want to challenge themselves or just forget that too much of anything, even exercise, can be harmful.

[@SimV239]

I do spinning too.. it’s not just about the pace.. it’s also about the posture, the seat to handle adjustments according to persons height. I’m wondering if she was guided by her instructor on the above. Using the bike incorrectly, will put a lot of pressure on your legs.

[@anniearbogast148]

I’m so glad she’s healing ❤️ If she was in shape & this happened, I know spin class isn’t for me!! God bless her heart

[@seiya.lifestyle]

I hope she gets recovered completely soon. 🙏

[@drstraange1]

Hope there is no lawsuit, this seems like her own fault, medically and physically herself or her own physician

[@lizettewanzer8650]

There'll be no lawsuit. Before you take these classes you sign a contract or agreement that says you agree your participation is 100% your responsibility, you ride at your own risk, you agree not to sue (or to mediation--usually not even that), you agree to absolve XYZ Spin Studio of any responsibility--everything except signing over your firstborn.

[@cindykelly210]

Thank you for the information I would’ve never thought anything like that could happen

[@rosagarcia7423]

Wow , no words…thanks for sharing her story

[@FeFe-el2hf]

I’m a trained dancer, former certified personal trainer and fitness buff. I love interval training with high impact spurts of cardio and weight lifting. And I have had quite a few injuries from dance and gymnastics. But I know my limits and what I can and can’t handle. I have always been afraid of spin classes and after seeing this story, my fear is confirmed. I pretty much always vowed to myself to stay away from spin. Anyways, I hope that she fully recovers to athlete status and is able to ween herself from the cane. This is why it’s so crucial to listen to your body, especially while working out, and stop if you notice things like extreme fatigue or a racing heart. And it’s important to slowly introduce new activities to your body. Never go full out on the first try.

[@tieiatalks]

Rhabdo doesn’t usually hit the average person who goes to the gym. Notice the dr said, “under some circumstances…”.

[@DimplesGenX]

Wish they would have included what the circumstances were.

[@tieiatalks]

@@DimplesGenX every time I’ve personally seen it was in bodybuilding. People who used performance enhancing drugs.

[@MB-ue2ww]

As someone who doesn’t work out much is that more likely to happen if I start because it will overwhelm the muscle? Just wondering if maybe I should start out by taking it easy.

[@HoshiHikarino]

They described her as athletic so she must have been doing something.

[@XactlyCeSe1]

I remember taking a CrossFit class. The first day after I drove home, I pulled up in front of my house and parked. I sat there for two minutes, leaned my head back to take a deep breath and relax. Blood just started gushing out of my nose 🩸🩸It was my first ever nosebleed and terrifying for me. I never went back 😭😭

[@LifeChanges41595]

I’m so glad she’s okay now.

[@purplegirl8036]

That’s crazy. It’s good to listen to your body and walk out if you have to.

[@jxjewel]

Damn they encourage you to exercise and when you do things like this could happen to anybody. Glad that she's ok

[@lisamilley9913]

Exercise is encouraged because it's good for you. What shouldn't be encouraged is overdoing it to the point of almost killing yourself.

[@evilsharkey8954]

Everything in moderation. Water is good for you, but too much can kill you, and I don’t mean drowning. If you’re new to an exercise or activity, don’t overdo it. Let your body say “I’m done now, gonna dial it back or take a rest and see how I feel in a few minutes.”
