I've added in a detailed description of the different class positions I use in my cycling class workout. I believe this may be the first video I've published without the ridiculous outtakes at the end. Have you watched until the end to see them? Hope you enjoy this video! - Kaleigh Cohen Fitness

[@emilymunoz7095]

Well now I know my knees started to hurt after a month. My whole setup was incredibly wrong. I took your tips and instantly felt a relief when cycling. Thank you for this video!

[@kaleigh]

Hi Emily!!! That is great to hear!! I'm so happy this helped! 💜

[@zennycollins351]

Great useful information!!! I have been too many bike classes where the trainer completely forget to address proper set up/form while on bike. As a trainer I strive towards excellent form while exercising as it prevents injury and maximizes results !!!

[@AshwiniManoj]

I have been struggle to cycle for so many years because of the pain I feel on my knees. I tried this out with the spin cycle I got recently and it tremendously helped not feel the pain I have been having!!! Thanks a lot

[@Mrs.Estr.ada.]

Today is my first day!! 220 lb to burn 🔥 down 👍

[@homerobson7230]

You can do it :)

[@marshavanbibber1539]

I’m new to indoor at home spin workouts, thank you for the reminders of form and proper resistance. This was a good first workout!

[@bagluva]

I’ve watched a lot of fit videos for the spin bike and this is hands down the best one!!! Thank you!! I finally understand how it works! 😊

[@malekodesouza7255]

Thanks. Just bought an indoor (spin) bike. Just a 60 yr old trying to keep in shape, keep vibrant...enjoy life. I have a bad knee and I’m trying to avoid total knee replacement, too. I rode quite a bit when younger but it was all on real, outdoors bikes, both road and mountain. This is my first go on an indoor bike, so this was helpful.

[@kaleigh]

Woo!!! Awesome you got a bike!! Cycling is an awesome low impact option for the knees!!! Welcome to the channel! I’m glad you’re here and I’m glad this helped!! 🙌

[@chriswellington7379]

You know I’ve been cycling with you for months- I went to my chiropractor this week complaining of psoas or hip pain... turns out I didn’t have my seat high enough!! Thanks for sharing this♥️ see you on the bike soon!!

[@kaleigh]

Oh man!! So glad you figured it out though!! I’m actually really happy you brought this up. I’m going to suggest a bike setup refresher in an upcoming class, just in case anyone else comes across this issue!! Thanks, Christine!!! 💜💜💜

[@vanessanessmith]

Thank you for this video. My bike fits my body so much better, much smoother.

[@mnger9]

What a great instructional video. I really appreciate it! I watched it while at work. Now I know I have to change my setup on my bike when I get home, as it is wrong. Thank you again!

[@OsatoOkazaki]

EXACTLY what I needed! Other instructors make it more complicated. This is perfect and I'm excited to fine tune my form today. I'll do one of your 60 minute rides today; your information is great as is your energy! God bless!

[@debseng7541]

Waiting for my bike and did my research you are the one to follow. Can't wait! I'm over 60 and trying to get fit for my future.

[@karencook2589]

I had been spinning for three and a half years but haven’t been able to spin since the first of the year. My husband bought me a bike for my 67th birthday last month so I am ready to get back to spinning. Because of my age and the fact that I am now totally out of shape, I am going to start with the beginning classes and work my way up. I have tried a few other online classes but I like yours the best! See you tomorrow!!!

[@kaleigh]

Woo!! 🥳 What an awesome husband!! Such a great gift! 🚴‍♀️ I’m glad you’re back on the bike!! I love the dedication!! I’m so glad you enjoy the classes!! 💜🤗🎉 Thanks, Karen! See you on the bike!!

[@amermatk]

Thank you so much for this video...I now setup my new bike properly after 3 weeks!

[@LunaSimtea]

I so appreciate this video! I am a senior who is just starting out and have some health issues so it's super important for me to get my form correctly set up. I was feeling rather intimidated I am going to review your video several times and get right to it!! Thank you once again, your instructions are so excellent and so important, bless you!

[@melissaflygare2980]

Excuse me, but can we talk about those TIGHTS? 👀👌🏻💗 Thanks for the detailed instructions. I’ve been spinning for many years and needed the refresher.

[@kaleigh]

Always a good idea to refresh! I’m glad this video could help! 🤗 Thank you! Betsy Johnson tights! I didn’t even realize she made workout clothes until I found these! Bonus was they were in the clearance section!

[@CoffeeMakesMeHappy3]

Great tips! I’m short only 5’ tall so my seat is low but I double checked the height against my hip. My handle bars were waaaay too low so I adjusted those too. Thanks so much for making this video 👍🏼

[@frankchirico7567]

Hey, Im a cheap skate doing a peleton hack. Have been riding to a Pandora workout playlist. Decided to try a spin class on you tube. Your smiling face came up and I had to take your class. I loved it! Was dripping sweat on my mat. Since, I have tried one other persons class. I felt nothing, no warmth, no involvement, no teaching and most importantly no motivation. I felt like an outsider chasing her. She definitely didn't care that I was there, or that I am a 55 yo male beginner. Needless to say. You are my girl. Thanks for what you do and the way you do it.😉

[@kaleigh]

Awesome!! I'm so glad this helped!!!

[@krisantonio4705]

A quick way I learned to measure the distance between the seat and the handle bars is to measure with your forearm with your hand extended. If your elbow touches the seat and the fingertips touch the handbars then the distance should be perfect. Just a tip. :)

[@userlm2111]

Love your video, beginner herr and this is a life saver

I'm finding out that the Stryde bike, which seems to be very popular, is very hard to adjust. It is very weird to setup, especially if you are tall.
