Well, I've been an instructor for 28 years and this is NOT how the Spinning(R) Program educates Instructors how to set up a rider to a bike. Saddle height should START with aligning with the TOP of your thigh when the leg is bent to 90 degrees, which would be in line with the Greater Trochanter. This should get the rider close to the desired 25-35 degree bend in the knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke. ("Heel check" will confirm) Fore/aft saddle alignment should be determined by aligning the patellar tendon, the soft part just below the kneecap in line with the BALL of your foot, which should be over the pedal spindle. Ride on...

my bike at my cycle class is completely different. I am looking into more research into spin cycle to educate myself more as I take 5 classes a week. goal is to become an instructor. do I need to look into all the different bikes or how does that work? I would like to teach at multiple country clubs in my area so I do not want to walk into one place to interview and not know about there bikes they use!!

Good tips btw the background music is too laid😂

"Flat row" like I have any idea what that means.

[@mattb9138]

I think he said “flat road” as in it should feel like cycling on a flat road

[@neeraaja]

Flat road as if without slope or climb. At ease

Lose the crappy background music and this video would be a lot more watchable.
