[@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 !!!

[@chrisdimler7631]

Finally!!!!! Someone explained it clearly for a newbie.!!!! I got my bike and I am ready to start my fitness journey @54. A bit late but better late than never. Thanx Kaleigh, see you in class !

[@kaleigh]

Yay!!! So glad this could help, Chris!! 😄

[@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!

[@denysetoland8848]

My new bike will be here next week, & I'm super excited to start spinning! Thank you for your videos. I'll be using them every day!

[@jovra7640]

Thank you! Just got my stationary bike almost a week now. You were the first exercise video that came up, and I’m so happy I found you. Thank you!

[@Unhx4]

This was perfect!!! Helped me get my bike set up perfectly and even posture! Although I am well over weight and just starting so i wasnt able to do the standing position yet it gave me a great goal!!!! This is a great newbie setup video! Thankyou!!

[@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!

[@elephantr1043]

Thank you for sharing the proper setup! Now I know how to adjust the bike in my gym. I have been enjoying working out with you ❣️

[@kaleigh]

You’re very welcome! 🤗 And thank you for taking the time to watch the video! Setup and form are so important!!!

[@familyburrows3601]

Super helpful Kaleigh. I just got a bike, following your guide, set it up using this guide, and will do your 20min Cycling Workout for beginners. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your expertise. Nice one!

[@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! 😊

[@amermatk]

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

[@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.

[@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!! 🙌

[@user-lk7tk3rb4m]

[@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!!

[@faerydae4999]

This is SO helpful! It turns out my bike is just too little lol. The seat won't raise up high enough and it won't adjust foreward or backwards. Definitely time to look into replacing this bike to avoid issues!!

[@soyeonlim7841]

Just got a bike. Thanks for great information 👍

[@kaleigh]

Awesome you got a bike! I’m glad this could help! ☺️

[@lindaj.brooks2365]

Best tutorial ever. So happy I stumbled across your channel.

[@kaleigh]

Yay!!! 😊 Thanks, Linda!!

[@lindaj.brooks2365]

Kaleigh Cohen Fitness, have you ever rode a Peloton bike. I would love to know how to gauge my Peloton resistance to a different spin bike. Right now I am gauging myself by how heavy I can ride, if that makes sense 😏😏🤨🤨

[@kaleigh]

I’ve never been on a Peloton bike or tried a workout! However, my mom has so I asked her if she could give me an idea of how their scale works. This is what she said, “Your 10 is probably their 70-80. Your 6 is probably their 30-35. Your 5 is their 25-30 (rarely done). Your 7 is probably their 50-60.” Again, I can’t say for certain since I haven’t tried myself. The scale that I use is all relative to the person and will start to increase with consistency as you get stronger as well! 🥳🤗 I hope this will help!

[@lindaj.brooks2365]

Kaleigh Cohen Fitness, thank you and your mom is correct that’s how I gauges myself when I first started riding my Peloton but I cannot convince my friend to increase her cadence on her Peloton to achieve the same workout she experienced on a Schwinn bike. I love your videos.

[@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!

[@remuslupin6460]

Thanks so much! 💕💕 subscribed. ☺️

[@kaleigh]

💜 Thank you, Remus!!! 😁

[@kimlarjohnson2263]

i have a Pro Fitness cant get digital thing to work but i will have another go. i was going to get rid of stationary bike then saw your videos and that was it, i got the stationary bike bug again! that was about 3 months ago so back on bike now whooohooooo!

[@janetfields8875]

Excellent!

[@kaleigh]

Thank you, Janet!! 💜🤗
