Spinning is one of the most popular fitness workouts in Britain and there are many health and fitness benefits of spin classes.

We all know about the gym basics; the treadmill, rowing machine or leg machine. But do you know how each piece of equipment actually benefits you?

After a hard day’s work, the last thing most of us feel like doing is slogging it out at the gym. Motivation starts to dwindle and it becomes much easier to reach for the remote instead of a dumbbell.

In the new year, everyone is dusting off their trainers and heading to the gym to kick-start their fitness resolutions.

You know the drill. There’s that person who’s always in the gym at the same time as you, but you’ve never spoken. Or the first time you walk into a class and the fear of not knowing anyone feels like a workout in itself.
