CONTINUING EDUCATION BENEFITS
Member retention is a primary goal of every facility. With that in mind, we want Spinning® instructors to keep their riders
engaged and their sessions full. They can do this by sharpening their skills, inspiring others and creating truly memorable
experiences with our continuing education program.
The courses in our continuing education program not only keep instructors up-to-date on the latest health and exercise
science information, but they also enable them to tailor their classes specifically to every member that comes through a
facility. Continuing education leads to happy members, and happy members lead to more consistent revenue growth.
Instructors must earn at least 14 continuing education credits (CECs) every two years to be considered a Certified
Spinning Instructor. We offer a myriad of ways for instructors to earn their CECs.
CONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOPS
These live 2- or 4-hour workshops led by a Spinning Master Instructor help instructors build a broad range of skills in a
number of topic areas. They also provide CECs for leading fitness organizations including ACE, AFAA and NASM.
ONLINE COURSES
Like our live workshops, Spinning online courses deliver a self-paced learning environment for instructors to earn CECs
and keep their certification current wherever they may be.
CONFERENCES & GLOBAL EVENTS
Instructors can earn all 14 CECs they need every two years at events that bring together instructors from around the
world. Our two largest events include the World Spinning® and Sports Conditioning (WSSC) Conference held annually
in Miami, and the Spinning® Experience (SPEX) held annually in the Netherlands.
FACILITY BENEFITS
The Spinning continuing education program offers several great benefits to facilities, including:
• Maintains and enhances the quality of a facility’s Spinning Program
• Increases member retention by improving quality of Spinning classes and participant satisfaction
• Encourages proper safety techniques and guidance
• Improves new training offerings and techniques
• Creates new programming opportunities like live workshops and Spinning events
