Especially in the moment?

When you say our tension should be a 9/10 and “climbing a really steep hill”, it’s frustrating that you are still cruising at 80 RPM. And when you say “1/4 turn to the right” 6-10 times in the song and your RPM barely changes, there is no way your tension was set in the first place.

We get it, your focus is speed, however when there is 1-2 inches of daylight between you and your saddle on a sprint and you’re constantly telling everyone “you shouldn’t have any bounce in your butt”, it makes people question your effectiveness.

In reality, I know it doesn’t matter, it’s just bicycle karaoke and I need to focus on my efforts.

Thanks for your time, and I’ll see you again tomorrow.

Edited to add context based on comments:

My gym has 5 spin instructors who rotate classes on a schedule. There is only 1 spin class per day, and 2x a week those classes are only 30 min long. The instructor I wrote about only teaches 1 class per week, and maybe 1-2 of the Saturday classes per month. So yes, this is her workout. This is the only class she teaches at the gym, and goes to work her actual job after class.

All the spin instructors use some sort of number system, I’ve never been to a spin class where they didn’t.

Last year I was working at a location away from home and the spin class I found used light dumbbells for an arm workout, but that is the only class I’ve ever been in that utilized that format.
