Thinking of trying something new.
Where can I find out how you become a certified spin-instructor in the US? I am close to Mi, and OH.
Thanks

www.spinning.com is one such institution

I think they are run by a company called Madd Dogg Athletics

spinning is the “official” terminology given to this type of stationary bike training

First go to the club (s) you would be considering teaching at to get the exact certifications they accept. Some clubs will not accept AFAA certification, some only accept Schwinn, some think “Spinning” is the only true certification. It would be a waste of time to get certified in a method the clubs won’t accept in your area.

Check out this guys page, he has done a lot of the ground work for you already.

 +1.  Find out what certification they want.  It isnt exactly a regulated industry, so there are a bunch of players.
