How many calories will I burn in spin class?

An hour of spin class, due to its high level of intensity, will burn close to 775 calories per hour.

Depending on the intensity of the class, a 150 pound person can burn between 476 - 850 calories per hour participating in a spin class.

How many calories you burn during a Spin class is a direct result of how much effort you put into the class.  The two key elements that affect your calorie expenditure are resistence and cadence (pedal speed).  To burn more calories, increase the resitence while maintaining, or increasing, the cadence. 

Spin classes will vary greatly based on the instructor and the structure of the class.  However, you can always burn more calories by adding more resistence to your bike and maintaining the pace the instructor has set for the class, or song.    

Depending on the effort given, you can burn approximately 400 to just over 600 calories in a 45-minute Spin class.

The amount of calories burned in a spin class can vary depending on how much effort you put into it and the levels of intensity during class. On average an individual can burn between 500 - 800 calories per hour. The amount of calories you burn can also vary based on your body weight. An individual who weighs more will burn more calories per hour than someone who has less body weight.
