Maybe it comes down to pacing I guess. The thing I didn’t like was the ‘booming’ music, and the instructor yelling stuff. I like the serenity of my surroundings, and being outside…regardless of the weather conditions.

Total agreement on the statement regarding the "booming music" and the instructor yelling. Also the serene surroundings and outside. Kudos to those that do spin class, I give a hard pass.
