First off: group fitness classes live and die by getting a core of regulars. This class he went to was employing time tested social techniques of getting repeat people. Especially for an a la carte gym. The all female bent was strange, most lifetime fitness classes are pretty mixed, and spin tends to make more than female. Then again this was the weird dance on bike phenomenon which as a "real" cyclist was always weird to me. ...50 classes to "get" spin? I think he was only going once or twice a week in the beginning, so yeah he didn't improve that fast. People, work out 4-5 times a week, it works really well at developing fitness over 1-2 times, where you won't really stress the body to improve long term.
