Abstract
[Excerpt] Group exercise settings can offer a team-like environment that can enhance social bonding as well as increase perceived physical ability and perhaps higher enjoyment of the activity. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals who engage in group exercise were suddenly unable to attend their conventional exercise classes. To combat the isolation of the pandemic, a local spin studio allowed its members to rent a spin bike and follow along to rides broadcasted and recorded by instructors. Although the at home spin routine was similar to the workouts performed in the studio, the attitudes of participants could vary greatly as the group atmosphere would be missing from the at home experience.
