Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking countries the verb dar is the go‑to verb for “to give/hold” a class (e.g., dar una clase de yoga). The term spinning is widely understood, but you’ll also hear ciclismo indoor or clases de ciclismo estático in more formal contexts. When speaking to older generations, you might prefer the latter to avoid excessive anglicisms.
