Please tell me this is normal - I took my first indoor cycling class yesterday, and I woke up this morning with a sore bottom! During the class, I kept thinking about how uncomfortable the bike seat was. Is this something that gets better with time?
-
@aprild: for me it got better with time. Some people buy padded shorts or get a seat cushion to help.
-
@aprild: definitely normal, definitely gets better with time!!
-
Very normal, and your bum will definitely get used to it soon!
-
Yup!! It get's easier after about a week.
-
Totally normal.
-
You definitely get used to it! The first few classes are a bit painful, though. But I love spinning!
-
Very normal - the first few rides are always really hard on my pelvic bones, particularly! If you're going to be doing it several times a week, it may be worth buying padded bike shorts or capris. I think mine are Pearl Izumi brand - I got them on sale and they've lasted a few years so far.

Like everyone else has said, totally normal. If you're new to spinning and the pain/irritation continues, you might have the instructor check your bike set-up. Moving the seat closer (or back an inch or two) might help make a difference. Also try moving the seat up/down as well. Sometimes I'm not careful about my seat height and my butt grazes the seat more than it should, resulting in skin irritation and soreness.
-
Did you get help with the bike set up? I was in pain until I got the settings right, even with padded shorts.
-
Buy padded shorts and keep going to the class! It hurt me so badly at first but after a few weeks I didn't notice it anymore. I kept going and lost 30 pounds

I have a padded seat because I hate when my ass hurts and I have no butt padding. I haven't gone to spin class in years....I even have clips LOL
