I just joined LA Fitness and I am really interested in trying a spin class. Have any of you tried a spin class and do they work? I am about 30lbs overweight and I just feel like everytime I lose 4-5lbs I gain them plus 3lbs. Will spinning help tone and lose weight and what else should I do?

Spinning is phenomenal! You can burn a lot of calories in spin class. It will only work if you are consistent with diet and exercise. The spin bike feels almost real and the music without ear buds is just as pleasant. You might seek a pair of bike shorts and a heart rate monitor before you start and take some water with you. It can work for you if you are serious about it.

it will. just make sure you sweat a lot, i mean put a lot of effort on the class. if you burn about 500 calories on a 45 minute class and you do it for a whole week and you do not change you eating patterns, you should loose about 1 pound. remember that 3000 calories equal 1 pound.
so keep it up and you will see those 30 pounds of in about 4 months
