What is the difference between spinning, bodybiking, RPM and indoor cycling?

Whether you should use the word spinning, bodybiking, RPM or indoor cycling comes down to what cycle, instructor and training programme you use. Since 1992 the word ‘spinning’ have been a registered trademark. ‘Spinning’ therefore refers to the unique fitness products, cycles and programs offered by the trademark holder of spinning. If you want to use the word ‘spinning’ it is necessary for you to be trained as a spinning instructor by the spinning trademark holder, purchase their spinning cycles and in addition get their permission. There are other companies that have their own trademark for the cycle activity known as spinning. E.g. Les Mills has registered the trademark RPM which is a contraction of Raw Power in Motion. Les Mills define RPM in the following way: ‘RPM™ is the indoor cycling workout where you ride on an indoor cycle to the rhythm of powerful music’. So whether you should use the word spinning, bodybiking, RPM or indoor cycling comes down to what cycle, instructor and training programme you use. However, when it comes down to the actual cycle activity that the word ‘spinning’, bodybiking, RPM or indoor cycling refers to, there is no difference.
