This is a page of links, information, and other things that may be
useful to Spinning® instructors
and enthusiasts.
First and foremost, http://www.spinning.com
is the official home of the Johnny G. Spinning®
program. On this page, you will find information on
the Spinning® program, clubs near
you
that have Spinning®, Certification,
Recertification, sample profiles, and more.
If you use a computer to create your profiles with a spreadsheet or a
word processor, then you might want to try this
truetype font that I created.
To save the font on your computer, right click on the link and choose
"save link target as" (if you use Netscape) or "save target as" (if you
use Internet Explorer).
If you use Windows 9x or Windows 2000, then you can install the font by
clicking:
Start, Settings, Control Panel, Fonts. When the font window
comes up, click: File, Install New Font. Browse to the location
where you saved the font, and double-click on "Spinning Symbols" in the
"List of Fonts" box. The font is now ready to use in your
favorite spreadsheet or word processor.
If you use MacIntosh, then consult your documentation for instructions
on installing fonts.
(Update: I've been getting reports that the fonts work in some Mac applications, but not in others. I've never worked on a Mac, so I've no way to confirm this. Your Mileage May Vary.)
The font is most useable at 14pt or larger, and scales well to any
larger font size. After installing this font, you can choose
"Spinning Symbols" from the list of fonts in your word processor or
spreadsheet, and then the numbers 1-9 will show up as the symbols used
in Spinning® profiles. The
number "0" will show up as an empty box (in case you have need for one).
Update: On 11/14/2003 I
uploaded a new version of the font. This version has
everything the old version had, plus:
!
(shift 1):
Heart Symbol (Heart Rate Check)
@
(shift 2):
RPM (Cadence Check)
#
(shift 3):
Right Arrow
If you use this font, then please drop me a note and let me know (you
can use the link at the bottom of the page to send email to me) .
For one thing, I'm interested to know if anyone (other than me)
finds it useful, and it will also allow me to contact you if I improve
it. If you find it SO useful that you feel guilty using it for
free, then locate a reputable charity (Paws for a Cause, Leader Dogs
for
the Blind, your local soup kitchen, World Wildlife Fund, etc.) and make
a donation in my name. The cool thing about this is that you can
write it off from your taxes!
