Among the results found, it was observed that all participants were female, that 68.2% of users reported that the experience of exercising at home was excellent; most users attended classes 2 or 3 times a week; regarding the use of the digital platform during virtual classes, most judged the tool to be excellent. Given the assumption, it can be concluded that the experience of participating in remote Spinninig classes at home, at the time of social isolation imposed by COVID-19, was very beneficial to the physical and emotional health of practitioners, and that actions such as these should be encouraged and stimulated, given the importance of staying active and taking care of our health even in periods of pandemic and social isolation.
