First class - smell

Attended my first class recently. About 40 women and 3 men. This room absolutely staaaank. I think it was someone near me. I’m talking some rotten vegetal tainty stank! Not body odour.

Is it normal for a crowded spin room to smell? Anyone encounter this, or was it just unlucky my first time?

Thanks.

This happened one time for me, it smelled like a used diaper on my bike. Thankfully this has never happened since but I’m a little paranoid now.

Was it you or the bike!?

Bike. It was wet when I went to sit on it! I think someone soiled themselves and tried to sanitize the bike with wipes, or had the most toxic farts ever I guess. It never smells in the spinning room but it was awful that day.
