College courses exploring the text of Harry Potter have become more and more common in recent years, but Ohio State University might be the first to offer a Hogwarts-themed fitness class!

The Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC) at Ohio State recently experimented with hosting a Harry Potter-themed spinning class, where students work out to wizard rock and music from the films. The class was such a success that RPAC is looking forward to hosting similar events in the future.

Watch the video above to get a glimpse of the spinning class and see what some fans thought of bringing Harry into the gym!

I've been making magic at MuggleNet since 2012, when I first joined the staff as a News intern. I've never wavered from the declaration in my childhood journal, circa October 2000: "I LOVE Harry Potter! If I clean my room, my mom says she'll make me a dinner a wizard would love!" Proud Gryffindor; don't hate.
