METHUEN — Local gyms are encouraging animal lovers to get fit and help animals in the 7th annual “Tour de Pooch & Pals” Spin for Animals scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Participants in the spin can choose to register for one, two or three hours, and can spin as an individual or as a team. Registration is $30 per hour, and additional pledges are accepted. Those who raise more than $200 receive a T-shirt. To register, visit any of the participating gyms or mspca.org/nevins, said a press release from the MSPCA.
