then I had a discussion with a friend who said that weight training is essential for burning off body fat, combined with the aerobic/cardio training.
I'm no expert but I don't see too many over-weight runners out there....weight-lifters on the other hand....
The uncle ran marathons and swears that when you are running for over an hour you're then starting to really buring fat

As I understand it, it isn't essential, but it will help a lot. Weight training turns fat into muscle, and muscle burns calories far more efficiently than fat does, so you'll lose weight more quickly than you would if you were just doing cardio.
What are spin classes?
It's a class with everyone on exercise bikes. Generally they last about 45 mins. There's an instructor who plays music and directs the class. On each bike there's a resistance control which makes it easier or harder to pedal simulating hills or sprints. The instructor tells you how far to turn it, normally in tandem with the music and guides the workout. Most gyms run beginners and advanced classes. Don't spoof into the advanced class the first time out of pride...I did and nearly died. It's great though.
Much like college aim for the back row...best view and all that.
