Besides from that, many if not most 172 will not spin at all and if they are re-rigged to be able to, they feel quite wrong upon doing so.
Resumé: I would not bother if spinning a 172 I could not cope with, or does feel bad - it is.
Advice: do spinning training in an aircraft really meant for it.
That's not true. Check the POH.
In the Utility Class (low weight) they can be spun. There are however warnings about how to: low deaccceleration and minimal "forces ". But then why would you want or need to when it's not included in the PPL syllabus.
