Yes, you may have a case against the gym. If the instructor improperly strapped your foot in the pedal, you may have a case against the gym. The instructor also had a duty to offer appropriate instructions on how to use the bike during the spinning class. If your foot slipped off the pedal as you stood up because the instructor failed to give appropriate instructions on how to use the bike, then you may also have a case against the gym in that situation.
You may also have a case against the bike/pedal manufacturer if there was some defect on the pedal.
