Master Instructor Tom Scotto ends the year with another excellent Audio PROfile. ICI/PRO members can look forward to another 12 NEW PROfiles in 2012. “This is one of my favorite rides because it puts us under some “good” stress for long periods of time. We are going to be targeting a very uncomfortable level of intensity — just above our endurance effort and below the point we start to become breathless. It Continue Reading...

You know the type; this is the rider who after EVERY class quietly, almost stealthfully, navigates their way to the instructor bike and starts every class critique by saying “That was a great class!”, then pauses for a few seconds and says “But” or “Have you ever considered” or “You should try…” or “why did you…?”. The first few times this happens you're happy to engage, but as you realize Continue Reading...

It began as the dream of many Instructors – starting your own fitness business. Charles (Spook) Hilgartner made his dream real by opening the first dedicated indoor cycling studio in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. It was very sad to hear that InSync Cycle Studio closed. Spooks final note from their website… On a personal note: For the past three years, I have enjoyed the challenge of creating and operating InSync. I have Continue Reading...

Last week a SoulCycle Instructor filed a class action suit alleging he and other Instructors were not paid for the extra hours spent in class prep, meetings, marketing, promotion, etc… Does that sound like anyone you know? What's proper or legal when it comes work requests, beyond actually teaching your classes, when you're asked by management? I figured it would be helpful to get an understanding from someone who really understands the Continue Reading...

I hope you enjoy it, Joey Give up your Studio’s Spinning credentials because you want to use a different Indoor Cycling bike? Blasphemy!

My original concept for the Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast back in 2008 was simple and yet unique; use the power of an Internet Radio Show, delivered through iTunes, to provide a platform for the many voices in our industry. The show wouldn't be “about me” or a few self described “experts”, but rather my vision was for a vehicle that would be truly inclusive of the most progressive manufactures and education Continue Reading...
