We've got a bunch of ICI/PRO members scattered around the world who serve (and teach) in the military. I'm deeply appreciative of anyone who volunteers to serve – many times making huge sacrifices to do so.
I love when I hear from one –
Hi John –
As you may be aware, I'm working in Afghanistan through a limited
server connection. Our NATO gym has Danish bikes and instructors. It's
interesting to compare the IC styles from different geo locations…… I look forward to returning to the US and comforts of home, but until
then it'll be techno music and lots of standing climbs 😉– Ryan
Out of our appreciation for these brave men and women, we offer any active duty military Instructor a free subscription to ICI/PRO. It doesn't matter where they are located or which country they serve.
If you know if any Instructor who would benefit from this – please have them contact me.
P.S. Wouldn't it be cool to take an Indoor Cycling classes in/on and Aircraft Carrier like this one? Forget music, you just cue your sprints with every jet take-off 🙂
