(MMD Newswire) July 30, 2010 -- Dedicated "Spinning®" students or those who attend any Indoor Cycling class, know what a difference a great instructor can make. Now local fans can prove just how great their favorite instructors are by urging them to enter the first contest of its kind: The World's Top Ten Indoor Cycling Instructors Contest. In an unprecedented move to identify the best of the best, Cycling Fusion has put together a contest to find top shelf talent for teaching what is arguably the most popular group exercise class in the fitness industry - Spinning® or Indoor Cycling.
"For three years now, we have been working on finding ways to share all the great things about this indoor activity with the entire cycling community - whether they ride indoors our out. This contest should help us find the people that are going to ultimately be the next driving force for change and expansion of the indoor ride." Gene Nacey, Founder of Cycling Fusion.
Ten instructors will be judged from a group of 40 finalists by a panel of Spinning(R) and Indoor Cycling experts, as the World's 10 best at their craft. The panel will score each instructor on a number of categories, with the highest rated woman, and the highest rated man each earning the top prize of a Keiser m3 power bike for their home.
All 10 Winners will also have their registration to the Indoor Cycle Instructor PRO Conference reimbursed, and be offered an opportunity to teach at the conference in October. Most importantly though, all ten winners will receive a formal invitation to join Cycling Fusion's Instructor Faculty where instructors are paid for recorded classes that will be shown all over the world. Scoring will begin on June 1st with final submissions due by August 31st, 2010.
The contest is open only to participants eighteen (18) years of age and older, who are Spinning(R) or Indoor Cycling Instructors currently teaching in a commercial fitness facilities.

Since a month I am thinking at it, last weeks I have recordered most of my classe to send something … and I could not find anything that would represent what, I think, are your request and research.
For me a class is 50% prepared the next 50% is just made by my population and the spirit of the group of the moment.
What a real IDC class succed is the connection with a group.
A lot of parameters, you I think, are gonna research can not be done in 9 minutes; althrough I understand that If you have to watch 50 to 100 full class you are gonna be mad. Giving you all that parameter in 9minutes would be like playing a “comedy” with as a goal giving you what you are research.
I will normelly send something, I have a shot that I think would be good but it was for me not a good class, not really me.
I have recordered a full hour seated climb and I think this one is great but in every single minute there are little things that make it whole.
