When we were investigating locations for the ICI/PRO Conference last spring I looked at what venues other Fitness Conventions were using. Long story short, I got to know Sara Kooperman who is the founder of the SCW Mania conventions. Beyond being a very successful business women, Sara is also a sought after speaker and fitness presenter.
Sara regularly presents her Guaranteeing Instructor Excellence in Your Facility workshop. I felt that a portion of this presentation would be of interest to you. D.R.I.L.L TO HELP US CUE AND BE CREATIVE

It's been a busy week for ICI/PRO members. Charles Hilgartner – everyone knows him as “Spook” – opened InSync Cycle, his new Indoor Cycling Studio this weekend. Spook's studio is running Keiser M3's and is the only dedicated Indoor Cycling Studio in the Baltimore MD area.
This Saturday, InSync Cycle, the area’s only dedicated indoor cycling studio, promises to help beat the winter freeze with its grand opening celebration. Located in the former Casey’s Coffee shop in Hunt Valley, next to Valley View Farms and the Dutch Market, InSync Cycle is a studio that offers high energy, low impact daily spinning classes set to music and led by skilled instructors.
Modeled after similar studios like Soul Cycle in New York, Body Cycle in Philadelphia and Velovoomin Bethesa, InSync is the only indoor cycling studio in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Owner and master instructor, Charles “Spook” Hilgartner, says InSync captures three important benefits: “a ‘pay as you go’ program, guaranteed online reservations up to a week in advance and seven days of free workouts starting this weekend.
Last year, you joined us as we broke a Guinness World Recordâ„¢ with the largest cycling class ever. On March 6, we're doing it all over again. Saddle up and join us in this high-energy ride into history!
This year's event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the St. Paul RiverCentre in downtown St. Paul. The class will be led by Bahram Akradi, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Life Time Fitness.
The Ride of a Lifetime is exclusively for Life Time members and their guests. All participants must wear a 2011 Life Time Cycle Club jersey, which is included in the cost of registration.
All net proceeds of this event will benefit the Life Time Fitness Foundation, which is currently focused on improving the quality of children's nutrition in school.
