(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.
Spinning(R) is registered trademark of Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc. Mad Dogg Athletics is not involved with the contest.
6/17 7:32 CST Update – We have a huge storm here. Before my Internet fails I thought I should post the links! Jennifer and I are excited to meet everyone!
Just wanted everyone to see that I have committed to doing the Life Time Fitness Triathlon on July 10th this summer 🙂
We started our 2 hour rides (up from 90 minutes) today and my iPod was in charge of the playlist. It did a great job!
We did what I call my Endurance Shuffle Class. HR is to stay in upper Zone 2 to lower Zone 3 while every song change requires some change in the rider. It could be; position, intensity, focus, cadence, load, emotion, pedal technique, anything so long as it was something. I encouraged them to just go with whatever the song lead them.
