I’ve also posted this at cyclingstudio.org When the world markets were crashing in 1929 and the American economy was in ruins, Angelo Siciliano, an Italian immigrant, saw opportunity in the face of darkness. In the midst of financial despair and against all odds, Siciliano pioneered the fitness revolution as we know it today. As a young man weighing only 97 pounds, Siciliano was at the beach with his girlfriend when a bully kicked
Starting an Indoor Cycling or Spinning® studio….can it work?
You’re passionate about fitness, you love indoor cycling and you may even be an outstanding instructor yourself. You recognize the amazing energy in a great class, and you’ve also seen a lot of poor or mediocre classes that frustrate you. Maybe you’ve wondered if a dedicated studio can make money? Should you start your own studio? Great questions. While not nearly as common as yoga studios, there are

Hi John, My name is Julie and I am the owner of a cycling studio in Philadlphia, PA called “The wall cycling studio.” This past weekend I had a couple instructors over and after a little time we somehow got on the discussion of how one of my biggest dreams to live is to show up to a spin class while on vacation, the instructor not show up and for
ICI Podcast 285 – Understanding Fitness Instructor Professional Liability Insurance
