While I was in Boston last week meeting with Tom Scotto, Bill Pryor and Kenji Freedman, Gene Nacey was at this years IHRSA in California. It's the largest fitness equipment show in the USA and Gene was there checking out all the new Indoor Cycling bikes (or should I say cycles) that offer Power. Take a look at his video report.

Here is a time-lapse video of the show setup.
Amaud Mitchell and Spin Instructor Tracy Smith
Here is a refreshing bit of good news: two employees of the Santa Monica Spectrum Athletic club's quick action and an AED saved the life of a participant who was having a heart attack during a class last week. Although they don't identify Tracy Smith as the Instructor in the class, based on her interview in this video I'm guessing that she was. Tracy, along with another employee Amaud Mitchell quickly performed CPR and then administered the AED, saving the man's life. Hats off to both of you:)

Do you have an AED at your club? Have you been trained to use it?
Blame it on Mr. Smith
If you commented between Friday evening and mid-day Saturday and now can't find you comment, I apologize.
We moved the website to a new hosting server over the weekend. The process requires copying the entire site to it's new home and then changing some settings on the Internet that decide which server you see when you go to www.indoorcycleinstructor.com. During the move there was a period where, depending where you are located in the world, you continued to see and comment on the old site. Despite our best efforts to complete the move in as quickly as possible, there were some delays and unfortunately there is no way to recover the lost comments 🙁
Me and Tom Scotto before his class
I'm in Boston this week meeting with a number of ICI/PRO Team members. On Wednesday I met with Tom Scotto and we recorded this short video. Later that evening I had the privilege of participating in his Cadence Builder class. While I was there I taped the entire class and will be publishing it this weekend for our ICI/PRO members.
Tom’s informative articles will help prepare you to teach an awesome class.
His Instructor class profiles are some of the best we've ever recorded – ICI/PRO subscription required, it's just $1.00 for the first week.
I have added the Month and Day back to the post headings. We had removed them as a sort of experiment, but received a number of complaints, so they're back. The idea was because much of what is published here is timeless, it didn't make sense to date it. The Blog format of this site works well for a continous flow of new articles and content, but I didn't realize that many of you use the date listing to help understand some of the context of what they are reading.
We are in the process of reviewing how everything is organised here and I would love to know your ideas for making indoorcycleinstructor.com easier to use.
Amy and I went down to this year's Life Time Fitness Ride of a LifeTime big group ride at the Saint Paul River Center. You will see how much fun we have seeing our students and friends at this event. At the end of the video Amy challenges all of us to do whatever you can to promote Indoor Cycling.
