As an Indoor Cycling Instructor, I feel it will be helpful for you to have some understanding of how it works and the value it can bring to you and your Spinning class.

Michael Williams, the CEO of iTMP Technology, is my guest for episode #40.  Can you believe 40? Michael and I discuss his personal inspiration and fitness journey that lead to the development of the iSpinning iPhone app. iTMP also is offering other iPhone fitness apps; iRPM, iBPM and the iNewLeaf app that brings your Heart Rate Training Zones from your latest Metabolic assessment right into your iPhone or iPod touch.

ICI Podcast 34 Stage 5 Cycling Instructor Certification

ICI Podcast 34 Stage 5 Cycling Instructor Certification

This Podcast is was originally published on February 21, 2009, I have updated it with our new Podcast host information and I am representing it now. I hope you enjoy it, Joey

Stage 5 Cycling CEO Tom Scotto and I discuss his Indoor Cycling Certification program that focuses on proven "Road Cycling" coaching and training techniques. Their 2 day certification program sounds very comprehensive:

  • Developed and taught by Certified USA Cycling Coaches
  • Cycling Anatomy, Kinesiology and Biomechanics at the core of program design
  • Periodization Training Model provides the framework for workout structure, specificity and intensity
  • Exercise Physiology taught to properly target workouts and understand the body’s response to training
  • Comprehensive written and practical exams to ensure each instructor has obtained the knowledge and tools needed to teach

Tom has some interesting ideas on how you can offer additional, fee based, small group services to the participants in your class.

If your are interested in transitioning from part time Instructing to Coaching as a full time career, you may want to contact them to learn more.

Update: Stage 5 Cycling is now part of Cycling Fusion. Find a list of Cycling Fusion indoor cycling certifications and workshops

I have always felt that there was something missing when you compare riding a Spinning bike indoors with riding outdoors; an understanding (or some measurement) of how much power you are actually creating.

We may have found the answer…

Listen to this interview with Angie Sturtevant, the Fitness Education Director for the CycleOps Power program. Her training programs are tied to the CycleOps Phantom 5 Indoor Cycle..

Angie explains the science of Training with Power, your Power Threshold and applications for using Power to achieve weight loss.

Angie is also the owner of Specialists in Sports Performance in Madison, WI
