There were a few things of interest at IHRSA this year that I’d like to tell you about: NOTE: I completely overestimated my available time to write my review of the Stages SC3 = I hope to have it completed by Sunday… but don’t wait for me if you’re planning to pull the trigger on a studio > The SC3 is a solid IC option and I wouldn’t have any
Schwinn Wins Award for Their Class Tamer iPhone App
Merrill Richmond with StairMaster | Schwinn send me a press release about how the Schwinn Class Tamer iPhone App had won an Outstanding Achievement Award. Pretty cool:) Schwinn developed this as their gift to Instructors – and an expensive gift at that. I don’t know exactly what they’ve spent on the design and ongoing maintenance of the Class Tamer App. I have looked into contracting with an App development company, to

$50.00 Spinning / Indoor Cycling Bike Power Meter
Here is my solution to one of my biggest frustrations: watching someone ride with little or no resistance. Bikes like the Keiser M3, Cycleops Pro 300PT and the new Schwinn A.C.
