Gene Nacey’s Global Ride Studio offers a training product for cyclists that sounds exactly like what Graeme Street described last week.  A combination of Education, Spinning, Weight Training & Pilates — Gene’s program has been very successful.

A classic “Win – Win”; the participants are better prepared for their outdoor season and Gene's studio benefits from the additional revenue.
We also discuss his Cycling Fusion project and the Giretto d’Italia LIVESTRONG event he has planned for May.

The online fitness tracking software Gene uses to track his clients progress is Ride Journal.

Sport and Exercise Psychology Expert, Dr. Haley Perlus  and I discuss the responses to a question I asked a while back; "What frustrates you as an Indoor Cycling Instructor?" I found that after reviewing the 80 responses I could divide the act of teaching an effective and entertaining Indoor Cycling Class into three categories:

  1. Foundation - class profile, training zones
  2. Presentation - communication and interpersonal skills
  3. Media - music & videos

The majority were related to finding music and playlists. Next were frustrations on finding new class profiles and introducing real training principles into a class.

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
