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:
- Foundation - class profile, training zones
- Presentation - communication and interpersonal skills
- 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.

Written evaluations: what is your idea regarding the mechaincs of having particpants fill out these form?
Would you hand out forms and pencils during the class, ask your class to stay after the class and fill them out…how would you get the majority of the group to phyisically complete a written evaluation?
