Ben Greenfield is our newest ICI/PRO Team Contributor. Through his new RockStar Triathlete Academy, Ben has promised to help me with my training for the three Multi-Sport events I have committed to this summer.
Besides all of his education and experience as a competitive endurance athlete Ben is an Indoor Cycling Instructor just like us. He knows how to use a Spinning Indoor Cycling class to train for competitive endurance events and how to build a class that focuses on training (what I call Indoor Cycling 2.0).

Hi Ben! Quick question: I’m trying to convince coaches for an NCAA University to encourage their basketball/soccer/tennis/etc. athletes to take Spinning classes and they are balking. Is there any info you have to support how Spinning/indoor cycling can be used for sport specific training? Many thanks!
I was doing IDC with a pro basket ball team in Europe.
They chose IDC because during the season was long and with all the match it was the best non-impact cardio activity, they have so many stress on theyr articulation that it was a way to recover & maintain some endurance.
It was also good when some were injuried to help theyr rehabilitation.
We were not using it as a HIT training.
I hope it will help. The coach have to understand the benefice of IDC: long term not short term and healthier athlete.
I work for a University that utilizes indoor cycling classes to supplement athletic training of Swimmers, Tennis, Golf, Volleyball and several other sports. We have been at the top of national rankings all year.
