Sheryl knows how to bring in the cyclists.
Outdoor cyclists can be very particular about their bike fit and setup. So much so that many won't come to your class because, after hundreds of hours on their own bikes, they don't feel comfortable on the Indoor Cycles in your studio. Then there's the issue of those who train with a Power Tap (or some other power measuring device) on their bike and yours don't have anything.
ICI/PRO Member and USA Certified Cycling Coach Sheryl DeBoer has found the solution: LET THEM BRING THEIR OWN BIKES!
Sheryl said in her email to me;
I had 36 riders the other night and this is December. What will January be like?
I demanded offered to have Sheryl on a future episode of the Indoor Cycle Instructor PRO Podcast so stay tuned for something in January!
This will be an ICI/PRO Members Only Podcast. If you aren't a PRO member yet, a Monthly or Annual subscription would makes a great Christmas present to yourself 🙂

Sheryl-
Great to see you in action and I am looking forward to your podcast with John. I am sure I will learn many great coaching tips from you. Looking forward to seeing you again in Boston on Sept. 30!

Hey Amy. Great to hear from you!! Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope I can say some things that will interest people:-)
Sheryl/John/Amy/Jennifer,
Please pardon my impatience to not wait for your podcast but, exactly how did you promote getting these riders to cart all the necessary equipment with them to your class even once let alone on a regular basis?
Thanks.
Chuck
