I'm celebrating the one year anniversary of the Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast! Thank you to everyone who participated or listened over the past year.
When I started this Podcast, I was a bit concerned that I would run out of things to talk about. I mean really, Indoor Cycling is such a simple thing. What could I possibly talk about beyond 8 - 10 shows?
Boy was I wrong! I ended the first year with 53 episodes + some videos. If I had the time and additional resources, I could have easily produced twice that number of Podcast.
STAY TUNED! I'm going to be announcing some exciting changes coming here at the end of this month.
Here's a hint: Do you consider yourself a Professional Indoor Cycling Instructor? If so let me know by posting a comment.

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this site. I’m a Spinning instructor and have been on a continual search for educationally relevant information to bring to my classes. Not just profiles of rides and music but useful information to relay to students.
This is a great resource for all instructors.
Thank you for having the foresight to put this website and podcast together.
I really enjoy your podcast! This is a great place to get information that is useful to all indoor cycling instructors. I am a Spinning certified instructor, but I am really interested in what the entire spectrum of instructors are doing and what some common issues are. I am also a big fan of Jennifer Sage and have found her book to be extremely helpful. I think you two work well together as a team and I look forward to future podcasts. I really enjoyed the discussion of Jennifers latest interval profile and like many I look forward to more of this kind of specific material.
My situation is this. The only regularly scheduled class that I am teaching currently is a 30 min class title Begin To Spin. As the name implies it is aimed at beginners. I struggle with how to come up with profiles to address this group that will challenge them and yet not scare them away. To make it even more difficult, the class has now evolved to the point where I have a mix of first time Spinners, those who have maybe 3-5 classes, and those who have been with me for 4 months.
Any suggestions from you or Jennifer as to how I might approach developing profiles would be much appreciated.
