Former Schwinn Master Trainer Julz Arney needs your help and she's offering a nice gift in exchange – her latest class music playlist and profile for Moving Mountains!
Hello John
You are getting this email from me because in the past you so generously donated to this awesome cause, where 100% of the money raised goes directly toward research to cure rare cancers. Did you know that covers everything from ALL pediatric cancers to ovarian cancer, cervical cancer and thousands more?
As a thank you for your donation, I sent you an indoor cycling class design from my Saturday morning Cycle Beats class at Equinox ready to teach in your next workout, or a link to a special playlist on Spotify, or in years past…BOTH. I wanted to let you know that I'm at it again for 2017 and if you are able to donate at least 25.00, the deal is ON!
For fun, and because I already know you are a fantastic person, I've included the Spotify link to the music here. No pressure – it's all love! <3
Should you feel moved to give another 25.00 this year (here's the link), I'll email back the pdf of the 60:00 minute ride called “Moving Mountains” just as soon as I see your donation come through.
Master Instructor Joey Stabile from Cycling Fusion contributed his Christmas class profile. If you have a class or two this weekend, your participants might enjoy this structured workout featuring some Christmas tracks to celebrate the season.

Is it possible to create Performance Cycling Classes that are entertaining and compelling, for both endurance athletes and non-cyclists? David McQuillen, with The Sufferfest video series, says you can with entertaining video content – note the emphasis on entertaining 🙂
I've been aware of David's videos for years. Perfect for pounding away in the garage or your basement, but I didn't consider them suitable for group cycling classes. Turns out I may need to adjust my thinking about this… With more than 45 licensed facilities worldwide (they're called Sufferfest Embassies) it sounds like there is a group application for these extremely well produced HD videos.
Listen below as David and I discuss his ideas on expanding your studio's appeal to cyclists through the use of his Sufferfest training videos.
Studio/Club Owners and Managers interested in becoming a licensed Sufferest facility can request a free information package by emailing Kate Patterson Kate@TheSufferfest.com – you'll want to include your studio's name and location.
Please tell Kate you heard this interview on ICI/PRO and she'll send you a pair of these cool Sufferfest Socks, just for saying hello! Limited to responses through June 30th.
