You’re passionate about fitness, you love indoor cycling and you may even be an outstanding instructor yourself. You recognize the amazing energy in a great class, and you’ve also seen a lot of poor or mediocre classes that frustrate you. Maybe you’ve wondered if a dedicated studio can make money? Should you start your own studio? Great questions. While not nearly as common as yoga studios, there are
Favorite Track of The Week
This new release from Harry Styles‘ self named album makes a great faster hill at around 74 rpm. It’s a totally different sound than you’re used to hearing from the One Direction star, and it will definitely rock your next class. Here is Kiwi: Kiwi by Harry Styles iTunes link While you’re checking out the newest releases, don’t overlook this one by Robin Schulz and James Blunt called OK. As
A few additional thoughts and observations on SoulCycle
Over the last couple of days I’ve remembered a few points that didn’t make it into either part 1 or part 2 of my SoulCycle articles that I wanted to share today. 3 pound hand weights can get really heavy This was surprising to me John! I received a bunch of emails and read multiple Facebook comments, all expressing the same basic sentiments; your observations are the exact opposite from
Favorite Track of The Week
Every instructor needs to have songs like this week’s favorite track in their library. Keep this one in your flat road folder and take it out when you are looking for a longer flat road to ride on. Though they’ve been around for quite a while, I’ve just recently found Nahko and Medicine for The People and their song Black as Night from their 2013 album Dark as Night. I
Please Join Our New Facebook Group – Celebrate Indoor Cycling

Do you have any marketing help for small Indoor Cycling studios?
Question from an ICI/PRO member: Comments: Hey John I just recently moved out of the box clubs (LA Fitness for one) I was working at and started classes at a small studio. I have never done any marketing work and wondered if you could help guide me. Do you have any materials I could use for local news papers or any other suggestions for me. I would really like to
ICI Podcast 264 Could the SoulCycle Class Action Lawsuit affect you as an Indoor Cycling Instructor?
Last week a SoulCycle Instructor filed a class action suit alleging he and other Instructors were not paid for the extra hours spent in class prep, meetings, marketing, promotion, etc… Does that sound like anyone you know? What’s proper or legal when it comes work requests, beyond actually teaching your classes, when you’re asked by management? I figured it would be helpful to get an understanding from someone who really understands the
Questions about Leasing Indoor Cycles and Studio Equipment?
I’ve been doing some consulting with potential cycling studio start-ups and a common question has been; should I consider leasing vs. conventional financing / paying cash? My feeling is (to use the expression) Cash Is King for any small fitness business. If you listen to any of the past interviews (you’ll find them here) I’ve done with Indoor Cycling Studio Owners, there are two common themes that keep coming up:
PRO Member Mike Porter and his Cadence Cycling Studio in the News.
It sounds like Spinning® studio owner Mike Porter is crushing it in Vancouver BC at Cadence Cycling Studio! Mike’s studio was visited by radio personality Margaret Gallagher from CBC Radio One. This is the month many folks vow to “get back into shape” after a season of indulgence. Cycling can be part of a healthier lifestyle. But the winter weather can be a deterrent for many when it comes to hopping
Favorite Track of The Week
There’s nothing like a good steady beat to get your legs spinning and these two songs will give you and your riders what they need when the going gets tough. Shawn Mendes recently released the Deluxe version of his album Illuminate and I revisited this tune as a climb at 62 RPM. It might also work great with accelerations or sprints on the chorus.
