Over the last year I have been trying to take classes from many different instructors in many different facilities. I've been doing this to see what kind of profiles other instructors are using and what kind of music they are playing. Also, as a Master Educator for Stages Indoor Cycling, I want to see if our eduction is making it's way into these facilities and what we need to emphasize in our trainings.
When it comes to music I have found that most instructors are using mixes that you would hear in dance clubs. They are high energy with a strong beat. I like these mixes and they work well in most class, but sometimes I like to use Classic Rock songs that have real instruments with sing-a-long lyrics.
In this week's "Power of 3" mix I used some songs that bring me back to my childhood, riding in the car with my parents and hearing them sing along on the old AM radio.
- Take it Easy by Eagles
- American Pie by Don Mclean
- Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon

Dennis, playlists with songs like these are really good choices if the demographics of the class are a match. Most of my “younger” students have NEVER ridden in car and heard their parents sing to the radio because the volume in the earbuds to their iPods/MP3 players was too loud. Guess that’s why these songs are considered “classic rock” huh??
