Monday's I'm up at 4:30 to teach my 5:45am cycling class. Many mornings the last thing I want to do is eat something, although I know I probably should. My club has a lot of smart people so I asked our nutritionist, Tyler Young, her thoughts on what all us early spinners should be eating before, during and after our Indoor cycling classes...

This weeks ride is from me, Joey! - “In all honesty, I was dreading putting together this week’s ride. My classes have been after me to put together a few theme rides, which I almost never do. This weeks ride is focused on music from the 1970s. I am in the endurance working phase of my micro-periodization for my classes, so I had the profile already put together in my mind. I used one of my favorite endurance profiles, where we start with a higher cadence in the 100s and then work our way down to the 60s adding tension the entire way. The wildest thing happened, I had an amazing time. Once I started listening to the music I kept on thinking: “Oh, I remember and love that one” and it just kept on happening. I ended up with over 140 songs on my short list to choose from. It really made putting this class together fun. I hope that you enjoy riding it as much as I have.” Joey

This ride is from Gene Nacey!! - “This week’s episode of The Weekly Ride was an amazing pleasure for me; I was able to hear Gene Nacey deliver another ride. As an instructor, I find that I have very little time to get out an take classes that I am not delivering. But when I can break free for a class, it is a pleasure. Getting to take one of Gene’s classes is a rare treat as when we are together at a studio, we are usually working. This class was a mixed ride, and boy was it hard. As always, use your discretion when cueing intensity and tension. Gene delivered this ride using Keiser Bikes, so you will hear him refer to “gears” but you can certainly cue tension without the gears you need to. Remember, you can get the full PDF of the ride choreography, the Apple Music and Spotify playlists, and the downloadable file to put all of the cues into MyFitnessDJ, as well as the link to purchase the class for iClass Builder at indoorcycleinstructor.com. There is no other monthly service out there that does as much for you, the instructor. I hope you enjoy this ride as much as I enjoyed riding and recording it." Joey
Joey delivering an Explosive Strength ride for The Weekly Ride only on www.indoorcycleinstructor.com. This class is focused on explosive power with some seated and standing strength that is primarily used to pre-exhaust the legs for the explosive sections
This week’s episode was an amazing pleasure for me; I was able to take, and record, Gene Nacey delivering this weeks ride, which he authored. Remember, you can get the full PDF of the ride, Apple & Spotify playlists and more at indoorcycleinstructor.com.
Today’s episode is a recording of me delivering the July 16th Increasing Tension ride. I love doing the increasing tension rides as it is a great opportunity to work on both endurance and strength. I also like the increasing tension format because it teaches the riders to moderate their gears so that they can keep on adding tension up until the very end. We all know those riders that just set their tension at moderately heavy and stay there throughout the class.
I know that we have used most of their songs before at one point or another, but most have not been used in their current Heart Zone or for the purpose that I have them in this ride. Overall, I designed the ride to add tension, then increase the intensity through a higher cadence, then drop the cadence and add tension again. At the end there are two sprints which make a great finisher.
Remember, you can get the full PDF or the ride choreography, the Apple Music and Spotify playlists, and the downloadable file to put all of the cues into MyFitnessDJ, as well as the link to purchase the class for iClass Builder at indoorcycleinstructor.com. There is no other monthly service out there that does as much for you, the instructor.
I hope you enjoy this ride as much as I enjoyed riding and delivering it.

This was a fun ride to create. Please be sure to check out all of the ride details at indoorcycleinstructor.com. This is the first ride that I built in collaboration with Amy, who sometimes has very different musical taste than myself. The ride starts off calm, and then goes into a cadence reduction set to fatigue the legs. There is some solid and hard strength work in the middle and two very hard climbing sections at the end. Enjoy!
ICI/PRO Podcast host Joey Stabile talks with John Bogosian of Zingfit and Suhail Maqsood of the Wheel House in San Francisco about the importance of keeping your customers.

As promised, ICI/PRO members will enjoy hearing part 2 of my interview with Lawrence Biscontini where he describes the importance of a scripted transition, as part of "Scripted Starts and Flawless Finales".
Two Types of People Tabatas I created this ride to help riders see themselves as the second type of people: those who just do what needs to be done, and do it well. It is high-intensity training with two distinct blocks of work, the second of which consists of 2 sub-blocks. For that reason, this profile can easily be picked apart and used for classes that are formatted as 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Amy Smith and her Race Week Ride: "This is a race week. On this course I have less hills so we have to keep them on target in the saddle pushing to zone 4 with some high zone three's for them to catch a drink or two. As always allow them to ride their own ride /race .

It began as the dream of many Instructors – starting your own fitness business.

Do Indoor Cycling Classes really need to be 45-60 minutes – to provide the health and fitness benefits expected by our participants? Asked another way: If your studio offered classes that were shorter (say 30 minutes), while still just as effective as 3/4 or a full hour, could an “express class” attract people who feel time strapped?

We're a little less than a month away from the Day Light Savings time change – Sunday, November 6. I've always considered that the un-official start of the Indoor Cycling season; rolling the clock back an hour makes it easier to commit to that 5:30 am class and you're certainly not going to be riding after work… in the dark! So October can be a great time to polish up

I asked the other day; how's the quality of the air in your studio? I've been in my share of Indoor Cycling studios where, by the end of class, the air is so thick with humidity that you can no longer see yourself in the mirrors. The room stinks and every breath feels like you're riding at 10,000 feet – your lungs starving for oxygen. Are your experiences similar to mine?

Here's a creative exercise for you to try. Imagine that tomorrow you begin marketing your Indoor Cycling classes differently… Instead of focussing on physical benefits of increased strength, endurance or weight management/loss, what would happen if your marketing was directed at cerebral benefits instead? Do you feel you could possibly attract a new/unique group of participants? Maybe those people who aren't necessarily interested in physical improvements. Computer types (geeks) come
