The Ultimate Instructor Workshop (April 6-7, 2024)

*This is an in-person, 2-day workshop in Seattle, Washington*

Thank you so much for your interest in my cycle instructor training program! Cycling is my true passion and I am so excited to share it with you.  When I first started out in the cycling world 7 years ago, I was on the hunt for a training program for aspiring rhythm riding instructors.  The only thing I could find at the time was very dry and boring programs that were focused around number based performance riding.  There was nothing out there that taught you the knowledge of music, stage presences or how to structure a playlist.  So I have created my own!

I have designed a two-day training program that will cover every aspect of teaching not only cycling, but a group fitness class.  You do not need to have any experience to take this program, it will teach you everything you need to know. You will gain experience using a microphone, receive vocal coaching, training in cueing, leadership, ridership, choreography, playlist curation, music mapping and learn how to inspire people.

The training is broken down into two days where we will cover the 3 pillars of teaching cycling: mechanics, motivation and music.

Mechanics:
Knowledge of an indoor cycling bike and how each part works.  How to set up a bike for a rider and how the body responds to each setting.  Knowledge of muscles, proper riding technique, style and choreography.

Motivation:
A big part of group fitness classes is motivation, it’s one of the biggest reasons that people work out together instead of alone.  An inspirational instructor is able to talk to a room full of riders and make each one feel like they are being personally coached and spoken to. We will be breaking down that connection and how you can create it every single class.

Music:
Rhythm riding is based around music, so the biggest part of our training will be focused on music. How to count music, where to find it and how to put it into a playlist effectively with choreography.  Additionally you’ll learn how to count music, how to cue and how to blend it all together in the right places.

We will also be touching on:

• Fueling for your ride (nutrition and recovery)
• Safety
• Stage presence 
• Microphone etiquette
• Social media 
• Professionalism
• Body language 
• And so much more!  

What you will get from the training:
You will receive an instructor manual that you can take home with you.  You will leave with one 45-minute class mapped out ready to teach that we will perfect together. You will receive one-on one coaching and feedback on your cycling talent!  I am confident that after my training program, you will stand out above the competition for any cycle instructor position/audition!

What you will not get from the training:
A position instructing at City Cycle. I want to be very clear that this program is not a training to become an instructor at City Cycle.  You will be trained as a rhythm riding instructor.  Once you have finished the program, you are free to try out at any studio you desire. This program does not give you any formal certificate to teach group fitness, this is only for rhythm, riding under my own personal style.
