Testimonial: Ginny Dunhill

Ginny Dunhill, BCRPA Group Fitness, BCFIT Board Member, BCRPA Admin Team

"Though I have done indoor cycling courses in the past, I've always felt like an imposter instructor, never really feeling I had what it takes to teach a class. It wasn't until I did Rachel's training that I felt confident in my teaching abilities and ready to lead an indoor cycling class without a doubt in my mind. Rachel brings a wealth of experience, both in indoor cycling and in the fitness industry herself, and she weaves this knowledge throughout her teaching. Furthermore, she is accessible, fun, and genuinely wants her students to succeed. I believe a great instructor is one who cares about her industry as well as her students, and in preparing her students for their careers prepares them to help the industry become stronger and better. Rachel does just that. I recommend her course to anyone looking to further their indoor cycling capabilities, be they seasoned instructors or first-timers to the fitness industry. Thank you, Rachel!"

Loved Rachel’s indoor cycling course! She is an amazing educator and breaks the course down so it’s understandable but also provides opportunity to practice along with tools to create an energizing, fun class of my own. So happy I had the opportunity and I continue to learn from this amazing lady!

Christine Woodington

BCRPA Certified Group Fitness Leader, Richmond, BC, Canada

"I 100% highly recommend Rachel's workshops and courses. I recently completed her Indoor Cycling Certification. It was a jam-packed course that covered history, safety, coaching and planning. After completing the course, it gave me the confidence I needed to plan a well-thought-out and safe class. There were so many example drills, and tips, that I still refer back to the course materials on days when I need some inspiration, and I always find a golden nugget of knowledge that she taught us to get the creative juices flowing again."

Tania Sibley

BCRPA Group Fitness Leader, ICC Certified Cycling Instructor, Delta, BC

"What an awesome resource with a wealth of ideas and fundamental principles of spinning clearly explained. This is an invaluable tool for my teaching, having used many of the drills in this book already and received rave reviews from my participants. As a fitness professional, I cannot recommend this download enough for new/aspiring instructors to current instructors wanting to look for fresh new ideas."

Conner Sudbury

Gerry Greschner

"Great workshop with Rachel! Excellent explanation and demonstration of the different drills and fabulous playlist to go along with it. Highly recommend a workshop if you can or purchase the e-books with the music and drill suggestions an out0standing resource for instructors looking for new ideas"

Testimonial: Jennifer H, NY

Certified Spin Instructor, Fitness Trainer and Nutrition Coach

"The Art of Creating Indoor Cycling Drills & Playlists was a fabulous course. Rachel is truly dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable. She is, most importantly, a super fun leader! I absolutely loved the entire course. There was so much application material that went beyond a ‘level one' instructor certification course while providing a super energetic and safe place to experiment online. I absolutely loved the optional peer review of our recorded homework assignments. I enjoyed seeing the creativity and different teaching styles of my peers. I also now enjoy other music genres to use while instructing which is important. I made some great connections with people all over the world! We are going to continue staying in touch and build an even larger collaborative music library together. Rachel takes the grit of composing a ride and breaks it down into a pattern that you will be able to use, saving hours of time. I am excited to plan classes that are efficient, planned and purposeful which will keep my attendance and retention rates higher. Gift yourself this unique opportunity. You will not regret it, especially as a new instructor, or an instructor returning from a long hiatus to get your mojo back. Go for it!"

FAQ

  • Does the CEC's Apply to Other Organizations

    Our courses are approved in Canada with the BCRPA and the CFES. There are hundreds of organizations worldwide so we simply cannot keep up. People take our courses because the content prepares them for teaching and they feel confident to lead their own classes.

  • Are the LIVE Coaching Experiences Recorded

    Yes, we have a large international following and due to time zones, not everyone can always attend LIVE. But the sessions will be recorded and put into your dashboard. You are welcome to send your questions to Rachel ahead of time and she will answer them LIVE.

  • When I complete the course, am I certified to teach?

    Yes, just like all the other spinning/cycling organizations, this certificate states you have completed the requirements to lead a safe class. We recommend getting your own instructor insurance.

  • Do I need to re-certify after a period of time?

    No. But we do highly suggest always continuing your education and adding tools to your tool-box. This keeps our industry standards high.

  • Does the course provide insurance?

    No. You will need to have your own insurance provided by the BCRPA, Can Fit Pro, CFES, or other associations. We strongly recommend getting insurance prior to teaching. If you are confused about how to do this, give us a call, we are happy to help you or contact your local insurance agency and they can help you.
