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!"

"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!"

Q & A's Over Here!
Got a Question? Let's see if the answer is below!
-
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is perfect for newly certified indoor cycling instructors who want to bridge the gap between certification and real-world application. But also perfect for those who are returning to teaching after a break.
-
Can I participate in the workshop if I’m an experienced instructor?
Absolutely! While the workshop is designed to bridge the gap for newly certified instructors, experienced instructors will find value in the advanced modules, interactive drills, and innovative approaches to music and cueing. It’s an opportunity to refresh and elevate your teaching skills.
-
What if I can’t attend one of the live sessions?
No worries! All live sessions will be recorded and made available for you to access at your convenience. You won’t miss out on any content, and you can revisit the sessions anytime you need a refresher.
-
Will there be any assignments or homework?
Yes, but only for your benefit. The practical assignments designed to help you apply what you learn in real-time but they are not being graded. These include creating playlists, developing drills, and practicing cueing techniques. The goal is to ensure you walk away with tangible skills you can immediately use in your classes.
-
How do I access the course materials and recordings?
Once you register, you’ll receive a login to our online learning platform where all course materials, live session links, and recordings will be available. You’ll have lifetime access to all content, so you can learn at your own pace.
-
Is there any ongoing support after the workshop?
Yes! Once you register for the workshop, you’ll be invited to join a private online community where you can connect with other instructors, share ideas, and receive ongoing support. Plus, we’ll periodically send out updates, new drills, and playlist ideas to keep your teaching fresh and inspired.
-
What equipment do I need to participate in the live sessions?
You’ll need a stable internet connection, a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a comfortable space to learn from. It’s also helpful to have a good set of speakers or headphones for the music-focused sessions.
-
Do I need a Bike to Participate? Quick Answer - No
No, this course is all online, however, there are lots of recordings of drills where you can ride-a-long and learn. Throughout the workshop, it will be helpful to have access to a studio where you can practice what you have learned, but you do not need a bike for the workshop as this is in the classroom learning.
-
Can I earn CECs if I’m certified with a different organization?
We are accredited with several major fitness certification organizations. If you’re certified with an organization that’s not listed, we recommend contacting them directly to confirm if they’ll accept the CECs from this course. We are happy to provide our submissions form that we use with our governing bodies; the BCRPA and CFES (from British Columbia Canada). We are an international community with instructors who join the workshops from all over the world so it is simply impossible for us to register and would cause us to keep our prices for the workshops much higher. We cannot guarantee your CEC's will be received. You do receive a certificate that you can submit once the course is completed.

Breanna Graham
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!

Rachel’s course resources are extensive and really help anyone interested in teaching fabulous spin classes."

Christine Woodington
"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
"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
“I loved Rachel’s Indoor Cycling Certification Course. I heard about her from references at my local gym and participating in her class was a great experience hands down. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Awesome teacher!”
Gerry Greschner
