Develop your indoor cycling studio
Practical training and specialist support for managing instructors, riders and the day-to-day operation of indoor cycling facilities.
Running an indoor cycling or fitness studio means balancing people, facilities, customers, finances, procedures and the quality of what happens on the studio floor.
You may be managing areas outside your own technical expertise, while still being responsible for making sensible decisions when something goes wrong.
ICI's management training is designed to give managers practical systems, clearer processes and specialist support where indoor cycling knowledge matters.

Fitness and Indoor Cycling Studio Manager
A broader management course for people running fitness and indoor cycling facilities.
The course looks beyond instructing itself to the systems, people and decisions involved in operating a studio successfully.
Explore the studio manager course →Develop your management knowledge
Use the course as structured development for a current manager, or to help somebody prepare for greater responsibility within a fitness or indoor cycling facility.
Know what to look for in an indoor cycling class
A manager can be very good at running a facility without being an indoor cycling specialist.
This free short course gives managers enough specialist understanding to observe indoor cycling sessions, recognise common safety and effectiveness issues, ask better questions and know when an instructor may need further support or development.
Monitoring indoor cycling instructor safety & effectiveness
A concise course for managers rather than instructors. It is designed to help you oversee the classes you are responsible for without turning you into an indoor cycling instructor.
Use it alongside ICI's practical observation and review tools for managers.
