The most comprehensive indoor cycling instructor training for the new generation of elite instructors
The Indoor Cycling Institute is improving the standard of indoor cycling in the UK and Europe. ICI provides training for elite international fitness brands such as BodyBike and Globeracer. We provide entry-level training as well as supporting existing instructors to imrpve their practice even further. Likewise, we work with fitness venues to improve their standards in safety, effectiveness, customer service, profitabiity and member retention. Even our entry-level training brings instructors to a much higher standard than that currently required by the fitness industry. We see this as important due to wider societal changes - for example the increase in litigation (our courses directly tackle how to reduce risk of litigation) as well as the changing social demographic and how indoor cycing is uniquely placed to improve total health for the wider society.
Because our standards are much higher than industry standards, our training provides a far wider selection of modules than other specialist trainers, or training companies. This means the instructors we train are better ready to begin their careers than any trained elsewhere. We also provide post-course support so instructors can keep ahead as the industry develops.
We research and test out new ideas in our own public-facing cycling studio - not just within classes itself but also new marketing and management strategies. ICI is committed to an emphasis on making people feel welcome, exceeding expectations, ensuring added value and creating an enjoyable environment for learning and fitness. We help fitness venues to achieve this for themselves also.
