  • Marking submissions for online students is continuing as usual. We retain our aim to mark submissions within two working days.
  • You are still able to contact your tutor by email during this time.
  • The Indoor Cycling Instructors' Handbook 2021 edition will be coming out soon. You can preorder your copy below.

Indoor Cycling Instructor training - start your career with ICI

Free hot chocolate and a great training course
We've added new dates for our 2 day instructor training course which is for you if you've no prevous fitness industry training but want to be a great indoor cycling instructor. And also if you like hot chocolate...
Sometimes you know what you want, and you don't want to jump through a bazillion hoops to get there. So if being an excellent indoor cycling instructor's what you want to do, then there's no reason not to just dive straight in and get trained.
Over two days you'll be trained over and above the standard of most existing instructors. You'll hit the ground running because we're training you to be excellent, not just to get boxes ticked, a piece of paper, and then to end up at your first class thinking "Hmm, now what do I do?" Nope. We support you - during the course and afterwards too.
And the hot chocolate? Yep, you can have as much as you like during the course (we call it 'brain food'...) and you'll be training in our comfortable teaching room and our high-tech studio. Yes, it's a weekend, but it's not going to feel like you've lost two days - you'll have fun, meet nice people, and you'll be astounded at the progress you make in just two days.
And that's just the start of it. There's more fun to come - and we'll support you to be the best you can be. Because we're nice like that. ;-)

Nico says it's 'world class'!

'World class' indoor cycling instructor courses from Indoor Cycling Institute

Picture
Nico says the Level 2 course is 'world class'. We've just finished the latest edition of this course - next one happens in December.
During the level 2 course you'll start from having no prevous fitness industry training, and by the end of two days, you'll have all you need to be an excellent indoor cycling instructor.
The course is relaxed and fun, you'll be in a small group so you've got the time and space to develop and won't be swamped by a large, impersonal class.
And you'll be studying on the most up to date course available. Guaranteed. We've run six course updates already this year.
Not only that, you'll have access to the latest tech, you'll learn how to get the best out of the bikes and studio where you'll be instructing (because all studios are different, so we'll take time to understand what you'll have), and you'll make some really interesting friends.
Next course? 7-8th December. We have very limited spaces (because they're masterclasses), and so we've only now got SEVEN masterclass places left for 2019. Once they're gone, they're gone (and we can't schedule any more this year, because: Christmas!)

TWO spaces left for our Level 2 course!

Two spaces left on our next indoor cycling instructor course

Picture
If you're wanting a great start as an indoor cycling instructor, and you have no previous fitness industry training - this is the instructor course for you. We have TWO spaces left on our November course, so now's a good time to book. This course is pretty unique in that it requires no previous training, but develops you very quickly into a higher quality instructor - it's the most comprehensive course on the market. And why's that important? Because you need the confidence that the course you do is up to date and will teach you what you need to know - not what was taught ten years ago. It's important because you need to keep your riders safe, and you can't do that if you've been taught outdated, obsolete moves. And it's important because we're raising the standard of indoor cycling EVERYWHERE - and we need more instructors, just like you, to take the gold standard back to where you are. 16-17th November. Are you in?

One day indoor cycling instructor course - join us on Saturday; this course will get you instructing the gold standard in indoor cycling AND, we promise not to hang around - you'll receive your certificate within 48 hours of passing the course.

We update it constantly so you have the confidence you're not learning obsolete moves, and outdated practices. Nope, you're getting the good stuff - and with space to learn. No sardines for you, no, you get a small group setting, you get personal support, and you get a unique course experience (well you should, if you're giving us your Saturday). Because we want you to #BeExcellent.

Knowledge you're probably not going to get from elsewhere

Indoor Cycling institute - indoor cycling knowledge you won't get elsewhere

Picture
Here's what a graduate of our July course had to say:
"I wanted to take 5 minutes just to send a Big Thank you for your support and encouragement on the course.
Indoor Cycling Institute has totally changed my outlook and confidence when it comes to teaching.... I had certainly been taught some bad techniques before and I can happily say there's not been a 'banned' move in sight since undertaking the course.
I feel so much more confident and capable and know I am delivering a safe class to happy participants.
The knowledge and experience you were able to share with us was outstanding and I don't we could have got that from anyone else.
I can't recommend ICI enough, I've told all my fellow instructors and recommend you to anyone who listens, if it wasnt the amazing teaching, it was the top class studio, top of the range equipment and the 2 days of getting to mix with other instructors.
thank you so much!!"


Time to put your staff (or yourself) through the safest, most comprehensive instructor courses on the market? Not only does ICI get 100% satisfaction rates, but also our graduates' most common comment is "I'm glad I didn't do my course with anyone else."

25th August - level 1 training: bookings open

13/8/2019

Bookings open for Level 1 indoor cycling instructor course

Picture
Get done and dusted, trained as indoor cycling in just one day. We're taking bookings for our course on 25th August.

Why should you choose to train with ICI?
We teach you best practice - and we also show you what NOT to do in your classes (some of which is still being taught on training courses elsewhere)
Your course is up to date. We are constantly updating our material - you won't be doing a course that hasn't changed for the last 8 years.
Small groups - you learn best when you have the space and time to ask questions; it's less threatening if you're not very confident, and it enables us to tailor the course to your needs. You want more practice time? You want more time to go over some advanced physiology? You want a longer break for elevenses because the complimentary breakfast is just too inviting? Well, that's just fine.
Our focus is not to give you a piece of paper at the end, our focus is to fire you up and enable you to become the best instructor you can be, so you can change lives and change the world where YOU are. It's only with our instructors that ICI is going to improve the standard of indoor cycling. The likelihood is, you're going to have to do a course somewhere - you might as well spend the time most constructively by doing the most comprehensive course, learn best practice, and become more competent and confident from day 1.
We stay in touch with you (in a non-stalky kind of way) - sometimes it's hard being the new instructor who knows more than many of the old-timers. We support you. We want you to succeed.
We have the lowest failure rate. This might seem bizarre, because we have the highest level required to pass at 80% compared with the industry standard of 50%. But we SUPPORT you to do well. You need extra help? More explanation? No prob. Why do we require 80% to pass? Because we think if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. Aim high. 50% is easy, but doesn't prepare you for the realities of instructing - 80% of our enhanced content means you're good. Really good. You're an asset to your gym, and you've got a valuable skill that can plug in at any venue. You're an expert.

Ready? Click below to get more details about our level 1 course on 25th August, and to book your place. We currently have only 4 spaces left:

One space left for indoor cycling instructor course 15th September

Last space for the Level 1 indoor cycling instructor course

one space left indoor cycling instructor training
We now have one space left for our level 1 indoor cycling instructor course on 15th September. Other dates are available here.
Why should you do your training with ICI?
Small groups - don't get lost in a crowd with courses that pack in as many as possible. Our groups are small enough to build confidence, ask questions, and be the best you can be.
Up to date - we're not running the same course as we have for the last 10 years. Our courses get updated every time they need to - which is usually every couple of months. You get the latest information, best practice, and advice on latest changes in the industry.
Expert - indoor cycling is our thing. We don't run a hundred different fitness courses because we stay exceptional.
It's not just a piece of paper -  we care that you become a great instructor - and we stay in touch with you afterwards and offer you free support. We aren't training you to achieve the minimum standard to get a certificate so you can be insured - we're training you to become an exceptional instructor. We are improving the quality of indoor cycling through our instructors.
Better content and peace of mind - No other training provider can compete with us on quality of the experience or on the content itself. We even show you how court cases (using real examples) against instructors could have been avoided had the instructor trained with us.
Enjoyable - It's not just a formality. This is a course to remember - and you'll have fun.
Higher standards - We have higher requirements to pass the course (because we think 50% doesn't make you a good instructors) and yet we have the lowest failure rate. Why? Because we support you to achieve more than you thought possible.
Proper fun - We have 100% satisfaction. No one has done an ICI course and said, "wow, that was expensive". You'll have fun, and you'll leave inspired. And you'll change the world. We can't wait.
