Virtual SPINPower® Instructor Certification

Description

Virtual Onsite courses allow small groups of participants to attend socially-distant onsite workshops with a Master Instructor who conducts the training virtually via livestream video. It's the best of both blended-learning worlds: you get digital course materials to access from anywhere on your own schedule, plus the benefit of a group setting for practical application on the bike.

SPINPower® Certification is a must for any indoor cycling instructor because teaching with power metrics and training zones is a game-changer when it comes to motivating, performance-oriented rides. With this course you will learn how to:

Confidently describe the benefits of power-based training to riders of all levels.
Explain why Spinner® bikes measure actual power and accurate, not estimated caloric expenditure.
Coach your riders to optimize their power and efficiency through bike setup, pedaling mechanics and riding technique.
Conduct ramp tests in class to help riders identify their Personal Spinning Threshold (PST).
Lead classes with new terminology and cues that will give your riders powerful results.
Create your own SPINPower® class profiles with effective templates to focus on strength, speed, stamina and power.
