Ride And Shine: How To Become A Successful Indoor Cycling (Or Group Exercise) Instructor

Ride and Shine is a must-read handbook for any budding Indoor Cycling Instructor. Izabela Ruprik grew up in Poland and enjoyed cycling like most young people. When she moved to the United Kingdom in 2000 she discovered and became obsessed with Salsa dancing. Some years later Izabela qualified as a Level Three Personal Trainer and started attending Indoor Cycling classes led by a friend who suggested she train to become an instructor herself. In her own words, Izabela realised she had discovered her dream job. Eight years and over 2,500 classes later she decided to write this book to help other would-be instructors. Ride and Shine is a complete guide for anyone wishing to step onto Izabela’s pedals and become an Indoor Cycling Instructor, covering everything from what to wear, where to train, how to become qualified, and how to find work. While there is valuable technical information about the latest equipment and training methods, this is not a dry textbook. Ride and Shine shares Izabela’s life as an instructor, detailing both the highs and lows. It explains how to make classes beneficial for people with disabilities and special needs and how to handle cyclists with embarrassing problems.
