Spin Instructor Training workshop information page
May 11 to May 26, 2024
WHAT: This is for Rhythm Ride’s Spin Instructor Basic Training workshop (Stage 1). During these sessions you will learn the basics on how to conduct a spin class. Below are some of the topics we will review and discuss. These are straight-to-the-point sessions which will teach you the essential skills needed to work in today’s indoor cycling fitness industry. This will have a slight bias to the Rhythmic-style type of spin classes, but these principles can be applied to any type of indoor cycling class.
[NOTE: This workshop is not an audition to work at Rhythm Ride nor is this a guarantee that you will be hired as a spin instructor at any studio. This is for your own personal and career development. You will learn many useful skills (and much about yourself) to assist you on your fitness journey.]
WHEN: Instead of condensing a workshop into 2 days over a weekend, we took a more extended approach, in order for you to be able to absorb what you have learned during the sessions and practice them on your own time or while attending regular classes. Our sessions are scheduled for 6 sessions over 3 weekends. **
The workshop will commence on Saturday May 11th, with Saturday sessions to be from 1:00pm to 4:00pm and Sunday sessions from 1:30pm to 3:30pm at the Rhythm Ride studio. See the calendar below for scheduled training dates.
** We understand that there may be a day or two that you might not be able to attend, due to important commitments that you cannot reschedule. There is a possibility to set up some time during the week for "catch up time" for those that may have missed a session. We will have to discuss as a group when we will have these sessions based on everyone’s availability.
WHO: Your lead trainer will be Ray R., the owner/instructor of Rhythm Ride, along with some support and guest talks from his other instructors. There will be a mix of lecture style learning along with on-bike riding to apply the principles that we have learned.
This workshop is open to all skill-levels… new to the spin world, spin class enthusiasts, experienced spin instructors, road or mountain cyclists, group fitness instructors from other sports/activities, etc. If you want to be a spin instructor one day or if you just want a deeper understanding of what goes on in a class… this workshop is for you! There are a very limited number of spots available for this round as we want to ensure we give enough attention and practice time to each participant.
COST: $500 + GST. We wanted to make this more affordable than most training programs out there, but we also realize that this is a huge time & energy commitment for our instructors with invaluable experience to share.
Your workshop fee also includes…
INCLUDES:
Instruction from our top staff at Rhythm Ride.
1 Month Pass of unlimited riding at any of our regularly scheduled classes. (You current Rhythm Ride passes or memberships will be paused during this workshop period.)
Free spin shoe rental & towel service.
Practice time at the studio outside of the workshop classes.
DEADLINE: The deadline for application is Tuesday, April 30th. We will let you know the status of your application by Saturday, May 4th. An email will be sent out to accepted applicants with a link to send payment. The workshop will commence on Saturday May 11th at 1:00pm at the Rhythm Ride studio.
First come, first served. So get your application in early to reserve your spot!
