Performance Cycling, Spinning ® or RPM - which is best for me?
Performance Cycling, Spinning ®, RPM and all other indoor cycling courses are the same only in as much as all programs use special fixed wheel stationary bikes, created specifically for group studio cycling classes.
Spinning ® is a trade mark for the original indoor cycling concept, created by Johnny G amd now owned by Mad Dogg Athletics. RPM is the name of the Les Mills cycling program and Performance Cycling is the name of the Ideal Performance Training indoor cycling instructor course.
Neither Spinning ® or RPM hold any external accreditation from an awarding body - Performance Cycling carries the highest accreditation available for indoor cycling.
- Performance Cycling is an independent certification, so you can teach on any indoor cycling or Spinner ® bike once qualified.
- Performance Cycling is renowned for providing a strong health and safety focus, whilst offering more variety of moves than Spinning ®
- For quality assurance Level 2 Performance Cycling Instructors demonstrate both written and practical teaching competence to be awarded this certification. Level 1 is assessed via written assessment online and submission of a class plan so you know you can put a safe, effective class together as well as teach! Spinning ® instructors do not do a practical assessment or class plan.
- Performance Cycling offers support with choreography and music suggestions you can CHOOSE to use if wanted, plus gives you the freedom to be creative and develop your own choreography and music too. Whereas RPM instructors are only allowed to teach exactly the pre set choreography to music they must purchase from the company each quarter.
- Plus - Performance Cycling is the only indoor cycling training course able to provide you with a convenient, flexible and proven high quality, online learning option and...
- Performance Cycling is the only indoor cycling training course which gives you the added confidence and value of personal tutor support with a top, named expert - Debbie Kneale.
Jill Petterson - Level 2 Performance Cycling Instructor (Kuwait) says..."Tutor support was truely awesome! Very clear and detailed explanations were provided for even the smallest query I had, which made me feel valued and encouraged me to do better."
Sign up here now and start your Performance Cycling Instructor training journey - you'll be glad you did!
*Whilst it is recommended a prior exercise qualification to level 2 or above is held, because of the quality, content and long history of this course, those who successfully complete this training can gain insurance to teach indoor cycling with our Level 2 certificate alone, so essentially just the desire to become a studio/indoor cycling instructor is required!
Insurance has to be obtained in the country of residence, please contact insurers in your country, if outside the UK, for local cover information.
