What you’ll be certified in.

Lights down, music up, a full room riding to your call. Indoor cycling instructors get paid to run the most energetic hour in the gym, and every rider in that room has just watched them coach.

Our course gets you certified to take the bike at the front of the studio, so every class you teach pays you and puts your coaching in front of people who’ll want more of it.

You’ll earn a certificate in Group Indoor Cycling. It covers planning and delivering indoor cycling classes, setting up bikes safely, riding positions and pedal technique, structuring a class with music and changes of intensity, and coaching, correcting and motivating your riders.

Your certificate is issued by TRAINFITNESS.

CIMSPA recognises this course as continuing professional development. CIMSPA is the chartered professional body for UK sport and physical activity, and they’ve awarded us their highest provider rating: ‘Enhancing’.

You’ll need to hold a Level 2 fitness instructing qualification. The practical elements are hands-on.

You’ll upload your portfolio. How and where you complete your practical depends on how you study — see Two ways to get certified.

TAIT, the first AI tutor in UK fitness education, is with you around the clock for course questions, admin and anything you want to go deeper on. Ask at 11pm on a Friday and you get an answer in seconds, not on Monday.

And when you want a person, you can reach your Success Coaches by phone, email or our Help Desk, Monday to Friday.

From people who did it.

★★★★★

“Having thoroughly researched how best to go about becoming a group indoor cycling instructor, and researching providers, I chose to complete my level 2 Gym Instructor and subsequent GIC Instructor courses with TRAINFITNESS. It is without doubt one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I found some of the on-line modules pretty tough although the quality of the material and the way in which they built your knowledge was excellent. It was tough mainly because I really didn’t know how much I didn’t know despite taking part in sport and fitness for most of my 59 and a half years! The in-person week was nothing short of brilliant. Ben and Katie both have an infectious love of fitness and of passing on their vast knowledge. The Group Indoor Cycling with Ben was equally brilliant, and I would highly recommend anybody considering a career in the fitness industry to choose training with TRAINFITNESS.”

“My experience with TRAINFITNESS was great, the whole day was smooth and ran to time. Our instructor fun energetic and made the day so much fun. Both myself and my colleagues that went for the indoor cycling had so much fun and have been using our experience well. We met some great people who we are friends with now and cousins be happier.Honestly all in all a very happy customer and would recommend for any course whether your new to the industry or already deep in.”
