Friday Sep 30th pre-convention programs:

Power Training Certifications can be applied to any brand of Indoor Cycle. It doesn’t matter if your studio has; Keiser, Schwinn, FreeMotion, CycleOps or the new Star Trac Blade Indoor bikes with power.

• 8 hour Heart Zones Power Training Certification
  0.8 ACE CECs
  Power bikes for Indoor Cycling have hit the market, and now the challenge is determining how we take advantage of these new tools.  Gene Nacey has teamed up with Sally Edwards of Heart Zones™ fame to create an 8 hour certification course to prepare Spinning® or Indoor Cycling instructors to be comfortable and confident incorporating power into their classes.  The first half of the course provide the educational foundation to build understanding and familiarity with Power training, as well as ways to introduce Power in class without intimidating riders unaccustomed to using tools on the bike.  The second half of the course focuses on how to teach with power; how to conduct power tests, designing power improvement training plans, exploring power profiles of outdoor riders, and writing class guidelines with power.  All students who pay and pre-register at least 1 week prior to the course will receive their 8 X 10 certification at the conclusion of the workshop.
  Registration Fee: $249 includes materials, 8-hour coursework, CEUs and
