Dawn Williams - Level 2 Instructor Durham, UK ..."The course content was fantastic and
easy to follow and covered much more than I expected.
Throughout the whole of the Performance Cycling Course I felt in safe, reassuring, professional and kind hands.
No question was regarded as stupid or uneccessary. The course content was brilliant and well presented and the support
given by Debbie Kneale the course tutor is second to none.
The fact I could do it at my own pace and not have to take it all in in a couple of days or as some courses do in one day
was a bonus for me.
I did wonder never having done a course online how the practicle assessment would be done but that was handle with your
usual professionalism and with all the helpful pointers was a lot easier to manage than I expected.
I would recommend this course to anyone young or old the Performance Cycling Online Course is the best thing
I have ever done!
I am proud to say I am now a Performance Cycling Instructor."
Lisa Welsh - Level 1 Instructor Inverness, UK ..."It is an extremely worthwhile course.
You will learn more than you thought possible and have a thorough understanding of how to build a class plan.
You will understance what you are trying to acheive and how to go about creating a class to do this.
I found this course a lot harder than I thought it would be, but beacuse of this i feel I have gained much more of
an understanding of how to be safe and set up a class appropriately.
Most valuable for me I think was learning
about the RPM and what each "zone" represents and also how to match the music to that.
It has also made me realise the mistakes some Instructors are making and therefore how a good class should be taught.
Debbie gave fantastic feedback and was so helpful at all times.
Thanks for everything, so helpful, really really enjoyed it."
Nigel Crennell - Level 1 Instructor Saudi Arabia ..."The ability to do the training at my own pace and at the times that suited me without the need for travel - fantastic. Living and working overseas in Saudi Arabia meant this course was a fantastic opportunity to gain a qualification that would benefit myself and my colleagues. The location we are at has invested heavily in 20 bikes and the instructors that were on location have had to leave. This meant someone had to fill the void and iniially I didnt think any of us could do it as we couldnt get home to go on a course. Debbie's easily accessible guidance and wise words only served to enhance the whole online experience. I'd like to thank Debbie for her time, effort and understanding in helping me achieve the qualification in the timescales I set myself. A great course, I look forward to enhancing my knowledge with the level 2 content."
Carol Mitchell - Level 1 Instructor Alaska, USA ..."The content was clear and written in a way to understand. The video demonstrations were very helpful to be able to see correct technique and skills. The online support was very quick and I was valued in my concerns and questions. The most valuable part was the feedback and comments on my written class plan, because it made me really think about the class and what really would be the best options for particular skills and how to make sure that your music helps to keep the clients with the beat and on the correct RPM's. I feel like I can confidently teach a cycling class now."
Stephen Hawkins - Level 2 Instructor Surrey, UK ..."A great course, full of information. Presented clearly and well. The assesments feedback from Debbie was outstanding and shows the amount of time and effort she puts in to ensure this is the best Indoor cycling classes available. Excellent in all aspects - Thanks for your time and effort."
Nigel Cummings - Level 2 Instructor Armagh, Northern Ireland ... "I have some 15 years experience in the fitness industry, am a BASES Certified Exercise Practitioner and a REPs Level 4 Specialist Exercise Instructor. This course ranks among the very best i have completed. I thoroughly recommend it to all Exercise Professionals wishing to qualify in Group Indoor Cycling. For me the video and coaching framework checklist for cycling techniques were the most valuable. I don't feel the course could be improved in any way."
Level 1 Instructor Alberta, Canada ... "Easy to finish with a busy schedule. I do not think the course could be improved, it is very indepth and hands on even though it was on line."
Tina Bugos - Level 1 Instructor Illinois, USA ... "I felt the course was outstanding. It was very well organized from start to finish. I liked having a variety of learning modes (written/on line, hearing Debbie verbally and video tutorials) .
Especially helpful for me was having the course booklet (printed manual), as I am a more "old fashioned" learner, who likes to see things on paper. I was also able to take it with me for brief study sessions in the car, etc.
I can tell that the course is conducted by people who are positive, enthusiastic, and want their teachers and students in class to succeed. I was very glad to see such great attention given to safety.
I was also very impressed with the personal attention and the timely response of the staff. I don't know how anyone could finish this course and not be excited about teaching!
Thank you for your professionalism and dedication to fitness. I look forward to further discussions and to expanding my knowledge and skills when I begin teaching!"
Asha McNab - Level 1 Instructor California, USA ... "I'd never taken an online course before, and was unsure about what it would be like and whether it would be a valuable experience. Happily, Debbie's course was engaging, informative, and comprehensive. After taking this course, I feel ready to go out into the world and teach indoor cycling anywhere and to anyone. For me the most valuable was the class plan (on which Debbie patiently worked with me) because it helped to make me feel confident about walking into my first class as an instructor."
Rob Dale - Level 1 Instructor County Durham, UK ... "I would recommend this course as 'Excellent', for me the most valuable was the contact with the tutor. I think that the course is done by people that really care about quality of content."

Fiona Russell - Level 2 Instructor Scotland, UK ... "First time ive ever done any online training and I really enjoyed it. I felt well supported from the start to the final part of the course.
I felt that i went on a journey from thinking I was ok at teaching indoor cycling to actually feeling I learnt loads and was actually good at teaching it!
Its amazing now when I take part in a class that I used to think was really good how it is actually full of faults!!!!"
Jill Petterson - Level 2 Performance Cycling Instructor Kuwait ... "The online content was presented in a logical,clear and effective way.
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.
Even though it's an online course, it provides enough opportunity to apply everything practically in a real class situation.
I would definately reccommend this course to any person looking to become an instructor, but may not have access to doing it live."

The support I received by telephone, email and the online messaging system was most valuable as I felt that my questions were always answered pretty much immediately and Debbie was always positive and encouraging.
I felt that this course was succinct, told me everything I needed to know (and a bit more!) and has instilled me with confidence to be a successful infoor cycling instructor."
Ashlyn McMillan - Level 2 Instructor Carnoustie, Scotland UK ... " Enjoyed this course greatly. Had plenty friendly help, support and ecouragement all the way .
Most valuable for me was... Having someone to explain where I went wrong but also to be given the chance to amend the mistake first."
Gill Williams - Level 2 Performance Cycling Instructor Isle of Skye, UK ... "I have thoroughly enjoyed studying in this way. The website is easy to navigate with tremendous course content.
Living in quite a remote part of the UK I found that this was the perfect way to attain the qualification I needed but from the comfort of my own home and nearby facilities.
Support from Debbie was just an email or phone call away and she is just such a positive person that you feel inspired to really work hard at it.
The feedback given by Debbie was most valuable. She is obviously a professional in her field and so therefore her comments are well judged and fair. As a result I have learnt so much which I can now carry over to teaching in my classes."
Karen Beddows - Level 2 Instructor Carnoustie, Scotland UK ... "For me the most valuable was accessability to information and tutor support if required,can dip in and out of course at any time.
Very informative,easily accessible,great tutor support and just all round enjoyable. Take the plunge and give it a bash."

Ricky Newall - Level 2 Instructor Liverpool, UK ... "I found that the format of the course fantastic, the support I recieved was fantastic via email and a phone call from Debbie.
I have two disabled people to care for and being able to take this online course has given me something that I can focus
on for myself. I also know that completing the course is not the end of my development as a Performance Cycling Instructor but just the begining, Debbie has provided the tools for that.
At 50 years old it has given me a new lease of life. I highly recommend this course."
Level 2 Instructor Surrey ... "It was a very thorough course. Ive heard so many stories of people doing strange routines on the bikes that it was great to feel comfortable that I would how how to put together a safe programme for my clients with the coaching points and things to look out for. The course covered beginners aswell as the more advanced routines for more capable people. I also found that doing a real course plan and having to do the 'live video' useful in getting myself mentally ready to do a real class."
Lorraine Buckley - Level 2 Performance Cycling Instructor Kansas, USA ... "I have been taking numerous indoor cycling classes consistently for about 10 years with a variety of instructors. I thought I was very knowledgeable with indoor cycling, but I did not realize just how much I did not know.
I enjoyed taking classes, but not until I took the course did I realize that my previous instuctors were more concerned with delivering a class rather than making sure training was beneficial and safe. I basically learned several habits that were not beneficial and safe for my body.
Your emphasis on safety was impressive and raised my awareness in this critical facet of indoor cycling.
I NOW have the complete confidence to become a well rounded instructor who can deliver a safe and fun class through correct & effective techniques."
David Melling - Level 2 Instructor Wirral, UK ... "The online course was great for convience around my already busy work schedule. The course content and support was excellent and would recommend anyone wanting to become a spinning instructor to check out the IPT Indoor Cycling :)
The content was great. Riding techniques were most valuable, I found classes that go on in gyms now dont follow the technique for safe classes and i will emphasise on good form throughout my classes."
Jeannie Low - Level 2 Performance Cycling Instructor Pembrokeshire, Wales - UK ... "I would strongly recommend the Performance Cycling Online Instructor Course to all who are considering taking an indoor cycling qualification.
The content is clear and concise in both printed and video format. The Tutor follow up to any queries or questions speedy and informative. The online structure of the course makes it very easy to work with, even for technophobes like me. You really can't go wrong!
I found the whole experience stimulating and encouraging thoughout and anyone willing to put in the time and effort
will achieve success and the confidence they are teaching a safe and effective class with a 1st Class Qualification.
I can't thank my Tutor enough for her time, patience and sharing her vast knowledge with me :)"
Darren Maironis - Level 2 Instructor Manchester, UK ..."This online training course is an excellent way of completing the qualification without having to travel far and give up any income by attending a full weekend practical.
I believe that the support and feedback is just as good as it would be if student and tutor were face to face.
Excellent feedback and very prompt replies regarding any queries allowed me to qualify in the shortest time possible."
