Mark Dressel - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification Surrey, UK..." Course exceeded my expectations. Keep it up!
What was most valuable was dealing with real people! :-D Interaction was great and i felt like i had real support all the way through.
The course was well laid out, smart,and easy to follow. The online system was really stable and didn't have any down time which could have been annoying. I felt as though somebody was there all the time, and response time to queries was incredibly efficient. It's been a great learning and the mistakes I made along the way have been reinforcement of the thoroughness of your course. 5-Stars from me! A superb experience.
An extremely personable and professional support team made it an extra pleasure to complete."

Daniel Pullen - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification Sussex, UK..."Absolutely brilliant course with first class support. Really excellent.
I particularly liked the calm and gentle videos and spoken words. Very relaxing and helped me to learn with confidence.
A very well rounded, fast tracked knowledge base with first class support. Thank you very much for an enjoyable and informative learning experience."

Martin - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Denmark..."I am a road cyclist, I know how to ride and push myself hard I had been to "Spinning" indoor cycling classes before I did this course but found out they I had been doing many things incorrect.
While i was doing this course my road cycling improved my training became more focused and i found that because i was now doing things correct my results were also improving.
I think if you follow the course and understand why you are doing what your doing as an instructor this will be passed on to your students, good instructors that come from this course will get more and more people in there classes why? because there doing thing correct, people can have fun exercise at the same time.
Don't be putt off this course because your first language is not English. If your interested in this sport then you can learn and become a qualified instructor using Performance cycling why because its more than an online learning web site its real people who want you to become as good as they are. I think the people or person who started this site, started it because she was tired of poor instructors teaching things wrong. Yon notice this very early when you study here.
Nothing was more import and than the student understanding what he or she was learning.
I think all that run this online course try there hardest to make learning easy and fun. Thats a great thing because you also want to be as good as they are and I think will be after completing the course."

Edyta Lasak - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification Poland/Bahrain..."I am already a fitness instructor and the course helped me to refresh the general knowledge of physiology, anatomy, types of training and other necessary information essential for the fitness training.
It also helped me to understand the biomechanical aspects of the cycling training. I could correct my body alignment and focus on proper body movement when I was taking my classes.
The course taught me how to get ready for the cycling classes as a participant and how to prepare myself as an instructor. It also taught me what are the points I have to focus on as an instructor during the class.
I would like to thank you very much for all the support, the prompt responses to my emails and the wonderful course. I really enjoyed studying with You."

Nick - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification UK..."I found the course very enjoyable. The notes and videos covered everything that I needed to know. The course was presented in a way that was easy to follow and digest. I liked the fact that I was able to learn at my own pace and at a time that suited me. Thank you Debbie and the team!"

Rachel - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification UK.... "I took this course primarily to re qualify as a spinning instructor. I do not think it could be improved. Most valuable was going back to basics and re emphasising core skills"

Jo - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification UK (previously NSCR certified)... "It has re-affirmed my own knowledge and extended it way past what i had before so that i now feel fully confident in my own abilities as an indoor cycling instructor. it has taught me to look beyond what is written and to fully understand the implications of coaching clients."

Sophie - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification UK ..."In depth knowledge and a great starting point to my career in Indoor Cycling - Thank You :)
Most valuable was being able to study in my own time, gave me a chance to develop as an instructor and learn more over a longer period of time. I have previously attended 'intensive' courses and sometimes found that when I get back to the 'real world' it's more difficult to go staight into teaching."

Debbie MacDonald - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification California, USA ..." After researching several options of become an instructor, I felt that Performance Cycling provided the most detailed training. The course provided me with the knowledge and skills that I need to be an effective instructor as well as an education that I can apply to enhance my personal training and cycling skills. The most valuable aspect for me was the feedback and questions from Debbie. I felt Debbie was great at assuring that I didn't just learn the material, but that I understood it thoroughly and could apply it! I will recommend Performance cycling for anyone aspiring to be an instructor."

James - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Bristol, UK..."Great course...highly recommended...challenging and of huge value for anyone wishing to become a good quality and professional performance cycling instructor."

Gina Johnson - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Sydney, NSW Australia "I chose this on line training course, due to good recommendations by a colleague. I have completed many online courses, however this one was the most enjoyable. I learnt heaps and Debbie has it all covered in the notes and videos. I was so impressed. I couldn't find anything that I needed to know that wasn't covered in the course.
When I did need to clarify some of my answers Debbie was always there for me, on the phone or Skype assisting and explaining things. She was like an angel but so far away ( on the other side of the world) The best online tutor I could have had and am very grateful that I completed Performance Cycling level One, it has inpired me to develop myself further. Thank you Debbie and the Performance Team. I will be recommending it further in our Fitness Industry. "

Brandon McLaughlin - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification, Canada/Germany... "Thank you for a fantastic experience! The training and support I have recieved with the Performance Cycling Online course has made me a safe and effective instructor, and now I have a career that I can take with me anywhere my husband's job in the army takes us!
Thank you to Debbie and her team for all of the wonderful support and encouragement! I chose the online course as my husband is military, so I needed to be able to take the training with me, and the support offered as both a student and an instructor was very attractive as well. The feedback and communication with Debbie was brilliant, and I could not have asked for more support!"

Philippa Ealey-Newman - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Berkshire, UK..."I needed the freedom an online course provided, I didn't have to worry about travelling and expenses.I could refer back at any time to the course to clarify and ensure I understood and remebered what I had learnt.
I really enjoyed the online course and found the content very comprehensive and thorough, with this in mind it gives you the ability to really understand what indoor cycling is about and how to provide a safe and enjoyable class for the participants."

Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Nottinghamshire, UK..."As a working mother I did not have the time to attend live courses as they were quite a distance away and the cost would have been quite considerable when you take into consideration hotels, petrol etc. This was ideal for me as it meant I could do it as and when I could fit it in.
The course covers everything you could possibly need and the depth of it gives you so much confidence in moving forward to instructing. Being able to talk to Debbie and having her feedback and advice on everything was most valuable and the convenience of doing it online is an excellent idea which will suit the majority of people."

Steven Smith - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification Buckinghamshire, UK..."I was looking for a professional course, that encompassed all aspects of indoor performance cycling. While aware of the "Spinning" courses and brand, I felt that the online course with yourselves was a better route to go down after further research. Having now done it - Quite simply the best online indoor cycling course at any price."

Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Glasgow, UK..."I chose this distance learning course to fit in with family commitments. The training was expertly put together, easy to follow, and understand, with tutors also easily accessible. An excellent distance training course. The most valuable for me was completing the class programme and talking it through with Debbie ."

Kimberly - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Caliornia, USA..."I chose this course because it was on-line and the Perfomance Cycling Name is known for excellent training. All of it was excellent, however, Debbie went over and above what she needed to do to insure that I understood the content, which I liked . She was excellent in instructing and sharing information. I really enjoyed the Skype call."

Eva Wich - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Miami, USA..."I would highly recommend this course to those who are serious about becoming a dedicated cycling instructor. This course covers everything from safety to terrain to techmiques to music. The emphasis on safety is eye-opening and relevant. This course is for instructors who want to make a difference in the lives of their clients. Most valuable for me was the feedback which was very helpful and I felt that my tutor was truly interested in my progress."

Barbara Pinkerton - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Tulsa, USA..."Most valuable for me was the training manual on the riding techniques, a lot of good information especially the common problems. Debbie Kneale Ideal Performance Training provided me the necessary training I needed to feel confident in my ability to teach indoor cycling classes. The self-paced online training allowed me to complete the training on my schedule with a coach available to answer my questions. Debbie was great in coaching me in creating a safe, fun and challenging class plan. Thanks for all your help! I am excited to be a Performance Cycling Instructor."

Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Instructor Norfolk, UK..."I looked at several online causes for cycling classes but Performance Cycling seemed to be by far the most professional.
What impressed me was that students actually had to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the subject before receiving creditation as I was disappointed to see some sites willing to take money in return for qualificiations with not much knowledge demonstrated on the part of the student.
Despite completing this course on line, this was far from impersonal. Debbie's feedback was constructive and of great value. She was so supportive in ensuring that I understood the concept of a safe and effective class plan."

Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification Northumberland, UK..." We chose this course for the content covered as well as the ease of learning.
The most valuable was the quality of the content covered in the course and the reassurance that the work completed and submitted was fully looked at and help and feedback given was constructive and helpful.
This course covered in detail the safety required for indoor cycling and ensures that safe practice is taught and carried out in classes. The assessment procedure helps all the information sink in and the the back up is second to none."

Gemma Liddell - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification Northumberland, UK ..."This was chosen as It enabled me to do the course whilst still doing my Full Time Job, It was also a course where 3 of us from the same gym could do the course at the same time.
Most important was the reassurance that knowing should anything be done incorrectly, or if anything wasnt understood then I did have the fall back of debbie or a tutor contacting me to help and guide
This is a very informative, well presented course. The Online help and tutors knowledge is fantastic and they really encourage you to perform well."

Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Northumberland, UK..."Being able to do it in yor own time and re-visiting when necessary for the online learning was very helpful.
This course was very informative and the online learning was in a format that was easy to follow and understand. The support recieved was very good and the individual feedback/questions made what you learn stick in your mind."

Dawn Williams - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification 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 practical 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 - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification 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 - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification 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 - LPerformance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling Certification 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 - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling Certification 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 - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor Cycling 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."

Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling 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 - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling 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 - Performance Cycling Level 1 Indoor Cycling 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."

Gill Williams - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor 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."

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 - Performance Cycling Level 2 Indoor 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."

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 :)"
