Spinning Instructors: improve your business with TrainingPeaks

image Dirk Friel, TrainingPeaks co-founder and author of Workouts in a Binder for Indoor Cycling, was interviewed on the Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast about how spinning instructors can use TrainingPeaks to improve their business, increase their revenue, and retain more clients.

With TrainingPeaks online training and nutrition software, spinning instructors can maintain 24/7 contact with their clients, allowing them to provide feedback not only in class, but also whenever the client does a workout on their own and records data for the instructor to review. Clients can record data manually, or upload from one of over 80 compatible training devices to record heart rate, speed, cadence, power, and more.

In addition to reviewing workouts online, instructors can plan workouts online for their clients to follow in between spinning classes, adding an additional expert consulting service to the personal, face-to-face attention that they already offer. For only $49 a month, spinning instructors can provide this consulting service to an unlimited number of clients, greatly expanding their income potential.

TrainingPeaks also offers meal logging and planning functionality, complimenting the software's training functionality to give the client a complete picture of their overall fitness. As TrainingPeaks client accounts can be shared among different professionals, the spinning instructor could share the client with a nutritionist, as well as with other professionals such as sport psychologists and weight trainers, to provide a complete set of professional advice.
