2. Talk to me, baby.
A great communicator knows how to
use their voice to inspire and motivate a
room. It is an indoor cycling instructor’s
job to clearly communicate the
objectives of the workout and coach the
riders through the work.
Try this: Encourage your participants
to work harder by having them
concentrate on something other than
the exercise they are doing. Visualisation
and imagery are great ways to guide and
motivate your participants. For example,
tell your class that they are in a race and
to visualise the riders ahead of them that
they have to pass. Or describe in great
detail the hill they are climbing and how
this stage of work should feel.
Communication is more than what you
say. Use your voice and body language
to connect with your class and create a
more powerful presence. Vary the tone,
volume, and speed of your words to
engage your riders. Use hand gestures
such as holding up the
number of seconds left on
your fingers, pointing to
individual riders while you
give them words of praise
or encouragement, and
reaching your arms wide to
fill and energise the room.
3. Pump me up!
No matter what you play
or say in your class, your
participants just want to
have fun! Have you ever
been to a party at which you’ve enjoyed
the company so much, you lost track of
the time? Make the time in your class fly
by with a ride that feels like an all-nighter!
Your students will return week after week
just for the entertainment.
Try this: Spread your energy around the
room and connect with participants by
getting off of the bike and walking or
running up and down the rows. While
you are on the floor, make eye contact
with the riders, ask individual riders a
question, or give out high-fives and fist
bumps as you move through the crowd.
Another way to liven up your classes is with
pre-answered questions. Set your riders up
by saying, ‘There is only one answer to this
question and that answer is, yes! Now, are
you ready to climb this hill with me?’ Try
