About your Trainer - DEBBIE KNEALE
Hi, I'm Debbie!
How did I get into the fitness industry?
"I was told at 22, that I could be in a wheelchair by 30, due to a degenerative, spinal condition.
A huge shock to a (then) young girl who loved to run and dance and play!
However, I think of that prognosis now as a gift, because it was a pivotal moment in my life - It kick started my fitness journey!
I studied and learned many exercise and mindset tools in my initial mission to stop that prognosis coming true and the improvements those tools made to the quality of my life was incredible!
I was then inspired to share the ‘magic’ of the success and changes I achieved myself with others and so went on to study as a fitness instructor, sports therapy, massage and nutrition and going on to add NLP, hypnosis, EFT and many more to my ‘positive toolbox’.
I also trained as an assessor and tutor, so I could help more people by creating and teaching courses as well as classes and 1:1."
Why Indoor Cycling?
"I loved indoor cycling from my first ride and for many reasons, but
I soon recognised there was a real need for quality instructor training in this discipline.
I passionately believe in the importance of great training, and more importantly in helping instructors launch or progress careers which they love, so they can go on to help many more people improve their health and wellness too!
So, my mission to help raise standards and provide a high quality, high value, independent indoor cycling training for instructors began!
The rest, as they say is ‘history’
I have been honoured to present at all the top UK fitness conventions as well as teach abroad during my fitness journey, helping launch or progress the careers of fitness instructors in over 43 countries to date.
Over 20 years evolving the training and consistent 'Excellent' feedback from new and experienced instructors alike, still gives me a buzz and knowing that together, we are making a positive difference to the lives of so many people worldwide is priceless!
I look forward to welcoming you on board and helping you acheive your teaching goals!
PS Thankfully, still no wheelchair in sight 😊
Don't believe us, believe them

As a Physiotherapist specialising in Sports Injuries, I was very impressed with the attention to detail regarding pre class screening and safety checks on this course. The practicals also concentrated very heavily on correct positioning and postural alignment along with very sound advice about resistance..
I have been a keen cyclist for over 30 years and rate this course very highly.
Barry - UK
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.
If I did have any question, Debbie was always there for me.
I will be recommending it further in our Fitness Industry.
Gina - Australia
Having done spinning, ICG Coach by Color by Life Fitness, Soul Cycle, Flywheel, Swerve, local gyms, Cyclebar, Ryde NYC/DC I was a bit concerned there wouldn’t be much new for me to learn.
But that concern was absolutely overcome on doing it!
It was a great refresher to me, and I even picked up some great bike set up tips!
Great course for newbies as well as veteran instructors!

FAQ's
We offer 2 main certification levels - BOTH have a 100% recommendation rate from new and experienced instructors alike...
Essentials Plus is 1 day and Pro level is 2 days when run live. (Also available 100% online)
By design, 'Essentials Plus' remains the most thorough, specialist, entry level indoor cycling certification in the market.
Our 'Pro' level builds on that, with additional content, advanced terrains and teaching skills and our distinguished practical assessment which has launched or progressed the careers of many!
Essentials Plus Level
>> This includes everything you need, to confidently plan, create and teach a safe, effective indoor cycling class on any popular studio or 'Spinning' bike.
>> Essentials Plus is most popular with PT's, gym/ETM instructors and others who want to begin teaching indoor cycling and who want to certify, or recertify quickly, without compromising on quality.
>> More underpinning theory and additional content not found on other indoor cycling courses, gives you the edge in how to teach to protect your riders, bikes and yourself from injury and litigation, whilst improving health and wellbeing.
>> Your certificate is awarded on successful completion of a thorough written assessment covering all aspects.
>> Personal support and individual feedback direct from the course creator gives you confidence and security.
Pro Level Course
>> Pro level builds on the solid foundations provided by Essentials Plus.
>> It includes advanced moves and teaching skills and more teaching practice to ensure practical skills are honed.
>> Pro level is most popular with those who value the additional confidence of completing a thorough practical assessment, including new instructors and experienced instructors who want to progress their indoor cycling skills.
>> In the UK, our PRO level is also the ONLY original indoor cycling certificate accepted for freelance insurance for those without prior fitness qualifications. This is because of our history, content and assessment standards and is different to other indoor cycling courses where you need an existing L2 to begin.
>> Your Pro certificate is awarded on successful completion of our robust and thorough practical assessment. With the most thorough assessment criteria in the industry, we are proud to have over 95% pass rate on the day.

Pro level is available as an optional upgrade when you complete Essentials Plus
In short - Certification requirements vary worldwide, so it depends where you are.
Our Essentials Plus level is currently the top choice for instructors in the UK, US and globally.
Essentials Plus is ideal for instructors who want to add to existing skills and certify, or recertify quickly and conveniently without compromising on quality.
For those wanting a higher level, or in the UK and wanting to progress into teaching, our Pro level is recommended.
Due to the extended content, long history and assessment standards, our original, 'flagship' course, the 2 day Pro level has been uniquely accepted as a stand alone certificate for teaching indoor cycling in the UK since launch in 2001.
