Welcome! I’m Rachel, and I created Indoor Cycling Teaching Ideas to take the stress out of class planning.

Inside, you’ll find pre-choreographed cycling drills with clear coaching cues, music that fits the intensity, and the purpose behind each drill—so you can teach with confidence and save your time for what matters.

Everything here was created by an instructor, for instructors. Whether you're new or just need fresh ideas, you're in the right place.

What Are the Cycling Drill Ebooks?

Created for Indoor Cycling Instructors to Save Time and Frustration Planning Classes

When I started teaching indoor cycling in the late '90s, there were no real resources. No community. Just hours spent trying to plan a class and hoping Turnstep or a weekend workshop would give me something new. It was frustrating, lonely, and exhausting—especially when you're just starting out and already overwhelmed trying to remember cues, safety, music, and class flow.

That’s exactly why I created these Cycling Drill Ebooks.

Each one includes ready-to-use, pre-choreographed drills mapped to specific songs—complete with gear suggestions, RPM, coaching cues, and purpose. Whether it’s a speed interval, a power hill, or an interactive group challenge, every drill is designed to help instructors walk into class with confidence.

And because I come from a kinesiology and coaching background, these drills don’t just look good on paper—they’re grounded in training science, so your riders leave stronger, not just sweatier.

Whether you’re new or seasoned, the ebooks save you hours of prep and spark ideas when you’re feeling stuck.

And there’s more: I’ve got something new coming—Monthly Playlist Drill Packs—so you never have to plan from scratch again.

NEW Indoor Cycling Class Planning, Solved.

Feeling stuck creating new drills? This month's pack gives you 15 drills, fully mapped to music, to make your next classes feel fresh, inspired, and fun to teach. Perfect for new instructors, studio owners, or anyone who wants to stop staring at a blank playlist

What Out Students Had to Say ...

"I loved Rachel’s Indoor Cycling Certification Course. I heard about her from references at my local gym and participating in her class was a great experience hands down. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Awesome teacher!"

Connor S, BCRPA Group Fitness & PT, ICC Certified Cycling Instructor, Vancouver BC

"Loved Rachel’s indoor cycling course! She is an amazing educator and breaks the course down so it’s understandable but also provides opportunity to practice along with tools to create an energizing, fun class of my own. So happy I had the opportunity and I continue to learn from this amazing lady!"

Breanna G, BCRPA Group Fitness Leader, ICC Certified Cycling Instructor, Cloverdale, BC

"By far, Rachel’s spin instructor course was one of the best courses I’ve ever taken because she makes so much valuable information and support available to her participants. Her knowledge and experience in spin instruction is vast, and she shares it in a relaxed, fun, and professional manner. Rachel’s course resources are extensive and really help anyone interested in teaching fabulous spin classes."

Deborah RamseyBCRPA Certified Personal Trainer, 3rd Age, Yogafitness Instructor

"Rachel is an energetic and very fun instructor. The seven-hour indoor cycling instructor course was never boring—even when we were on the bikes and our legs were so sore, we were still laughing. I learned lots of ideas, lots of information, and gained lots of confidence. I will strongly recommend Rachel's course to anyone, thank you, and I will always keep learning!!"

Tammy Y, BCRPA Certified Fitness Leader, Weight Training Instructor, Personal Trainer, Vancouver, BC, Canada

"I 100% highly recommend Rachel's workshops and courses. I recently completed her Indoor Cycling Certification. It was a jam-packed course that covered history, safety, coaching, and planning. After completing the course, it gave me the confidence I needed to plan a well-thought-out and safe class. There were so many example drills and tips that I still refer back to the course materials on days when I need some inspiration, and I always find a golden nugget of knowledge that she taught us to get the creative juices flowing again."

Christine Woodington

BCRPA Certified Group Fitness Leader, Richmond, BC, Canada

"Though I have done indoor cycling courses in the past, I've always felt like an imposter instructor. It wasn't until I did Rachel's training that I felt confident in my teaching abilities. She is accessible, fun, and genuinely wants her students to succeed. I believe a great instructor is one who cares about her industry as well as her students, and in preparing her students for their careers prepares them to help the industry become stronger and better. Rachel does just that. Thank you, Rachel!"

What Our Instructors Had to Say

I'm grateful for the Pump Up Your Ride ebooks, they have it all... timed drills, choreographed and fun games and the best part it's geared to all levels and abilities from the die hard spinners to participants who just want to have a fun workout . They have everything you need to create great classes with awesome music and my participants are never disappointed.

Tania S, BCRPA, ICC Certified

Absolutely love this book. Great drills and love that songs are suggested for each drill. Perfect resource for new instructors like myself and I am sure I will incorporate the ideas in my classes.  Have been looking forward to a second book as the first one was such a valuable tool a well.

Jody L, BCRPA Group Fitness Leader
