This past Saturday I attended Dawn Stenis's Schwinn Cert course. It was a long day, but worth it. Interesting to learn about a slightly different 'system' of indoor cycling relative to Mad Dogg's Spinning. Overall the two are very similar, although I found that Mad Dogg goes into greater technical depths while Schwinn keeps things much more approachable. The Schwinn "Teaching Pyramid" is a good fundamental concept and I think it's an excellent way for instructors to focus on the core skills essential for becoming 'great'!
Dawn's in-class rides were terrific and I definitely kicked my own ass - having a believable, calibrated Watt meter by way of the M+Performance Console was super motivating. I wish all indoor cycling bikes had such consoles, and not just those at Shad Hall and MAC.
I look forward to implementing some of the new tid-bits I picked up from the training in my classes.
