NETA’s new indoor group cycling certificate covers all of the basics of teaching cycling classes including getting started, setting up the room, managing a variety of situations (dealing with new and experienced participants, late arrivals, broken equipment, etc.). Participants learn the many body positions for a safe and challenging ride, contraindications, terminology, class formatting, music selection, cuing and more. A special section has been added to determine exercise intensity.
Participants in this workshop must have access capable of connecting to a Zoom meeting, to include a functioning webcam and mic. Access to an indoor group cycle is strongly recommended.

Upon completion of the workshop and the online examination, you will earn the NETA Specialty Certificate as a Group Cycling instructor.
