Indoor Cycling Training

I've been teaching indoor cycling classes since 2010 at the Greater Pittsburgh YMCA and X Shadyside. I'm currently certified through Cycling Fusion. Classes range from 45 to 120 minutes and are taught on Keiser bikes. One of the things I love most about the classes I teach is that we often have beginners riding right alongside competitive cyclists - all workouts are adjustable to your individual fitness level and current goals. You won't find any "bike dancing" here; I design my rides to prepare you for cycling and triathlon season while keeping you engaged.

Additionally, I coach the winter training program for the Pittsburgh Major Taylor Cycling Club and have led indoor training sessions for the Pittsburgh Triathlon Club.

Here are a few of my most popular interval workouts (for more, see posts tagged "Indoor Cycling"):

  12. Riding bicycles is a great workout. Because bicycles were more environment-friendly than automobiles. I also interested in tattoos. But getting tattoos in early times was never pleasant. Now these days anyone can get it without pain. numb spray for tattoos helps me a lot. You can use it before getting a tattoo and in the middle of the tattoo session. This product is more helpful. click here

  16. This is evident in an element that’s Boob Dress Tape meant to lie flat but leaves a niche when laid on a flat floor. Micro-injection molding is another rising process that applies the mechanisms of injection molding at a microscopic scale. Developments in warfare technology, including aircraft, marine battleships, tanks, and other types of weaponry, consumed huge amounts of uncooked materials in the course of the course of the Second World War. The post-war industrial increase experienced by many developed Western nations coincided with skyrocketing demand for inexpensive materials that presumably be} used to mass-produce parts.
