Indoor Cycling

KSC / Coaching Services / Indoor Cycling

Indoor cycling is an all-seasons stationary bicycle-training method which yields significant fitness benefitswhile also providing cycling competitors a means to make performance gains in any conditions. Indoor cycling means a controlled environment—no traffic, stop lights, potholes, or the like. Proven to be a superior form of training, indoor cycling allows for complete workouts without interruption of intervals or tempo. In fact, many pro triathletes and cyclists rely on indoor cycling training year-round. The group setting of these multi-rider workouts fosters comradery, performance improvements, and an energetic atmosphere.

Athletes bring their own road or triathlon bike to pair with “smart trainers” or Computrainers. Custom-designed and coached workouts improve cycling fitness, endurance, and power. With the smart-trainer technology providing a host of real-time metrics and training data, these workouts consist of simulated courses from all over the world and/or FTP-based interval workouts. Start with an FTP test to get a base assessment of your cycling fitness level, or just jump in and we can estimate your FTP on the fly! Join us for a ride and experience elite-level bike training!

Indoor Cycling Services

Regularly scheduled group rides are available throughout the week at Fit Cleveland in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood. It’s easy to sign up for a ride. Just bring your bike and your a-game and leave the rest to Kevin and his qualified coaching team!

Group Ride Sign-up

Functional Threshold Power (FTP) describes the maximum power one can sustain in one hour. The assessment provides metrics for one’s endurance performance, measuring gains and informing training decisions.

Riding as hard as can be sustained for 20 minutes with subtle increases and decreases in effort throughout the test, the key is to begin at a pace that isn’t impossible to keep, but isn’t too easy either. From there, a rider must maintain a steady state and a balanced effort—not saving effort for final surge, as this can skew assessment accuracy.

It’s best to perform an FTP assessment at the start of a training season with recurrent retesting to measure improvements—at least every other training cycle. Get in touch to schedule yours.

Schedule FTP Assessment

Compete against yourself and others on familiar and tailor-made courses! By appointment and hosted periodically by KSC, time trials are a fun way to push riders to new personal bests.
