The Indoor Cycling Association is the premier online site for education, motivation and inspiration for indoor cycling instructors. Founded by Jennifer Sage, with over 20 years experience educating and inspiring instructors (since 1996), ICA will take your teaching and coaching experience to the next level.
It has been my goal to assemble the most powerful group of instructors and master trainers to provide our members with the best advice available in the industry. When you look at our amazing contributors, the numbers are going to astound you. Between us, we have been formally educating instructors since the early 1990s. This is our combined impact we have had on the indoor cycling world:
- 140+ combined years of teaching Spinning® and indoor cycling classes
- 75+ years of certifying instructors and providing continuing education
- 50+ conferences as master presenters
- Over 15,000 instructors trained, including certifications, continuing ed workshops, master classes, and conferences
No other online educational resource comes anywhere close to that kind of impact on the training and education of indoor cycling instructors.
You will find that in addition to our focus on the science behind the cycling, we dive deeply into the coaching and the mental aspects of training. Mental training expert Dr. Haley Perlus adds her insight to this powerful combination of educators. To help with the music we have six instructors that are extremely passionate about their music and who are so excited to share it with you.
But none of that matters if your classes aren’t also fun. We teach you how to balance the fun with the science and the technique. What more could you want?
We have two PhDs who have contributed content, plus three former longtime master Spinning® instructors and two current master instructors from various programs, and almost every team member is an avid outdoor cyclist in addition to being a passionate indoor cycling coach. You can read more about our fabulous contributors and their varied and extensive backgrounds below.
In addition to these contributors, we constantly seek out the best of the best to be guest contributors, from all areas of fitness and from as many indoor cycling programs as possible. I know you will not be disappointed with the quality of the content here at the Indoor Cycling Association.

where is your headquarters out of?
I personally live in Colorado, but I have contributors, editors and assistants around the country, and even in other countries. It’s a global business .I don’t have a “storefront.”
Hi All.
ICA is a great source of reliable, exercise physiology -based rides. Thank you.
I have had several members on different occasions who are pregnant. Aside from the the normal considerations (doctor approval, postural changes, exertion rate) are there any specific guidelines as to bike set-up? (I realise that this may change as pregnancy progresses) Most of the information I’ve found is vague.
Thanks.
