Why should you be excited about the 30-Day Brake Down? Here are the top five reasons why instructors should be excited about the 30-Day Brake Down:
Helps instructors to be "Monday Morning Ready." There are a variety of full day trainings available that claim to make instructors "Monday Morning Ready" after simply completing the training. It may be true that the information in a day of training is sufficient to prepare any instructor for teaching class. However, 9 hours of information is quite a bit of information. The 30-Day Brake Down helps to take the information presented in the full day training, and bring it slowly and intentionally into the cycle studio.
Develop Skills More Thoroughly. While 9 hours is a long time for learning, it is not nearly enough time to delve into the details for all of the topics covered. By revisiting topics over an extended period of time, the instructor is able to explore more thoroughly the various skills they acquire during the training.
Helps Member Satisfaction with the New Product. After an instructor goes through the 9 hour training, they come away filled with excitement about the power console. Members who are attending class, however, do not have 9 hours worth of background information and can feel overwhelmed if the instructor tries to bring all elements of the power console into the class immediately. The 30-Day Brake Down helps instructors to teach members over time and allow them to transition to the new device as well.
The 30-Day Brake Down offers unique programming. This is a huge value add and comes with the training FREE OF CHARGE. Instead of 9 hours worth of training, instructors receive closer to 20 hours of training for the same price!
More training, same price! As previously mentioned, there is no increase to the cost of the Instructor Essentials training. This is merely a value add to what was previously offered. The Stages Indoor Cycling team values the feedback of our customers and we heard requests for more information and help implementing the great tools already provided. The 30-Day Brake Down is the first part of our answer to this feedback!
More often than not, instructors using the FreeMotion® bike and power console have not had power consoles in their indoor cycling room before. When brand new bikes boasting gleaming power consoles suddenly arrive unexpectedly, it can be intimidating to introduce them to riders and incorporate them into class. After all, instructors are the voice of authority in a cycle class. How can anyone be the voice of authority unless they are fully equipped themselves to educate with this new tool? Even if an instructor has had experience with a power console, they may not have had resources available to use them well or to use them to their full potential. 
The simple solution to ensure that your bikes always have fresh working batteries is to implement a rechargeable battery change program. Rechargeable batteries last as long as regular batteries, save time by not needing to be repurchased, and they are also more environmentally friendly! We recommend that you purchase a full classroom set of batteries plus about 5-10 more sets, depending on how many bikes are in your space. Each month, change the batteries on 5-10 of your bikes even if they are not running low. By keeping this pattern, you will create a routine which prevents any bikes from running out of batteries or any bikes being "down" while you wait for the batteries to charge. You also avoid having to spend a large chunk of time replacing an entire room full of batteries at once. After a while, you will forget that the batteries ever run low!
These bikes are very similar to their S series chain drive system counterparts and are compatible with the FreeMotion Power Console, but with one key difference: the carbon fiber laced drive system. This is a brand new system, never before used on indoor cycling bikes! Here is a summary of the benefits of this amazing, new technology.
In our second layer we investigate the main ingredients for successful in-class goal setting. Goals come in many shapes, sizes and durations. This session will focus primarily on "micro-goals" for the instant win and the precursor to long-term success. If you missed layer 1, don't worry! Previous call recordings are available for purchase following the session.
