INSTRUCTOR STORIES
Real Instructors. Real Opportunities.
Hear from Top Ride instructors who have turned their passion for indoor cycling into confidence, community and regular teaching opportunities.
I Never Imagined I Could Teach One Myself
I had always loved attending Top Ride classes, but I never imagined I could teach one myself.
The online training was easy to follow and I could complete it in my own time around work and family commitments.
The assessment process was straightforward, and the feedback from my Master Trainer helped me improve quickly. Receiving my certification was a huge confidence boost.
Since becoming a Top Ride Instructor, I've been teaching regular classes at my local gym, improving my own fitness and earning extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy.
If you're passionate about indoor cycling and have ever thought about teaching, I'd highly recommend becoming a Top Ride Instructor.
My Classes Are Consistently Full
I've been teaching Top Ride for the past eight years, and it's a program I still genuinely love teaching today.
Every three months we receive brand-new releases, which keeps my classes fresh and keeps members excited.
I love that I don't have to spend hours designing my own cycling classes. The programming is already professionally created, allowing me to focus on coaching and delivering an amazing experience.
I currently teach four Top Ride classes each week across different gyms, and my classes are consistently full and often have waiting lists.
If you're considering becoming a Top Ride Instructor, I would highly recommend it.
