Fitness equipment developer Star Trac has launched its first Spinpower Instructor Training course to provide certified spinning instructors, fitness professionals and enthusiasts with advanced education to understand the foundational principles of power.

The two-day course, teaches participants how to train and coach with power, use the Personal Spinning Threshold (PST) test to create individualised training zones and design profiles for power-based classes.

Instructors earn the official Spinpower Instructor certification after passing an online written and onsite practical assessment.

“The new Spinner Blade Ion bikes with power have no hiding place for the participant,” said Abby McEvoy, Wellness Manager of Achieve Lifestyle. “Their heart rate, rpm and power output is displayed to them throughout the class, and so far the member’s feedback we have received suggests that they are working much harder than before as they know when they are taking it easier.”
