Get the most out of our Indoor Cycling classes with a free induction and FTP test

Thursday, January 20, 2022

We are offering a free Coach by Color Induction and FTP Ramp Test to help you get the most out of our Indoor Cycling classes!

Sunday 30 January 2022

Coach by Color Induction
0915 - 0945

The Coach by Color Induction will take you through the safe and correct bike set up, an explanation of the bike computer and its functions and an overview of our Coach by Color indoor cycling class.

FTP Ramp Test
1000 - 1045

The FTP RAMP test will give you an accurate score that you can then input into the Coach by Color® class to ensure your workout is as relevant to your fitness level as possible (please note, you DO NOT have to complete this to come to the Coach by Color® class but it is highly recommended).

The test is for all levels, from beginner to elite, and is simply a starting point which gives the rider something to measure their progress as their fitness improves.

FTP, in its simplest form, is a way of helping a rider understand their current level of fitness on a bike. During the FTP RAMP test, every four minutes the WATTs target will increase 25 watts, all you have to do is “KEEP IT GREEN” for as long as you can. Your FTP value and duration are displayed once you have successfully completed the test. The session will take anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes.

By completing the test, you will gain knowledge on:

  • Functional Threshold Power (FTP) test
  • Fitness ability and limits
  • The different Power Zones

This class is ideal for leading into the Coach By Color® Inductions.

These classes are free but advanced booking is essential as numbers are limited. You can book these anytime from Sunday 12 September.
