In 1995, indoor cycling was introduced to the fitness industry for group fitness. A team of group exercise
specialists and psychologists including biomechanics and sport psychologists developed indoor cycling as
an activity that is based on science, safety for the masses, analysis of body alignment, and conservative
exercise progression. Some programs focus on choreography while others focus on visualization. The
FiTOUR Indoor Cycling program focuses on both choreography and visualization as tools to achieve the
most efficient ride and obtain fitness results.
Indoor cycling continues to gain popularity as a great way to adhere to the commitment to stay in shape
and perfect cycling techniques.
