The Why

The Origin is part one of our complete three-part education pathway.

It is an immersive three-day training designed for indoor cycling coaches who demand a higher standard. 

This is not another hyped choreography workshop.
This is education. 

Over three intensive days, we focus on the foundation behind what we do: understanding the why behind movement, refining coaching language, and building classes with a clear intention in mind. 

You’ll learn skills that allow you to make informed choices.
The goal is not performance, but to understand.
So you can apply what you learn in every class you teach.

What to Expect

Personalized small-group experience – limited spots, so you get focused guidance and attention

Education-first approach – build deep understanding, not just follow choreography

Active, balanced learning – ride, observe, practice, and discuss in every session

Hands-on feedback – refine your coaching in real time with supportive instructors

Safe space to grow – ask questions, make mistakes, and elevate your craft with confidence

What You’ll Learn

You’ll learn how to:

Analyze and coach fundamental movement patterns relevant to cycling

Recognize and correct common biomechanical errors

Translate theory into clear, effective cues

Build classes around intention, structure, and progression

Guide riders from “what’s going wrong” to “what needs to change”
