ICI Studio Partners

Become an ICI training venue

Give ICI reliable access to a suitable indoor cycling studio on agreed course dates, and your organisation can receive a partner training place when we run a qualifying public course there.

Course dates are agreed in advance and depend on demand. Becoming a partner doesn't guarantee a particular number of courses.
A useful exchange

Studio access for instructor training

We're not looking for commercial studio hire. We're looking for organisations that see value in an ongoing relationship with ICI.

Your organisation

Provides the studio

You make a suitable indoor cycling studio available to ICI on public course dates that we've agreed with you in advance.

We need a reliable training environment with working bikes and the practical facilities required to teach an instructor course.

ICI

Provides a partner place

When ICI runs a qualifying public course at your venue, your organisation can nominate one eligible person for the partner place.

One partner training place when an eligible ICI public course runs at your venue.

This gives partner organisations an opportunity to develop their instructor team as courses take place.

The venue

What makes a useful ICI training venue?

It doesn't need to be flashy. It does need to work well for practical instructor training.

A dedicated indoor cycling studio A suitable space in which a tutor can teach and learners can complete practical work.
Enough usable bikes The bikes need to be in good working order and suitable for an instructor training day.
Reliable agreed access If we advertise a course at your venue, we need to know that the studio will be available for the agreed training date.
A useful location We consider accessibility, population, transport and how the venue fits into the wider ICI course network.
A straightforward working relationship The most useful partnerships are with organisations that can make practical arrangements reliably when a date is agreed.
Who we'd like to hear from

From individual centres to larger operators

We're interested in good venues and good working relationships, whether that's at one site or across a larger organisation.

01 Leisure centres and trusts Particularly organisations that regularly recruit or develop group-exercise instructors.
02 Multi-site operators A relationship with several suitable sites could help both ICI and the operator develop training more widely.
03 Gym brands We're interested in talking to larger operators with established indoor cycling programmes.
04 Independent facilities A well-run independent studio in the right location can make an excellent ICI venue.
Hosting a course

What does the venue actually have to do?

We don't want hosting an ICI course to become another project for your team to manage.

ICI deals with the public course, learner bookings, course materials, teaching and assessment arrangements. The partner venue's main role is to make the agreed facilities available and ensure we can access them as arranged.

We'll confirm the practical details with you before a course is advertised.

You don't need to hand us your studio every month.
Course dates

Dates are agreed when they're needed

Becoming an ICI Studio Partner doesn't mean reserving a regular block of studio time for us. We contact the venue when we're looking at a potential course date and agree availability before anything is advertised.

Some locations may support courses more frequently than others. Demand, geography and the wider ICI schedule all affect how often we use a particular venue.

For that reason, we don't promise a particular number of courses or free training places each year.

The ICI network

Helping us take training to more places

A dependable venue can make a substantial difference to where we're able to offer face-to-face instructor training.

We consider each potential partner in the context of the wider training network. Sometimes an excellent studio may be too close to an existing venue; somewhere else may fill a particularly useful geographical gap.

If your location isn't one we're ready to use immediately, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be useful later.

Studio Partner interest

Tell us about your venue

We only need the basics at this stage. Tell us where you are, what kind of organisation you represent and a little about the indoor cycling studio.

We'll then be able to see whether the venue could fit into the ICI training network.

Register Studio Partner interest

This is an expression of interest, not a commitment to provide dates or a guarantee that ICI will run courses at the venue.

We won't advertise a course at your venue or treat you as an ICI Studio Partner until arrangements have been agreed with you.

Already have a team that needs training?

You don't need to become a Studio Partner to arrange a private ICI course for your staff.
