Virtual Group Cycle Classes
We run our Virtual Group Cycle classes when members ask for them and it's super simple to get a class running for you!Just ask at Reception if we can put one on, it takes 2 minutes to set up!
You can ask for a 30 minute class or a 45 minute class
We have two types of Virtual classes -
- Scenery classes where your taken to different parts of the world climbing mountains, on flat roads through mix terrain and flat desert scenes.
- Coach Ride where a Virtual Instructor is on the screen coaching you through a class
So just ask at Reception and your class will be set-up for you. This can be done when the 'live' Group Cycle classes are not running so please check the timetable to see when these are scheduled.

Coach by Colour
Experience a New Era in Indoor Cycling
with Club Kingswood
Coach by Colour
Only few people have sufficient knowledge of watts and heart rate based training. For the majority, it is only an additional number on the display, making training even more complicated. ICG's answer is not only to illustrate training in numbers, but working with colour to guide us.Colour is universal. Red means "hot" and blue means "cool" in just about every culture. The colours behind the unique Coach By Colour® concept makes it easier and fun to interpret the numbers and integrate it in your training.
The Coach By Colour® training guide, provides individual training intensity based on watts or heart rate performance in 5 Coloured training zones (white, blue, green, yellow and red) displayed through the WattRate® computer, based on the individual FTP value, respectively the maximum heart rate value. Ensuring that power and heart rate based training, are easily and quickly applicable for pros and beginners whether training alone or in a group.
ICG® TRAINING APP
The ICG® Training App provides digital Coach by Colour® workouts, developed by the ICG® Master Trainers who guarantee a high quality and motivating training guide.Depending on the training aim, different workouts can be selected or even created. Colour match - during the workout, the Colour on the WattRate® computer must be matched with the workout displayed on your phone. Via Bluetooth it is now possible to load personal data from the ICG® Training App on to the WattRate® computer as well as saving and storing data of individual workouts.

Indoor Cycling Fascination
Anyone can ride a bike - regardless of age, weight or individual fitness level. With Indoor Cycling, workload is controlled through the individual resistance level being applied, therefore everyone can train according to their own fitness level and pace. Indoor Cycling is the ideal cardio training, hardly any other sport burns as many calories as a good session on a bike.Not only will all those calories melt way, many muscle groups get simultaneously trained; thighs, glutes, abdominal and also arm muscles. Moreover, Indoor Cycling is significantly joint-friendly in comparison to other endurance sports, meaning less stress on the knees and hips are exerted.
Indoor Cycling is more than just cycling. Experienced trainers define goals with training zones, motivational music and a contagious group dynamic that quickly creates enthusiasm and fun in every session - an Indoor Cycling class keeps you motivated making you fitter. Faster.
Getting Prepared
Getting prepared for your ultimate cycling experience class:- Bring a towel and enough to drink.
- Use footwear with a hard sole - the best option would be to wear cycling shoes with an SPD system.
- Wear tight shorts or cycling shorts (with seat cushion).
- Ideally use a chest belt heart rate monitor.
Indoor Cycling Benefits
THE FIGURE
Toning and defining leg and gluteal muscles plus rapid weight loss due to high calorie consumption.
THE HEART / CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Improved circulation and oxygen supply to the heart.
Reduction or stabilization of blood pressure.
THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
Improve endurance performance. Stabilization of joints, equalizing muscular imbalances, increase bone density and prevent wear and tear, such as osteoporosis.
Power Training
As heart rate is influenced by different factors (among others nutrition, health, daily current bodily condition), the competitive sports training field have oriented themselves to a power-based training (measurings in watts). Even in Indoor Cycling, power training has become increasingly important, for this reason the new Life Fitness Powered By ICG® Indoor Cycles both measure and display wattage ratings on the WattRate® computer during a power training session.One of the key values for power-based training is the Functional Threshold Power (FTP). FTP is the maximal power output that can be sustained for the duration of one hour, the classic time trial. The higher the FTP is, the stronger the athlete, with workouts recorded as a percentage of FTP. Moreover, the value is also used to determine the individual Coach by Colour® training zones making your workouts more individualised to your own fitness level. No more wasting time or trying to keep up with your trainer - your workouts just got personal.
Functional Threshold Power
The Life Fitness Powered By ICG® Indoor Cycle in your studio offers the possibility to determine your own FTP value with the WattRate® computer by doing an 'FTP Test'. The FTP Test is used to help measure a user's fitness level and establish their 5 Coach By Colour® training zones. This allows every individual in a class to train to their own fitness capabilities by using their unique FTP value.
HOW DOES THE FTP TEST WORK?
Every 4 minutes the WATTs target will increase 25 watts, all the rider has to do is "keep it green" for as long as they can.
The aim is to stay within the specified range for as long as possible (+/- deviation of the required value). Green indicates that the user is within the required range. If the screen turns red, the deviation from the target value is too high. At the end of the FTP test, the personal FTP value is determined.
