As the name of the training states, it is a basic training.
No prerequisites are required. All training is provided for new instructors who have never received any fitness training.
Our training is open to all: to future instructors wishing to acquire skills, professional recognition and legitimacy with their participants, but also to course participants wishing to better understand the inner workings of their passion or create a personalized training plan, for example.
The timetable for the basic training course (first course taken) is as follows:
Saturday: 08:30 to 18:00
Sunday: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
These times may vary slightly depending on the number of participants.
The basic training provided by the Belgian Indoor Cycling Academy is the ONLY Indoor Cycling instructor training course recognized by the world of Belgian professionals grouped under the Joint Commission CP 314 for fitness.
There are other training courses, but none of them are officially recognized by the Belgian fitness world.
If you’re already working in the fitness industry as a sports coach, we’ll refund part of the cost of the training.
We’ll take care of all the administrative formalities, free of charge.
In just one weekend, obtain your indoor cycling instructor certification after a practical and written test.
You will be trained on:
- Coaching,
- The adjustment of the bike,
- the techniques used in our teaching,
- Using heart rate
- The music

As our training is recognized by the CP 314, a written test is compulsory.
This written test consists of two parts:
- The first, an MCQ on the theoretical part of the course
- The second is the creation of a standard abacus taught during training.
All our congratulations for having already undertaken a certified teaching process.
To earn your CP 314 certification, simply sign up for an accelerated training course we call “Quick Training”. Your presence will only be mandatory on the second day of training (eg: Sunday). You will learn our vocabulary and participate in the practical test of candidates as well as the written test (Q.C.M.)
Certification is a mark of recognition for fitness center owners.
As employers, fitness center owners are subject to the contractual and salary conditions defined by CP 314.
When you are employed under JC 314, you can get your approved training costs reimbursed. The amount of this reimbursement is determined by CP 314.
By obtaining certification, you increase your credibility and competence as a fitness center owner.
This will enable you to establish a better employer-employee relationship by complying with the conditions and requirements of CP 314.
In addition, certification gives you access to professional development and continuing education opportunities.
You can participate in accredited training programs and improve your skills in various areas related to fitness center management.
