We wish we could bottle up and sell the excitement that comes with trying RealRyder for the first time! The smiling faces tell the story – check out these photos from the past weekend’s SCW Fitness MANIA in Philadelphia!
RealRyder is relatively new on the fitness block. Our history stems from the stationary bike – a rigid, locked-down pedaling machine. And its basic design still hasn’t changed much after twenty years. Enter the RealRyder® ABF8: you get a true sense of the road with its unique, articulating frame that allows it to steer, lean, and feel like an actual road bike.
We know how difficult it is to go back to your stationary bikes after you’ve tried RealRyder! That first time you try it and you feel yourself moving beyond pedaling; the steering, the leaning, the balancing, the mental involvement, and the emotional excitement. You’ll want to replicate that experience in all your indoor cycling classes!
Our mission is to share RealRyder with as many people as we can! Maybe we should put the bikes on a bus and tour this great nation, calling ourselves The RealRyder Rockstars! Or maybe we’ll just stick with what we’re good at – trade shows and fitness conventions, where we get to interact with rockin’ fitness professionals and club owners!
RealRyder will continue to be at great events all over the country this year! Check out some of the great events we’re participating in, like SCW Fitness’ Mania Conventions and the The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), just to name a few!
Have you recently tried RealRyder? Have you been teaching for a year? Or more? We would love to hear your experience or memories with RealRyder (the title of the post!). Please share your thoughts and stories!
Have you heard the buzz about our RealRyder® Indoor Cycling Certified Instructor Training Program? We could tell you about it, but we’d much rather you hear (and see!) a few words from our recent indoor cycling trainings.
2011 is a BIG year for RealRyder, as we roll out the education program, bringing a new level of excitement to indoor cycling with our bikes and instruction. We have over 20 trainings scheduled this year alone, in both the U.S. and internationally. Our Certified Instructor Training Program sets that stage for club owners and instructors to “lead the pack” with one of the hottest pieces of fitness equipment on the market!
The RealRyder Indoor Cycle Certified Instructor Training Program builds on the history of indoor cycling, using a teaching system that eliminates guess work, so that planning intelligent and creative workouts is easy. Join a pack of enthusiastic RealRyder ambassadors and become part of a new era of indoor cycling today!
Have you taken the training or are you participating in an upcoming training at one of our many locations? Please share your thoughts and/or what you’re hoping to learn from the RealRyder® Indoor Cycling Certified Instructor Training Program.

Tomorrow is an important day for fitness training in North Carolina! “HEAT” or Highly Effective Athletic Training to give them their full name, are opening their new fitness facility, including RealRyder Indoor Cycling in Raleigh.
HEAT is on the site of an old Creamery, but we will resist the temptation to make any jokes about RealRyder being the cream of indoor cycling! Instead we wanted to tell you a little bit about HEAT and the fitness classes they will be running.
Firstly, they are having their Open House tomorrow (Oct 15th) from 7pm to 10pm, so if you are in the downtown Raleigh, take a look and meet owner Robin Fitzgerald and the team. Check out the pictures of the transformation from a creamery to a fitness facility and indoor cycling studio! Robin has posted more great pictures on Facebook showing all the work involved.

Secondly, as their full name implies, HEAT are not just running indoor cycling classes. They will also be doing cardio interval training and strength conditioning.

On the fitness equipment front, HEAT also have treadmills and TRX, to really complement the full body workout you can get on the RealRyder stationary bikes.

Full details of the indoor cycling and all the other fitness classes are available on their website – just click the logo below.

We hope to see you in Toronto where you can experience the unique ride of our leaning stationary bike for yourself and see why it is creating such a buzz in the fitness equipment world!
Choosing the right fitness equipment for a good cardio workout can be daunting. There are so many choices of good fitness equipment on the market, that it can be difficult knowing where to start.
Two of the most popular choices are ellipticals and stationary bikes. Both are low impact and give you a great cardio workout and with the elliptical you are also working more muscle groups than with a traditional stationary bike. However, a RealRyder stationary bike will also work your upper body and core muscles, due to its articulating frame and ability to lean! I am not personally a big fan of treadmills as a choice of cardio fitness equipment, simply because it is easier (and more enjoyable?) to actually run! Running is not as affected by weather or darkness as say cycling.
Many manufacturers make two grades of fitness equipment, for commercial use or home gyms, but often the home fitness equipment is not as well built. Commercial fitness equipment is engineered to stand up to the heavy use it will get in a gym or fitness club, whereas the consumer versions often look like they have been built down to a price and are much less sturdy or durable.
We don’t take this approach at RealRyder, the stationary bike we sell for home use is indentical to the ones you will see in any RealRyder Indoor Cycling Studio. We don’t believe in making a cheaper piece of fitness equipment that will start to wear out quickly or feels less stable. We want you to have many years of happy training from your stationary bike, so we build fitness equipment which will last!
One last point is that whatever fitness equipment you choose should be enjoyable to use! You will only get good results if you train regularly and this may be one of the biggest advantages of our leaning stationary bike. It is a lot of fun to ride and much more stimulating than some other types of fitness equipment!
So if you are looking for great cardio fitness equipment, take a look at our stationary bike!
