Written By Emma Cole

Is indoor cycling a cult? Why is spinning so popular but also so divisive? Is there a difference between the two?

This week, Emma is joined by Melissa Power, indoor cycling instructor and founder of ⁠Cadence Indoor Cycling⁠ in North London. With 17+ years in the fitness industry, Melissa shares what it’s really like on the instructor’s podium, how indoor cycling differs from spin classes, and what it takes to build a thriving fitness community.

We also dive into:

  • The rise of indoor cycling and its cult-like following

  • What it takes to be an instructor, from the music, motivation, to the lights and vibe

  • Creating sustainable, inclusive fitness spaces, both online and offline

Melissa's passion for group exercise and indoor cycling is awesome, as is her insight into the evolving fitness industry.
