WINTER MILES. SPRING SMILES. Your 2027 season starts NOW! 🚴

What if the work you put in over the next six weeks could help set you up for a stronger, fitter and more confident 2027?

The colder months aren't just about keeping the legs turning. They're an opportunity to build fitness, challenge yourself and lay the foundations for everything you want to achieve next year.

And we've got a plan to help you do exactly that. 💪

In Darren Lee's latest blog, we're exploring a simple six-week training progression using CicloZone's COL%, to help you train with purpose:

🔵 Weeks 1–2: Build the foundations
Find your rhythm, develop endurance and establish a solid base at 60–70% COL.

🟠 Weeks 3–4: Turn up the heat
Increase the challenge with more demanding intervals at 70–80% COL.

🔴 Weeks 5–6: Welcome to the pain cave
Push your limits with carefully structured higher-intensity sessions at 80–90% COL.

Then, with CicloZone's Adaptive FTP, reassess your performance and get ready to build on your progress.

Now, who's up for giving it a go? 👀
We'd love to see our CicloZone community get involved over the coming weeks. Set yourself a goal, follow the progression, share your rides and tell us how you're getting on!
You don't need to be an experienced cyclist or have a big event on the calendar. Just bring a little commitment, a willingness to challenge yourself and a reason to keep showing up.

Six weeks. Your bike. Your effort. Your progress.

Your class shouldn’t have to sound like everyone else’s. 🎶🚴

With Ciclo Beats, instructors can build their own unique playmixes from our library of Ciclo licensed music, then use the Ciclo Content Creator to build a class profile around it.

Choose your music.
Create your profile.
Build the ride you want to teach.

It gives instructors more creative control over the experience, while keeping the structure, performance data and personalised training that sits at the heart of CicloZone.

Because the music isn’t just playing in the background. It’s part of the ride.

Your class. Your mix. Your profile. Uniquely you.

Friday called. Your legs answered. 🚴

The end of the working week doesn’t have to mean the end of the training week.

Get on the bike, switch off from everything else and give yourself a ride with purpose.

With CicloZone, it’s not about chasing somebody else’s numbers. Your training zones are personal to you, giving you clear targets based on your own ability and real-time performance data to keep you on track.

Push when it’s time to push. Recover when it’s time to recover. And finish knowing the work you’ve done actually means something.

Because a strong ride isn’t about emptying the tank every time. It’s about training smarter, understanding your effort and making every session count.

Finish the week strong. Start the weekend even better. See you in the Zone!

New week. New ride. Same you, just a little more intentional. 🚴

Sunday night has a habit of becoming the moment we make all sorts of promises to ourselves about the week ahead.

Gym before work.
More movement.
More structure.
Definitely not pressing snooze three times on Monday morning…

So make it easier.

Choose the ride. Put it in the diary. Get on the bike.

With CicloZone, your training is built around your ability. Personalised power zones give you meaningful targets throughout the ride, while structured sessions take the guesswork out of what you should be doing next. And with Home Ride, that training can happen from home, when it actually fits into your day.

No comparing your numbers with the person next to you. No wondering if you’re working hard enough. Just clear guidance, your data and a ride with purpose.

Because a good week of training doesn’t need a dramatic Monday transformation.

Sometimes it just needs one ride to get things moving.

See you in the Zone.

PART TWO IS HERE. 👀

After Your Body Is Not Impressed by Your Good Intentions, Darren Lee is back with the second part of the conversation, and this time, he’s looking at what successful group exercise gets right.

Because a great workout doesn’t need to be relentlessly hard.

The most effective sessions find the balance between sustainable work, carefully controlled periods of genuine challenge and enough recovery to allow you to go again.

From BODYPUMP and HYROX to indoor cycling, Darren looks at how different training formats achieve that balance, and why indoor cycling offers a particularly controllable way to do it.

The group brings the energy.
The programme brings the intelligence.
And the intensity? That should be individual.

With personalised power-based cycling, riders of completely different abilities can train side by side while each works relative to their own capacity.

As Darren puts it:
“That is the real achievement of excellent group exercise. It makes individual overload possible within a shared experience.”

Part Two, Why Successful Group Exercise Gets the Balance Right, is live now.

Sunday ride. Your rules. 🚴

Some Sundays call for a hard session. Others are about getting the legs moving, clearing your head and banking a little time on the bike.

That’s the beauty of training at home.

No class timetable to make. No journey to the gym. No pressure to turn every ride into a personal best.

Just get on the bike, choose the session that suits you and ride.

CicloZone gives you structured sessions and personalised training zones based around your ability, so an easier day can stay easy, and when you’re ready to push, the challenge is there too.

Because good training isn’t about going harder every single time.
It’s about knowing what you need from the ride you’re doing today.

However you’re spending your Sunday, there’s always room for a ride.

CicloZone in action in Dublin 🇮🇪🚴

A brilliant session at Aura Fitness Lucan, with a full room of riders putting CicloZone through its paces.

This is exactly what indoor cycling should look like: different riders, different abilities, one shared experience, with everyone able to train at an intensity that’s meaningful to them.

With live performance data, personalised training zones and clear guidance on screen, riders can focus on their own effort while still getting all the energy and motivation of riding together as a group.

Because a great cycling class isn’t about everyone producing the same numbers. It’s about everyone getting the right workout FOR THEM.

Great to see CicloZone on the big screen and the room putting in the work at Aura Fitness Lucan. 👏

Your body is not impressed by your good intentions. 👀

Movement matters. Consistency matters. Zone 2 matters.

But if the goal is to actually become stronger, fitter or more powerful, there comes a point when simply repeating what your body can already do comfortably isn’t enough.

Progress requires a reason to adapt.

That doesn’t mean every workout should leave you exhausted. Far from it. Smart training combines plenty of comfortable movement with purposeful work and carefully prescribed moments of genuine challenge.

Zone 2 builds the foundation. Higher-intensity work provides another part of the stimulus. Progressive overload gives the body a reason to become more capable.

As Darren Lee puts it in his latest article:

“Comfort keeps the body active. Challenge teaches it to become more capable.”

It’s a brilliant read on progressive overload, Zone 2, intensity and why simply being active isn’t always the same as progressing.

And Darren isn’t finished with this one yet… Part Two is coming soon. 👀

There is an increasingly popular theory that the human body can be persuaded into transformation through encouragement, moderation and the […]
