Indoor Cycling Coach LT
Choose the routine type, choose the duration, choose a playlist of tunes...and then you're good to go. Indoor Cycling Coach will display the RPM at which you should be pedalling and the amount of resistance you should be using. Adjust the resistance level of your bike to the indicated degree of difficulty, and match your pedal speed with that of the on-screen wheel. Like a real indoor cycling class the instructions will change at set periods, to simulate the efforts required for, say, a gruelling up-hill climb, a thigh-burning sprint, or a simple, gentle warm-up.The routines contained within Indoor Cycling Coach are dynamically generated, dependent on the type and duration of the routine you select. These routines were designed by Simon Reynolds, who, through the benefits of indoor cycling combined with a carefully controlled diet guided by the LighterLife
* programme, shed 16 stone in 6 months. By practically halving his initial 33 stone body weight, Simon has become an ambassador for the world of indoor cycling, and Indoor Cycling Coach is his way of spreading the benefits to others.

NB. Certain devices (for example, the Samsung Galaxy S2 pre ICS) have a default media player app which does not create music playlists correctly. This is a known flaw in these devices, which will mean that these playlists will not be available within Indoor Cycling Coach. The accepted workaround is to download an alternative media player application (we recommend Winamp Free) and use that to create your playlists instead.

It is basic but a good workout. Throw in some medicine ball exercises afterwards and you have a complete home workout.
Just isn't great. Crashes on my phone, no variety really...just changes the speed every minute. The rpm indicator doesn't move smoothly so you really can't use it as a guide. Could be so much better. No time out of the saddle really either.
I've been using this app for months now and it still amazes me how versatile it stays. An hour spinning passes like 10 minutes on this great app, and the results are real.
I like the app layout and simplicity. However, it continually crashes about 15 minutes into the workout. This means you have to restart the workout. A bit annoying.
I've used this app for almost a year now. I've found that the 25 minute workout stops functioning at around 13 minutes. Update this app. PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP SO THAT IT DOES NOT STOP MID ROUTINE.
Just stops about 20 minutes into a 40 minute workout. Has done this twice. So I'm uninstalling.
Love this app. Works best if you have a separate cadence meter on your turbo. Great workout particularly the high gear standing sections. Made me definitely faster on my road bike up the hills.
It's okay for free but screws up if you pause it half way through a workout
Good idea but workouts keep stopping on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Have only managed to successfully run through a full workout once.
I've been looking for something like this. It gives you something to strive for, encouragement and a real workout. Nicely done.
I love it other than every time I do anything over a 20 minute workout, it freezes! But otherwise cool app.
Tried the 30 minute fitness workout, it stops working after 15 minutes. Three times... Galaxy s4. Commentary volume too low also.
Very barebones. Can't navigate away and back even when paused. No ability to adjust level of workout or choose anything but duration.
5 stars for simplicity and affordability. Thank you oOo
Really helped me with my work out.
OK app but I can`t hear what the lady says so its pointless having her say anything. Also the spinning wheel doesn't match the cadence displayed, I went by my bikes computer OK instead. Good workout though.
It could use three things. 1. Shorter cool down periods. Today it gave me a ten minute cool down on a 30 min workout. 2. Integration for other audio apps: pause for stitcher, etc. 3. Get rid of the auto pause when multitasking. Otherwise the best spinning app I've used.
Basic, but what more do you need? With the wifi off adverts will not come up and the app runs fluid. We know the main problem with turbo training is the soul destroying boredom that comes as an added extra, this app just keeps your mind awake and concentrating on your riding. My only issue is that this app may overestimate the fitness ability of most riders with its computer generated timing.
Good app but it is better to suggest speed in mph or kph rather than rpm. Change this and i will recommend to everyone.
Great app for using own spinning. Biggest complaint is you have to leave the program, you have to restart it. Should be able to run in background without automatically closing. Also voice is not able to be made louder. This would be helpful.
This worked fine on my old smartphone which is over 4 years old but I have the new moto X and it keeps crashing when I try using it. I love the app when it's working though so hopefully they fix it
The instructor is too quite when music is playing. Pause crashes the app. Only too workouts fitness and strength
Intro is OK, but when I press fitness or strength button it crashes.
Not able to even see what this app can do. Using a Nexus 4 on Kit Kat
Overall its a great spin trainer, would like a bigger position icon of the cyclist, the cadence wheel is great though and like the voice too. Just stick on some music and good to go.
This app is really a great little spin trainer. The only problem I have is with the ads. They slow down the animation that guides your cadence. Please offer a way to disable the ads or a premium version.
Samsung galaxy s3. I love the design of this app but it falls short on delivery. Only two workouts to choose from which can get boring if you use the app regularly. The voice of the coach is way too low and is a faint whisper when a playlist is used. The app ends the routine several minutes before the workout time is up. Give it an upgrade and i would give this app 4 or maybe 5 stars.
