Invitation
Monday, April 22nd
Our leadership team will select 2-4 applicants to invite to the Ignite Cycle Training Program.

Ignite Cycle Training Program
April 23-May 25
The Ignite Cycle Training Program is an intense course that will challenge you physically and mentally. ICTP requires a minimum of 10 in-studio hours each week as well as additional practice and work outside of the studio. All Instructors in training are required to attend the entire duration of every training session - any absences will result in dismissal from the program. Completion of the ICTP does not guarantee a spot on our Instructor team.
Trainings are tentatively scheduled for Monday and Wednesday evenings as well as Saturday mornings.

Going through the ICTP is a huge commitment - we expect excellence from all our Instructors, and that begins with our training program - it requires a lot of its participants, and will prepare you to become an outstanding Instructor…just like what you expect from your IC Instructors.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Experience
While no prior instructing experience is necessary, we require you’ve taken at least 50 Rides at Ignite prior to applications closing on April 16th. If you have not completed those Rides prior to that date, a bike will not be available for you in the April 18th audition.

Qualities
We value the diversity in personalities among all on our Instructor Team - we are better together because we all bring something unique to the table and to your experience as a Rider. There are, however, some qualities we all share and that we are looking for in auditions. Foremost among those is an ability to connect with others. A close second is a desire and ability to inspire those around them. Additionally, having the mindset they will do whatever it takes to get to where they want to be and having a strong internal locus of control sets our Instructors apart. And, of course, a love for Ignite and our community is everything.

The Audition
We want to see YOU. Choose songs that you love and that showcase your personality. Then bring YOUR best you!
