What is CompuTrainer Indoor Cycling?

A CompuTrainer is a premier indoor bike trainer with a precision ergometer measuring power wattage, heart rate and cadence. It’s what professional and avid triathletes and cyclists use to train hard and increase their fitness while riding indoors on their own bike.

In our FFC CompuTrainer Studio, you’ll bring in your own bike (road or triathlon bikes preferred) and first test your cycling fitness in a group setting with up to 16 athletes to determine your “functional threshold power” (FTP). Each week thereafter you’ll get custom-tailored intensity workouts and virtual rides that will quickly improve your cycling fitness, endurance, and explosive power as you burn up to 1,000 calories per hour!

You can also experience simulated bike routes of any bike course in the world, including famous triathlon and Iron-distance events, or challenging climbs of the Tour De France. These training programs are a “must do” for anyone working towards a century bike ride, triathlon, or looking to improve their overall aerobic fitness while enjoying a fun group setting!

Avoid the crowded lake front bike path, turbulent Chicago weather, long drives to the suburbs and train with power at FFC!
