Les Mills has announced a new partnership with indoor cycle manufacturer Stages that will see the launch of a new indoor cycling solution that is slated to ‘revolutionise’ the cardio workout experience.

Called the Les Mills Virtual Bike, the bike will feature built-in HD screens offering an on-demand catalogue of Les Mills content, including the popular Les Mills Sprint, The Trip and RPM classes.

The bike, which launched in the UK and US in October, is compatible with a number of fitness apps, allowing users to track their performance and personal metrics. Content will also be regularly updated, giving users more choice.

“The integrated bike and programming offered under the Les Mills Virtual Bike brand is a cutting-edge evolution in fitness equipment,” says Les Mills MD Phillip Mills. “It offers the flexibility, engagement and motivation that will genuinely appeal to members and keep them coming back for more.”

Fibodo helps PTs in business

Anthony Franklin

Former golf pro Anthony Franklin has launched a new booking management platform for PTs and sports coaches.

Offering real-time bookings, secure payments, personalised web pages and associated marketing channels, the platform, called Fibodo (Find it. Book it. Do it) is designed to take away the everyday hassles of running a business.

Backed by former JJB Sports CEO Tom Knight, Fibodo has a number of features that enables users to grow their business through social media, including a direct-link booking button in Facebook and real-time availability planner.

“Many people choose this profession because they’re passionate about people feeling fitter and healthier, but the day-to-day aspects of owning and running a business aren’t where they’re most skilled or experienced,” says Franklin.

“Fibodo is empowering PTs and coaches to achieve success,” he adds.

The company has also partnered with FitPro to develop Grow Your Coaching Business, a CIMSPA-accredited e-learning course, designed to equip users with the skills needed to run their businesses efficiently.
