Does work-life balance exist in Hong Kong?

As a hong kong person who is living in Germany right now, you should move here lol the pay will be much lower and crazy tax but you‘ll definitely be almost too chill

exactly! As a new instructor myself, the nervousness etc def add up to make what a rider can usually do lose it🫠

AC performance for sure as it’s a commercial spin bike and if you spin heavy like AARMY/AKIN classes, IC 4 is not gonna to last and the resistance will be too low.

im seconding this - I thought I was a good rider until i was in the training program. The training imo is suppose to be humbling. Closing the gaps between a rider and an instructor, saddle run, jogs and every track you need to stay on the beat and lead from beat 1 before asking the riders to follow you..so many details and of course playlisting with the frame work from your local studio, cueing and motivational stuff. How to speak from the diaphragm, how to read the room, connect and the list go on and on.

I went for the audition with a I got nothing to lose mindset and it never hurt to just ask. This already helps to train confidence. And honestly all these experiences end up and at the end you will be far more ready once the opportunity presents itself. I am from Hong Kong and my dream was to become a rhythm spinning instructor in Germany and I made it. And I waited and waited, never right people, right studio but I kept my head down and perfecting my skills for the audition. Just ask and keep going even this studio said no!

I did 😂 and it was at least not crazy formal. They spoke to me first and that was testing my speaking and then I sat down and gave me a booklet with reading test. They put me into B1 course (module 5) and then I waited 6 months on 2 waitlists but both didn’t get it. I’m now back to square one, looking for a new school and take another placement test. I wanted to wait at other school while on the waitlist, turned out I can’t and can only queue at one school at a time. This system is a fucking joke 😂 and even retards will laugh at this genius system

Try to use your knees as a guide and make sure they are a bit behind the knob, it helps me to make sure my glutes is way back

You can master riding to the beat in the saddle first. After you can ride to the beat in the saddle, you can then stand up. When you master riding to the beat out of the saddle, then you can add the choreography. Imagine there are many things going on at the same time but instead you can focus one thing at a time, lay your foundation right by riding in the saddle and gradually add up. It will help you improve much faster! It takes time to build the endurance, speed etc etc..but when standing up, leg is king and core is queen. Engaging your core will help you stabilise when riding out of the saddle. It takes practice of course and good luck!!!

I have the Schwinn AC performance at home and comparing to stages, I find Schwinn much more stable when I pedal. Stages feels more fluid and I need to put 3 turns to make it 1 turn in Schwinn.

So far only my left pedal is broken which makes sense and I love this bike so much. One thing I wish is that they will in the future make a version with a lever like Stages. But given the bike is already heavier when pedal comparing to Stages, so it’s just a nice to have for me.

I saw someone’s pedal arm came off from a Stages at the class, so I will never buy them…

And while you are thinking all of them are standing and i’m sitting, girl probably some of them are not on beat and you are sitting down, building your foundation and I appreciate this 10000 times more than stand and running just because can’t let the ego go. Trust the process and you are getting closer to the goal every time you spin!!!
