Indoor Cycling Resources

We created The Sufferfest because we didn’t find any cycling training videos anywhere that got us excited about being on the trainer and pounding ourselves into the ground. Of course, even we like to do something different every once in awhile. The sites below should help you mix up your workouts – these are some of the best resources we at Sufferfest Studios have found to get through our indoor cycling workouts in one piece, sane and at least mildly entertained.
