Michael Washburn uses Spivi to build more dynamic, music-synced, data-driven cycling classes that adapt to each rider’s progress at the Frank W. Stevens Center for Health & Wellness.

Reviewer Profile. Michael Washburn. FWS Wellness Center Program Manager

The Spivi cycling studio system has been an incredible tool for me as an instructor. One of my favorite features is the ability to create custom workouts that sync seamlessly with music — it really elevates the entire class experience.

Even after a year and a half of using the system, I still feel like I’m only scratching the surface of everything it can do. It offers so many features and possibilities that keep both me and my riders engaged. The real-time feedback from the app adds a whole new level of motivation and accountability.

What stands out most is how the system adapts to each rider’s fitness level. As your strength and power improve, Spivi automatically increases the challenge based on your FTP, which has been a huge factor in accelerating my own fitness progress.

Creating classes in the workout builder is intuitive and fun, and the support from the Spivi team has been consistently excellent. Overall, it’s made my classes more dynamic, enjoyable, and effective.
