    • Virtual — for a class with your own on-screen instructor video.

  5. Click Save to add it to the Class Builder list.

  6. Click the three dots next to the class → Profiler to open the builder.

    • Upload your own MP3s, or

    • Pick from CicloMusic (fully licensed tracks).

    • Preview with the play button.

  8. Drag tracks onto the soundtrack line on the right in the order they should play.

  14. Click Publish to add the finished class to your studio library.

Music licensing

  • CicloMusic tracks are fully licensed by us — use them worry-free.

  • Your own MP3s require your studio to hold the appropriate music licence.

Step 8 — Class Builder Open

The Class Builder will open; let's first explore the left side.

Step 9 — Statistics Tab

Statistics show the data of the class being created and will populate as the class is built. We'll review it again at the end.

Step 10 — Audio Source tab

"Audio Source" will display all music added to the class. We will review it again after class creation.

Step 11 — Libraries

The next section is the Library, where you can upload your own music in MP3 format or use fully licensed CicloMusic. Let's explore the music available through CicloMusic.

Step 12 — CicloMusic

In CicloMusic, you will find a comprehensive selection of fully licensed music suitable for building your classes. Each track has a tag with its BPM and duration.

You can click the play button to listen to the selected audio track.

Step 14 — Select Audio Track

To add a track, simply click and drag it to the right side.

Step 15 — Track Added

Step 16 — Add Zones

Now, let's add zones. Click the " + " button to add a zone.

Step 17 — Add New Timeline Marker

The first zone has been successfully added. Click on it to view the details.

Step 18 — Detailed View

In the detailed view, you can modify the properties of the zone segment. At the top, change the zone colour. Next, adjust the duration. Then modify the RPM range and enable ACC. The final option lets you change the riding position from "seated" to "standing". Click "+" to add a zone before or after the current segment.

Step 19 — Alternative "+"

Alternatively, click the "+" button to add another segment at the bottom of the class timeline. After adding the segment, choose its colour zone. In the detailed area, you can change the interval's RPM range.

The difference in RPM groups the zones into bands. On the left, you'll see the Profiler view that riders see during the class.

Step 21 — Navigate Full Timeline

Move the timeline marker to review the timeline, and click play to verify the exact timings of class zones with music.
