How do I use the Class Library and filters?

Browse the Ciclo and Studio libraries, star favourites, and filter by class type when scheduling.

Written by John Weaver

The Library appears on the right side of the Schedule page whenever you click a time slot.

Library tabs

Use the Library toggle to switch between:

  • Ciclo Library — our curated catalogue of pre-made classes.

  • Studio Library — classes your studio has built or uploaded.

  • Favourites — classes you've starred.

Tap the star on any class preview to mark it as a favourite.

Can I rename a Live Class or a Virtual Class?

If you mean a Live Class or a Virtual Class from the Ciclo Library — no, those titles cannot be changed.

If you mean a class that you created in Class Builder — the answer is different. We are working on implementing the ability to rename classes, but as of right now, you cannot rename a created class. The title is fixed once the class is created, and for now the workaround is to create a new class with the title you want. See "How do I build my own class with Class Builder?"

Class Types

Switch between Virtual, Live, and Free Style:

  • Virtual — plays automatically with an on-screen instructor.

  • Live — taught by your instructor in the room, with profile guidance on screen.

  • Free Style — instructor controls everything in real time.

See "What class types does CicloZone offer?" for the full comparison, and "How do I schedule, change or delete a class?" for the step-by-step of putting one on your timetable.

Filters

For Virtual classes you can filter by:

  • Time / duration

  • Intensity (easy / medium / hard)

  • Average RPM

  • Stand-up cadence range

  • Instructor language (English, Spanish, Portuguese)

  • On-screen instructor

Live classes use the same filters except on-screen instructor and instructor language.

Random virtual playback

Choose Random Virtual Classes to auto-pick by duration and intensity.

Searching

Use the search bar to find a class by exact name.


Step 1 — Introduction

Log in to your CicloStudio account, open the scheduler page, and click on the timeslot where you want to add a class.

Step 2 — Class Details

The Time Slot will open. On the left side, you'll see the class details for the selected time slot, including the trainer, date, time, and maximum duration — the available time until the next class in the schedule.

Step 3 — Library

On the right side, you'll find the Library, where class selection takes place.

Step 4 — Search Bar

At the top, you'll see a search bar that lets you find classes by exact name. To the right of it, there is a Library toggle to switch between three library types.

Step 5 — Ciclo Library

Ciclo Library - all classes created by CicloZone and available for you to select. These carry our titles and cannot be renamed by your studio.

Step 6 — Studio Library

Studio Library - the classes you've created and added to your studio library. The Class Builder is explained in our "Class Builder" how-to video.

Step 7 — Favourites

Favourites — classes you've marked as favourites by clicking on the "star" on the video preview.

Step 8 — Class Types

Below, you will find the Class Types toggle.

Step 9 — Virtual Classes

Let's start with Virtual Classes.

Step 10 — Virtual Classes Explained

Virtual Classes are professionally produced classes with an on-screen instructor and licensed music playlist. At the top, you will find the complete class profile: intensity zones and their corresponding RPM ranges. On the left side, the current and next intervals with their target RPM, riding position, and remaining interval time.

Step 11 — Virtual Filters - Step 1

Now let's look at how to filter Virtual Classes.

Step 12 — Virtual Filters - Step 2

Use filters to sort Virtual Classes by time, intensity, average RPM, stand-up cadence range, instructor language, and on-screen instructor.

Step 13 — Virtual Random

You can select Random Virtual Classes, which will randomly choose and play a class from the Class Library according to your specified duration and intensity.

Step 14 — Select Class

Click "Select" to choose your class.

Step 15 — Class Added

The selected class now appears in Class Details and can be saved to the schedule. It keeps the name it has in the Library — scheduling a class does not let you rename it.

Step 16 — Live Transition

Now let's learn about Live Classes.

Step 17 — Live Classes Explained

Live Classes have the same structured class profiles as Virtual Classes, but without an on-screen instructor. Instead, the class background is displayed — a road-style scene, or one of the others — enabling a live instructor in the studio to guide the class in real time while riders follow the pre-designed session.

Step 18 — Live Filters - Step 1

Now let's look at how to filter Live Classes.

Step 19 — Live Filter - Step 2

Live Classes have the same filters available as Virtual Classes, except for on-screen instructor and instructor language.

Step 20 — Trainer

For a Live Class, select an instructor so they can access the Trainer Dials during the session. The class will still save and run without one — it just plays with no instructor on screen and no instructor voice, much like a Virtual class but without the virtual instructor. Some studios choose that deliberately when they want a structured ride with music and visuals and nobody talking over it. Inviting team members and the Trainer Dials are explained in the how-to videos "Invite Trainers and Manage Team Settings" and "Trainer Dials".

Step 21 — Free Style

Now let's learn about Free Style Classes.

Step 22 — Free Style Explained

Free Style Classes give instructors full control over the session without a pre-defined class profile. The instructor leads the workout in real time using the Free Style Dials, changing zones and cadence.

Step 23 — Free Style Set Up

Let's look at how to set up a Free Style Class.

Step 24 — Free Style - Instructor

For a Free Style Class, an instructor must be selected so they can access the Free Style Dials and control the class — unlike a Live class, a Free Style class cannot be saved without one. Inviting team members and the Trainer Dials are explained in the how-to videos "Invite Trainers and Manage Team Settings" and "Trainer Dials".

Step 25 — Free Style - time

For Free Style classes, you need to select the class end time, as the session is not pre-planned. The selected duration must be shorter than the maximum duration shown below.

Step 26 — Ending

You have now learned how the library functions, the types of classes available, and are ready to add them to your schedule.
