The History of Spinervals


It all started back in 1992. Twenty two year old Troy Jacobson, a top amateur triathlete and novice multisport coach began offering indoor cycling workouts weekday evenings in Baltimore area bike shops. Rapidly, his reputation grew as a tough coach who knew how to motivate cyclists to higher levels of fitness using creative interval training sessions. His athletes got results!

After two years of conducting cycling classes every week then known as CYCLAEROBICS, Troy was approached by the leading indoor cycling trainer manufacturer, Cycle-ops Products. They heard about his program and thought that his workouts would compliment their trainers. In 1995, Cycle-ops hired Troy and several of the top cyclists in the three disciplines, Road Racing, Mountain Biking and Triathlon, to produce a cycling workout video. The World class athletes included Triathletes Greg Welch and Karen Smyers, Cyclists Tyler Hamilton and Ron Kiefel, Mountain biker Laurie Brandt and others. After spending two days filming in beautiful Beaver Creek, Colorado, the first workout video for competitive cyclists, CYCLEROBX was born! Video sales boomed and now tens of thousands of athletes throughout the world have used the original Cyclerobx video to increase their cycling fitness. After going out on his own and establishing his industry leading online coaching service, Coach Troy started his own video production company, LifeSports, Inc. with the help of investors. In September of 1997, the first SPINERVALS CYCLING VIDEO on VHS was released to the public. Sales were brisk since many who had used Troy's original Cyclerobx video were ready for a new workout. Since that time, the cycling industry and Coach Troy's video series has evolved. Now as of 2009, with over 70 DVDs in his product library including Treadmill workout DVDs, Yoga DVDs for athletes and even Physical Therapy DVDs, his titles are available at hundreds of specialty retailers throughout the world as well as available online for download.

Coach Troy:

I must thank you, once again! Thanks to your advice and amazing Spinervals training videos, I just finished my first Ironman event - Ironman Louisville! I currently live in Orlando and must do all of my training on a bike trainer and treadmill. Thanks to your videos and suggestions, I finished the event in under 16 hours and felt great afterwards (I was just hoping to finish)! I can't wait to do my next Iron event - shooting for Ironman Wisconsin 2010.

Thanks so much!

"I just purchased the "On The Road" Volume 1 DVD. My wife and I both tried it and found it to be an excellent DVD. The visual of riding on the road helps with the usual difficulty in sustaining indoor riding on a trainer. We liked it so much that I went out to buy volume 2. I love this mode of the spinervals videos."

"Overall, I am now a much stronger and more efficient rider than I was just five months ago, thanks to your DVD series. I simply rotated through them all every four weeks."
