Ready for some iFIT summer fun? We’re introducing a unique, new Challenge for you to make the most of the warm summer months with iFIT Summer Camp. Throughout the summer, we'll introduce a new Challenge each month, as usual, but with a twist and some exciting surprises along the way!
How the Challenge works
We'll release a new Challenge each month at the beginning of June, July, and August. Each monthly Challenge will include 8 workouts, and you'll earn a reward for completing that month’s Challenge. But here’s the twist: You have until August 31, 2021 to complete all 3 Challenges, so you have the flexibility this summer to complete them whenever it works for you.
That means you can complete the Meet Your Counselors Challenge in June, or you can wait until July or August when it’s more convenient for you—the choice is yours!
How rewards work
Like a typical Challenge, you’ll earn a reward each time you complete that month’s Challenge. That means you'll receive a total of 3 rewards for completing each monthly Challenge, as long as they are completed by August 31, 2021. If you do complete all 3 challenges, we’ll send you something special to commemorate your achievement: a limited-edition iFIT hat!
That’s 3 rewards total for completing each Challenge, plus a hat to help you stay cool in the heat this summer.
You must complete ONE Challenge from each of the three iFIT Summer Camp Challenges. That’s one from June, one from July, and one from August. They do not have to be workouts from the same equipment type. For example, you can complete one Challenge on your treadmill for June, one Challenge on your bike for July, and one Challenge with strength workouts for August. You will still be eligible for your exclusive iFIT hat.
You have until August 31, 2021 to complete all three Challenges to be eligible for your three magnets and limited-edition hat. There is a limit of one hat per iFIT member.

How to Bring Your A-Game to the Train for a Tour Series (Part 1/3)
If you’re familiar with the cycling world and follow European racing, you may have come across both myself and the team I coach, the UAE Team Emirates. I’m Kevin Poulton and have coached for nearly 25 years, specializing in Spring Classics riders and sprinters. In that time, I’ve been fortunate to coach elite World Tour professionals and work with some of the best teams in the sport. My athletes have secured victories in Paris-Roubaix, Tour de France stage wins, World Championship Road Race podiums, and multiple Spring Classics podiums. And now, you’re my next athlete! The Series Structure I designed the Train for a Tour Series much like the programs I use at UAE Team Emirates’ training camps. Over six weeks, your iFIT Trainers (all of which are pro cyclists themselves) will run you through an immersive World Tour pre-season experience. You’ll train in Mallorca, Spain, as it is the ultimate training destination for professionals. Every winter, World Tour teams flock to the island for their pre-season camps, and for good reason. The terrain is incredibly diverse, offering long, steady climbs, rolling hills, and flat coastal roads—exactly what’s needed to develop all aspects of cycling fitness. The Train for a Tour Series gradually builds in intensity, taking you from controlled endurance efforts to high-powered, race-specific efforts. The workouts follow a carefully structured progression: Early Weeks: Lower-intensity, steady-state efforts with proper recovery, laying the foundation for improved aerobic endurance and efficiency.Mid-Series: More focused interval work, targeting different energy systems, including fast-twitch muscle activation, anaerobic power, and high-intensity efforts.Final Weeks: Race-like sessions, including VO2 max intervals, lactate tolerance efforts, and short recoveries, mimicking the demands of competition. If you follow my training program as I’ve laid out (and you ensure that the SmartAdjust™ feature on your bike is on), you can expect to see improvements in your cycling performance, endurance, and ability to sustain high-intensity efforts.
