The money in a cycling studio is in two places: new riders who come back for a second class, and the hours the room stands empty. Round Connect works on both — and gives you a short weekly digest instead of guesswork.

New riders who come back
A first class that feels too hard is often the last one. Every first-timer rides in a narrower range, the instructor knows who they are before the class starts, and the card afterwards offers a beginners’ ride. You see how many came back within 14 days — and with which instructor.
Regulars who keep progressing
Time in their own range grows class by class, and the card shows it. When someone sits comfortably at the top of their range, they’re invited to go harder. When a regular starts to fade, their instructor gets a reason to talk — not a discount code.
A studio that works in the daytime
Many gym cycling rooms stand empty most of the day. Self-guided and virtual rides become safer when the screen tells a rider it’s time to ease off — and a stopped bike alerts the duty staff. After the pilot, where your insurer agrees.
Riders stay with the studio
Ranges, saddle marks and history belong to the rider and your studio, not to one instructor. A signature ride can be taught the same way by every instructor — so when a star moves on, the room doesn’t empty.
One standard across every site
For networks: the same first class everywhere, numbers across sites to see where instructors need help — not to rank them — and a safety log for your board and your insurer.
Keep what you have
Your bikes, your booking system, your music. Round Connect adds a layer of signals on top; sensors go only where a bike doesn’t send cadence itself.
Two numbers to watch
The share of new riders who come back within 14 days, and how their time in range grows. A way to think about it — an example, not our data: 40 new riders a month, a regular worth €100 a month. Ten more in every hundred coming back is four more regulars — about €400 a month, from every month’s new riders.
