Selling out a Saturday ride is easy. Keeping those same riders clipped in on a rainy Tuesday in month three is the hard part. Between the fresh boutique down the street and the at-home bike gathering dust in their spare room, a rider who loses the habit is a class package that never gets renewed.
- New riders love the first few classes, then the honeymoon fades and their weekly booking quietly disappears.
- Empty bikes in off-peak slots kill the energy of the room and your instructors' momentum.
- Class packs expire unused, and an unused pack almost never becomes a resigned membership.
- Riders chase novelty at the next studio because loyalty to your room has nothing on the line.
How Cadoo solves it
Put real money on the ride
Riders bet their own cash on showing up and hitting their goals, so skipping a class costs more than a guilty conscience. When money is on the line, that Tuesday-night booking suddenly feels non-negotiable.
Verified effort, no honor system
Cadoo confirms the work is real: daily steps read straight from Apple Health or Google Health Connect, plus AI that counts and form-scores camera moves like squats, situps, pushups, and plank holds for cross-training days. No fudged check-ins, so every win in your studio's game is earned.
Leaderboards that pull riders back
Set your studio's crew loose in leagues and leaderboards, then let them share skinned highlight clips of their wins. The rivalry and the bragging rights turn your rider community into the reason they rebook, week after week.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo help Cycling Studios?
Cadoo gives your riders a reason to keep booking beyond the workout itself. They stake real money on hitting their goals, prove the effort with verified workouts, and compete against your studio community on leaderboards, which turns casual class-pack buyers into regulars who show up week after week.
How do you stop riders from faking their workouts?
Cadoo verifies everything. Daily steps come straight from Apple Health or Google Health Connect, and reps like squats, situps, pushups, pullups, dips, and plank holds are counted and form-scored by AI from the phone camera. There is no honor-system check-in to game, so every result in your studio's competition is real.
