It would take a very good cyclist to me able to burn 1000 calories in an hour, you’d have to push an average of 277 watts for the whole hour.
Using calories to measure a workout may be a fun way to motivate a class, but can result in multiple different training outcomes. For example, I could do 5 different workouts, each burning 1000cals, but workout intensity would determine what energy systems are being trained - steady state riding in zone 2, 30 minute intervals at tempo, 20 minute intervals at sweetspot, 10 minute intervals at threshold, or 3 minute intervals at V02 max.
