Cycling Performance Program
With the success and notoriety of Lance Armstrong, cycling enthusiasm has reached an all time high. Whether they are cycling on road or off, competitively or for exercise, this program will give cyclists more power, responsiveness and comfort than they've ever experienced on a bike before.
All Training and Testing Sessions Are Conducted by Certified USA Cycling Coaches.
VO2max TESTING: An excellent first evaluation, this test gives a good picture of overall fitness level and performance potential. Furthermore, from this test we can provide heart rates and power values that correlate to the athlete's ventilatory threshold (a good estimate of lactate threshold). From this value, we can establish training zones and intensities for the athlete.
Vo2max test $125
LACTATE TESTING: The blood lactate profile is the most important predictor of endurance performance potential in steady-state events (e.g. time trials in cycling, triathlons and running races, especially marathons). The lactate profile test is the gold standard used by elite endurance athletes to determine optimal training intensities and is the most effective way to track the progress of training. After determining a lactate profile, we will provide training zones based on both heart rate, pace and wattage (if available).
Lactate Test cycling $150
Seasonal Package (three tests) $400
Triathlete Package (running and cycling LT test) $250
ENDURANCE SPORT COACHING: Our Endurance Coaching programs are based on proven methods using heart rate, pace and wattage if available. There are many attributes that must be developed to reach your potential as an athlete. We work on every aspect and concentrate on making you the most efficient and strongest athlete you can be. We help you set achievable short and long terms goals in order to keep you focused and motivated while allowing us to set out an appropriate training plan.
INITIAL VISIT $250 (LT Test and interpretation, season and race goal and target setting, training program)
BASIC $150/month (Detailed training program, one monthly contact)
EXTENDED $300/month (Detailed training program, weekly contact)
CUSTOMIZED CYCLING WORKOUTS: Get an extra advantage of knowing the course before racing with our custom course design on the Computrainer. Race against a friend (we have two trainers). Enjoy breathtaking descents and steep climbs with our Tacx Real Life Video. Cycle Alpe-d’Huez and Col du Telegraphe.
$12.50 per session or 3 sessions for $30.
CUSTOMIZED INTERVAL TRAINING: The interval programs are specifically suited to fit your individual training needs. These sessions include precisely measured intervals that match your sport, event and current level of conditioning. The appropriate intensity and duration of the intervals are determined by the results of the lactate test. The lactate testing must be done prior to the interval training program.
6 - week plan $150 (twice a week)
8 - week plan $200 (twice a week)
CUSTOM BIKE FITS/PEDAL ANALYSIS: Each fitting is individualized to meet the rider's specific discipline and needs. It is based on individual anthropometrics, soft tissue and flexibility factors, limitations and injury history. Pedal analysis includes the basic bike fit and the CompuTrainer SpinScan Pedal Torque Analyzer Profile, Efficiency Index and Percent Work Distribution.
BASIC Bike Fit $100
EXTENDED Bike Fit and Pedal analysis $150
PERFORMANCE Fit $200 (basic fit with SpinScan and cycling economy test)
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS: Our biomechanical video analysis begins with collection of video from your specialized sport, such as running gait (treadmill or track), swimming stroke or cycling pedaling mechanics. Technique and key moments are selected and analyzed using our computer software. After analyzing the video we give suggestions for improvement in your specialized sport.
Cycling Biomechanical Analysis $100
METABOLIC RATE DETERMINATION: Metabolic rate testing is crucial for an athlete attempting to achieve a higher power: weight ratio, an individual who wants to lose fat or gain muscle, or someone who is just curious whether they have a "high or low" metabolism. Your resting metabolic rate is related to your lean body mass and is the number of calories your body burns everyday at rest. The simple 15 minute assessment includes a complete follow-up report that tells you exactly how to use your metabolic rate determination to achieve your weight goals as quickly as possible.
Metabolic Rate Test $50, $40 for follow-up tests.
Body Fat Composition $20
POWERTAP: Want a way to quantify your training? Use our powertap to monitor and evaluate power output during training and competition. Accurate and reliable feedback is a critical aspect of any training program.
