Not Sure Which Program?

Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference is coach interaction & added features. The higher the level the more coach contact hours you have per month. Higher levels also come with added features like data reviews.

Our most popular training program is the silver program – it gives a massive amount of value + heaps of coaching contact for cycling #frothers.

We offer coaching not only within each discipline, but also across disciplines. e.g. Road Cycling, Mountain Biking, Enduro, etc. Simply purchase a 1:1 coaching package in the discipline that you ride in most, & let your assigned coach know so we can target both type of riding styles in your training.

We’re firm believers of training smarter, not just harder. It all depends on what you want to get out of your cycling – but we recommend at least 5-6hrs a week to see some measurable progress.
Yes, you can upgrade at any time if you require more interaction with your coach, and you can move down after your first 3-month commitment.
All programs are custom made per rider based on your questionnaire responses. Depending on what level you purchase determines how much ongoing customisations are made, but they’re 100% made for you.

At a minimum – a heart rate monitor & a cycling head unit.

We prefer using a power meter over a heart rate monitor – but both can work.

We can accept: MasterCard and VisaCard. Payments are charged automatically each month. A subscription for a minimum of 3 months is required. You can cancel any time after 3 months. Just notify your coach to change your coaching package.
