I’d categorize myself as an adventure cyclist, and initially approached Power Up Cycling with the goal of physically preparing me for a really big multi-week bike packing event with long repetitive days in the saddle and lots of elevation. The outcome of the tailored Power Up training plans have manifested themselves through both quantitative and qualitative measures. Since starting, I’ve frankly surprised myself with the significant and steady gains in my Lactate Threshold and Functional Threshold Power. Even more gratifying has been when on different occasions, multiple friends started offering unsolicited compliments regarding improvements they’ve noticed during our longer outdoor rides. BOOM! I offer my sincere thanks to Jim, Wendy, and all the staff at Power Up. Give them a call. You can do it, too.

Your First Class is Free.
In the first session, you will ride a “trials” course. The coach assigned to the class will ask you several times during the session about your perceived effort and will adjust the workout accordingly.
This class is free and is designed to give you an idea of how the training works and give us an idea of your general fitness level. We will use this information at your second session, during which you will take a Functional Threshold Power (FTP) test. That test will provide our coaches with information that we use to set your training zones. These zones are used to create individualized training sessions for you. The FTP test will be repeated periodically as you get stronger and progress toward your goals.
Once your evaluation is complete, every time you come into Power Up you will be given a workout specifically designed for you based on your fitness, experience and goals. Throughout the class, the coach checks on each person to ensure he or she understands their workout and is doing it as prescribed. If an adjustment to the workout is needed our coaches are there to do it.
