Performance cycling at its best. Our rides are designed for members who want to have fun while also experiencing authentic cycling. These unique rides are delivered to you by coaches who are road cyclists. We work in 12 week programmes, comprising 4-week blocks of unique rides where you benefit from Periodisation Training used by the pros. Our method incorporates cross-training with Hot yoga, Pilates, Barre and Strength work for riders to be strong on and off the bike.
PERSONALISATION
ZONE TESTING
Begin term with your FTP test (Functional Threshold Power). This gives your current fitness level and used to benchmark your zones so you can customise your rides. To do the FTP, you will need to hold your highest sustainable power upwards of 20 minutes. Your coach will then give you your number to track.
PERIODISATION PHASE 1
BASE
Base training is one of the most important phases of training for cyclists. It is pivotal to prepare the body's aerobic system for conditioning towards larger volumes of work or intensity increases. Riding at a low to moderate intensity will result in increased capillary density (greater perfusion of oxygenated blood into muscles) and greater mitochondrial density. A lower total workload won’t stress your aerobic system to stimulate a further adaptation. More mitochondria in muscle cells increase your capacity to break down carbohydrate and fat into usable energy more quickly. Processing more fat and carbohydrate per minute through mitochondria increases maximum sustainable power or pace.
PERIODISATION PHASE 2
BUILD
The Build Phase aims to challenge your specific short power, sustained power and strength endurance. Increased training load targets your lactate threshold while training at varied cadences to add gradual resistance to enhance pedal load.
PERIODISATION PHASE 3
SPECIALISE
Combining the last 2 weeks of base and build now we ride into our Specialise Phase. These are effective because they demand threshold and above efforts. This is the week to wind it up to target your maximum sustained power!
PERIODISATION PHASE 4
RECOVER
Recovery Phases will ensure your getting the most out of training, while too few will result in potentially overreaching, leaving you with a constant drained feeling. It’s a fine line between resting too much and not resting enough and there is no one size fits all answer to when you should have a recovery phase.
FUSION TRAINING™
CYCLE ✘ PILATES
30 minutes on the bike followed by 30 minutes Pilates. The perfect cross-training class for cyclists and non-cyclists alike. Book early as sells out quickly.
