Training badass athletes to achieve extraordinary feats.
TRAIN HARD.. TRAIN SMART
WORKING TOGETHER
You have no doubt you will finish a race hard because you are 200% committed and believe in yourself and your training.
That hill that used to kick your butt..wait.. What hill? You’re zooming up it with no sweat feeling on top of the world (or the hill)
You notice your overall health has improved and you aren’t exhausted or fatigued. You are sleeping better and resting - and getting faster!
You will notice you’re getting leaner..not because you are eating less, but because you are eating smarter (and probably even more than you were before).
Which leaves you feeling so much more energized, clear headed, capable, and overall a more fun person to be around in every other area of your life

TESTIMONIALS
Chi was able to put together a training program that fit my riding style. We looked at my twice-a-week group rides and made sure they were part of the schedule because I enjoy them. She gave me some rides where the profile was a suggestion that could be loosely followed and some sessions to be followed strictly. When I occasionally did rides that significantly deviated from the plan, we would rearrange the rest of the schedule around what I had done. I rarely felt like I was "training."
Chi's off-the-bike, core workouts were easy to follow with the companion videos to demonstrate proper form. I found them especially useful on rest and easy days to maintain the feeling of progress.

“Slower is faster, trust me.”
Searching for an MTB coach wasn’t easy as most coaches were roadies, but I eventually found Coach Chi’s website. She was an accomplished club MTB racer. She had a formal education in Sports Medicine and lived in the same town as my business so she would know all the local trails. I felt that a female coach would be more intuitive and be able to fill in blanks on stuff I may not know how to communicate. Because other than hopping on my bike with a bottle of Gatorade Zero, I had no clue and I knew it.
After the intro meeting, I had a great feeling about her style. She seemed like a great listener and really wanted to work with my schedule and my rare food allergies, on my terms. She was data driven which was music to my ears. And she was a real XC mountain biker. So I gave her a goal that was over an hour faster than my last time and told her I would do cartwheels down the street if I hit it! With three months to go before the race, a heart rate monitor and the Wahoo Kickr data uploading to Training Peaks, off we went! She set me up with workouts and monitored my progress after every single workout I uploaded. I had time for the Wahoo in the evenings and 1 long ride each weekend and she adapted our plan to everything I threw at her, which was a lot!
Over the three months, Chi trained me up on heart rate zones, FTP, matches, nutrition, race day planning and more. At some point you have to commit and take a leap of faith. That point really came for us early around my second long ride. Chi was pushing my Zone 2/3 fitness and I had no idea how to go easy once I got outside on the trails. I felt like I needed to let it rip! “Slower is faster, trust me”, she texted as I was getting ready to start my training ride. Easier said than done, I only knew how to push and didn’t have time to get it wrong. But I did it. I committed and trusted her. For three months I did almost everything she asked me to do.
Even at the start line, I didn’t think I would ever hit the stretch goal I gave Chi at the intro meeting. But crossing the finish line I actually did a little better than the goal! I’m still in awe at how that all came together. Over an hour of improvement? It’s an incredible result and there is no way I could have done that without Chi’s coaching and help.
So yes, hire Coach Chi! Open your mind, trust her and commit!

Chi was a fantastic coach for me. She was just the right combination of being supportive and understanding of my personal training constraints due to family and work obligations while also pushing me to test my limits and improve my physical abilities both on and off the bike. She leads her athletes by example and inspires us all to be more badass versions of ourselves.

I haven't had a coach since college hockey days! It was fun and forced me to stick to a schedule. It was also positive to have others in the training program - a bit of competition but more importantly a source of camaraderie
