“Some days you’re the hammer, some days the nail” …..Lance Armstrong
Some tools are better than others. We have found the bicycle to be one of the best tools to tap into your inner champion. Climbing mountains creates tremendous physiological and mental gains. And what better tool, which afforded us freedom and fun associated with our youth to help us thrive as adults. Thus, we have curated the top cycling services to help you to be lighter, leaner, stronger; dramatically faster & able to drop the hammer again and again and forge a new body and mindset. Our multisport coaches know the importance of proper gear and equipment, yet we focus our services to optimize the “motor” to yield the greatest returns. Power to weight ratio is the key metric to measure one’s performance. Our fitness services combined with our cycling services allow our coaches to individualize training and preparation for optimal results.
Bike Fit | 1-3 Hour Sessions
Optimize your comfort, efficiency, and performance through proper kinetic alignment and bike set up. A full bike fit includes:
Pedal stroke analysis to detect and correct neuromuscular imbalances and optimize power production
Cockpit fit of both lower and upper torso including saddle and stem: height and fore/aft adjustment
Cleat and pedal interface analysis to ensure structural alignment. Cleat will be properly positioned for optimal power production, performance, and comfort.
Complete fits include video motion capture and power based pedal stroke analysis.
Metrics assessed with each fit include, pedaling mechanics, force production, cadence and cockpit arrangement.
Threshold Diagnostic | 1.5 Hour
FTP (functional threshold power) is an indicator of your output potential and an opportunity to see where you fall on the fitness spectrum. These tests monitor heart rate and power (force x velocity) at threshold levels as you reach your maximum exercise workload. Participants should aim to increase the amount of power they can produce and sustain at threshold levels. Understanding your FTP is critical programming and developing your overall power : weight ratio. Metrics assessed with each test include, power, HR, cadence, force production
Cycling & Multisport Coaching | 2 Hours/month
This one-on-one coaching program includes customized periodization for proper duration and intensity levels to optimize your training. You'll also receive data and feedback outlining the most fortuitous path to improving your performance.
Event Specific Training | 1 Hour

Registering for an endurance event to line up with your peers is the ultimate motivator, but sometimes life and age get in the way. As we age the body breaks down. Stress and overuse can neutralize the gains of traditional training. Injuries arise from repetitive movements; muscles atrophy from sitting; and the list goes on. Optime’s integrated multisport coaching allows us to take a client from poor health or injury, to their highest echelon of fitness and performance in a relatively short amount of time.
Stop blaming, age, injury, even “the weather” for sub optimal performance. It’s time to get to work. Don't just train hard, let our specialists help you train smart with a sure fire plan for success.
*Package of services are discounted incrementally (see below). Services Include the following:
Functional Threshold Power (FTP) Analysis | 1 Hour
Functional Threshold Power is a key indicator of your performance ability. It is used to illustrate the gains of proper training and periodization programs. From a training standpoint, participants should aim to increase the maximum exercise workload output for a sustained period of time.
Sports Nutrition | 2 Hours
Understanding the role of carbohydrate, protein, and fat is the key to unlocking your performance and developing lean muscle mass.
