One to one coaching
Some of the coaches, particularly Amanda and Ian, can offer one to one coaching for a fee (from around £20 per month). This can include producing weekly training schedules, diet recommendations etc. and you can find out more by contacting the coaches directly. Unfortunately, this service is popular and the coaches may not always be able to take on extra athletes. Coaches have to find time to train too! Click here to email Ian, Click here to email Mandy
Maximum hert rate testing
Get the most out of your heart rate monitor and base your training zones on a properly measured maximum heart rate. The test is usually done on the club's "Tacx flow" turbo trainer with your own bike and HRM. Contact Ian directly to arrange a date.
Sports massage
Amanda is a qualified sports massage therapist: you can book treatment sessions by emailing her directly. Sessions cost from £10 for a 30 minute session.
