Who Is The Njinga Elevate Programme For?
Your life. Your goals. Your best results.
If you want more than marginal gains, have unique requirements, or you perform at your best when you’re interacting 1-to-1 with a coach, our Elevate personal cycling coaching programme will be a game-changer for you.
You are a Njinga Elevate rider if:
- You've plateaued - You're training consistently, following plans, doing everything "right" but your numbers haven't budged in months. You're stuck and frustrated.
- You lack accountability - You download plans you never finish. You skip sessions when you're tired. You need someone who expects you to show up and do the work.
- Life gets in the way - Generic plans don't care that you had three hours of sleep or that your kid's school play is Thursday night. You need training that adapts to reality.
- You're not sure what's working - You're collecting data but have no idea what it means or how to adjust. You need someone to analyse it and tell you what to do next
- You have limited time - You can’t waste hours on junk miles. You need smart training that delivers real results, fast.
WHAT IS njinga's Elevate?
This is what a breakthrough actually feels like.
Get ready for the version of you that awaits when you train with your personal cycling coach.
Elevate is Njinga’s most personalised coaching experience, a 1-1 partnership built around your goals, your lifestyle, and your potential.
“Togo’s coaching surpasses that of other cycling coaches. His expertise goes beyond cycling, assisting me with my nutrition, mindset and event strategies. He is a positive force in my world. I cannot recommend him highly enough as a cycling coach.”
performance improvements
No more getting dropped
You see that climb coming and instead of dread, you feel anticipation. Your breathing stays steady. Your legs feel strong. You’re not surviving the climb… you’re attacking it.
coach guided sessions
Training that actually fits your life
No more guilt about missing sessions because work ran late or the kids needed you. Your coach adjusts your plan weekly. You stop feeling like you're failing and start feeling supported.
in-depth data tracking
Progress you can see and feel
No more guessing if training is working. Every week you get data that shows clear weekly targets and improvement. But more than that, you feel it. Rides that used to wreck you now leave you ready for more. You're not hoping you're getting better. You know you are.
accountability
Someone who actually knows you
Not an algorithm, a real person who knows your name, remembers what you struggled with last week, celebrates when you nail a session, and pushes you when you're ready, even if you don't think you are.
"I've still got it" feeling
Confidence that spills into everything
When you prove to yourself that you can push through those final intervals, hit new power numbers, climb faster than you ever have, something shifts. You start believing in yourself differently. At work. With your family. In how you tackle challenges.
360' benefits
Energy that lasts beyond the bike
You used to crash at 3pm, needing another coffee just to make it through. Now? You finish the day sharper than you started. Your partner notices. Your colleagues notice. You're not just fitter, you're fundamentally more energised, and leaner.

We analyse everything that affects your performance, from your training data and nutrition to mindset, recovery, and real-world commitments. Then we build a plan that fits your life and adapts as you go.
Elevate isn’t just about data or sessions - it’s about you.
- It’s a tailored system that evolves with you, built to help you perform at your best, not just once, but consistently.
- Training apps give you numbers, but not the belief to push through when it gets tough.
- Generic plans don’t know when you’re tired, stressed, or juggling life.

Frequently asked questions
How is Elevate different from a normal cycling coach?
Most cycling coaching focuses almost entirely on training sessions, power numbers, and volume. Elevate takes a very different approach.
We coach the whole cyclist, not just the workouts.
That means your training is built around your work stress, recovery capacity, travel schedule, sleep, family commitments, injury history, nutrition, and long-term health, not just your FTP. For cyclists over 40, those things matter more than most people realise.
Elevate is designed as a long-term performance partnership. Instead of reacting after fatigue, injury, or burnout happens, we adjust early and proactively to keep you progressing sustainably.
This is coaching built around real life, not ideal conditions.
Do I need special equipment for Elevate?
An indoor trainer or Wattbike that records power and cadence is essential, along with a laptop or tablet, stable internet and an ANT+ receiver or Bluetooth. A heartrate strap is recommended.
What if my work schedule changes constantly?
That’s exactly why Elevate exists.
Many of our riders are executives, business owners, and professionals with unpredictable schedules, travel commitments, and demanding weeks. Flexibility is built into the coaching process, not treated as failure.
If work becomes stressful, travel increases, recovery drops, or life simply gets busy, your training adapts with it.
We would much rather adjust intelligently than force you to follow a rigid plan that no longer fits your reality.
Because sustainable progress comes from consistency over time, not perfection week to week.
What if I don’t see results?
Every Elevate partnership begins with a thorough assessment of where you are now, your physiology, your history, your goals and your life. That baseline means progress is measurable from the start. Most cyclists notice a difference in how their training feels within the first two to three weeks. Measurable performance gains typically follow within six to eight weeks of consistent structured training.
If progress isn't happening as expected, your coach identifies why and adjusts, that's the point of ongoing oversight rather than a fixed plan. The cyclists who get the most from Elevate are those who communicate openly and train consistently. The programme is designed to work around real life, not despite it.
If you still don't see results after the first 3 months, we will happily refund your money, no questions asked.
How is Elevate priced and what commitment is required?
Elevate is structured around a 6 or 12-month partnership because meaningful, sustainable progress takes time. A month-to-month coaching relationship doesn't allow the kind of long-term planning and adaptation that makes Elevate work.
6-month partnership: from £3,570, £595/month 12-month partnership: from £6,800, £566/month, and the most cost-effective way to commit to the long game.
Pricing varies within each tier depending on your specific requirements, this is confirmed during the application conversation. There's no pressure to choose before we've spoken.
Why does cycling feel harder after 40 even though I’m training just as hard?
Because your body no longer responds to stress in exactly the same way. Recovery takes longer. Sleep quality matters more. Life stress accumulates more easily. Your ability to absorb high training loads changes.
The problem is that most cyclists never adjust their approach. When progress slows, they often respond by adding more intensity, more volume, or more pressure, which usually leads to fatigue, plateau, or burnout. After 40, improvement comes less from doing more and morefrom doing the right things consistently.
That’s exactly what Elevate is designed to help you do.
Is Elevate worth the investment?
That depends on what you value.
Most people invest heavily in their careers, businesses, and responsibilities. Very few invest intentionally in the long-term health, movement quality, and physical capability that supports everything else.
Elevate is not simply about riding faster next month.
It’s about protecting your health, maintaining your strength, improving your energy, and continuing to ride confidently for years to come.
For many riders, that becomes one of the most valuable investments they make, not just in cycling, but in themselves.
What if I’ve tried coaching before and it didn’t work?
Many of our riders come to Elevate after previous coaching experiences left them frustrated, exhausted, or stuck.
Often the problem is not motivation or discipline. It’s that the coaching never fully accounted for the reality of life after 40.
Generic plans and rigid training structures rarely adapt properly to work stress, travel, recovery limitations, or changing energy levels. Elevate is different because your life is not treated as an inconvenience to the training plan. It becomes part of the coaching process itself.
That’s often the shift that finally unlocks consistent progress again.
