AVAILABLE ONLINE OR IN LAB
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- "I am unable to kick on hills steeper than 5%."
- "I struggle to pace myself properly on longer climbs and run out of energy before the top."
- "I've hit a plateau with my training and can't seem to improve my climbing."
- "I am doing a European challenge this year where the climbs are much longer and I want to be ready."
- "My friends always have to wait for me at the top of every climb."
- "I avoid steeper hills on rides as I always struggle with my climbing stamina and end up having to stop to get my breath back."
WHAT TO EXPECT
This programme will have you training smarter and is focused on driving:
1. Improved anaerobic strength to become a stronger climber,
2. Superior stamina and muscular endurance to climb longer and faster,
In order to see these improvements we will focus on a combination of "Mountain Goat" intervals - Lower cadence strength based sessions and stamina based sweetspot (90-92% of FTP) on heavy resistance with explosive power sprints at VO2 intensity (110-120% of FTP).
If you want to kick start your training and improve your climbing strength, threshold power and cardiovascular fitness, then our immersive LIVE in Lab and online training programme is the ideal programme for you.

"I can really recommend this programme for anyone wanting to put a bit more effort into your practice – who doesn’t want to climb better! You’ll definitely improve on climbing through structured on-bike sessions. This programme will dial things up – I saw my relatively good fitness test results improve by 30-50% and felt at the end I 'controlled' the same climbs around Surrey Hills where I’d previously 'battle up'."
WHY WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Our LIVE coach led, motivational environment will guarantee you'll train harder and smarter.
Coach led sessions
Each LIVE session is lead by an experienced British Cycling coach (and proficient cyclist), providing live feedback on your performance and giving you valuable insights and ways to improve in real time.
ACCURATE INTERVAL DATA
We use training software that allows you to monitor your real time power (or power to weight) during any timed intervals within a training session. This enables you to accurately track your progress by setting precise benchmarks to maintain and improve upon.
IMPROVED POWER OUTPUT
Training on your own is hard. Our clients consistently say that when training with other riders and being motivated by our coaches, they produce at least 20 watts more power.
.
Learn from FELLOW RIDERS
Everyone benefits from the team spirit and motivation of working in a group. Also, sharing your experiences and training challenges allows riders to learn and improve faster. Our programmes foster a strong team bond and supportive community culture.
"My goal for this programme was to get out of my comfort zone and climb a bit more, and most importantly to enjoy it - I’ve certainly done that. I am climbing much more than I thought I would – Still no fan of short sharp climbs but actively heading out on routes where I know climbing is involved or even doing things like Alpe du Zwift which I simply wouldn’t have tried before. Thanks for such a fun 8 weeks that was well organised and on a platform that was easy to navigate."

"Just completed the 8 week mountain goat programme to kickstart my training for the new year. I was a little sceptical that I would see a significant increase over that time period, however I just completed my test and have pushed up my average power score by over 25 Watts for the 7 minute interval. I feel stronger and way more controlled and with better pedal technique now when climbing. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!"
