Got a question? We’re here to help

Riders who want flexible, structured training without live sessions — self-motivated cyclists who prefer to progress on their own time, with a proven plan.

Use a laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection and your smart trainer/Wattbike. You’ll see real-time targets and track progress session by session.

Yes. Use Perform for quality interval work mid-week and ride outdoors for endurance or skills on weekends. It’s a flexible system designed to fit real life.

Perform adapts to your schedule. Most riders do 2–3 sessions of 45–60 minutes per week to see steady progress, with the option to add more when time allows.

Each workout follows clear interval blocks with power/cadence targets and coach-led guidance. It feels like a live class, but you train on your own schedule.

Perform is self-guided, but you’ll have access to the Njinga community for motivation and tips, plus a structured plan that removes the guesswork.

Choose monthly, 6-month, or annual access. Your membership runs for the full period you select and is easy to renew if you want to continue.

Yes – cancel from Account settings. You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing cycle, and you won’t be charged again.

Yes. If you follow the recommendations but don’t improve, Njinga offers a 100% money-back guarantee.

Accelerate is perfect if you love a challenge and thrive on group accountability. It’s designed for riders who want structured coaching, community motivation, and measurable results.

Absolutely. You’ll train in your own personalised power zones, so sessions adapt to your level. Beginners build confidence while experienced riders are still pushed to progress.

You’ll need a indoor trainer, or Wattbike that records power, speed and cadence. (Peloton works if you fit power pedals.) A laptop or tablet with stable internet is also essential.

Recommended is a power meter, heart rate strap and exercise mat.

Accelerate is built around two compulsory 60-minute coached indoor sessions each week and a ride out. There are also optional extras like stretching and strength work. Plan for minimum 2 hours weekly with the option to do more.

We use immersive online training software to deliver the on demand sessions. Even though you get to chose when to do them, you’ll never ride alone.

Every training session feels like a live workout with real-time coach led guidance, accurate data-driven structure, and the energy of a group ride, all in one.

‍

This is the beauty of having access to a coach. We will guide you on how to adapt your training accordingly or how to adjust the sessions in the weeks you are away. As you have the complete flexibility to do the training sessions at a time that suits you, your coach will provide you with the best course of action regarding the session(s) missed so you stay on track and don't fall behind.

You’ll join a private WhatsApp group with your training cohort, plus have weekly live coach feedback and Q&A sessions to keep you on track. These are done according to a set schedule, alternating between a Tuesday (7:30PM) and Thursday evening at 6:30PM (UK time). Recordings will be made available if you're not able to attend live.

The Accelerate programme runs in 8 week blocks, but you’ll usually have access for up to 10 weeks per block to finish sessions if needed.

You can join Accelerate Flexi, paying monthly from £139 pcm and choosing your training blocks, or Accelerate Max, paying £119 pcm for 7 months. Both options include the money-back guarantee. Purchase all 7 months upfront and save an additional 10%.

Follow the programme as recommended and if you don’t improve, Njinga offers a 100% money-back guarantee.

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.

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.

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.

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.

‍

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.

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.

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.

‍

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.

That depends what you're comparing it to. Compared to a training app, online cycling coaching costs more. Compared to years of riding without structure, missing goals, accumulating injuries, and making slow or no progress, the return on investment looks very different.

The cyclists who benefit most are those who are already committed and consistent  but not seeing results that match the effort they're putting in. Coaching provides the structure, accountability and expertise that turns consistent effort into consistent improvement. Most Njinga clients stay for an average of 2.2 years because the results justify the continued investment.

The most honest measure of whether coaching is worth it? Whether you're currently improving without it.

For most cyclists over 40, balancing demanding professional and family lives, 6 to 10 hours per week of structured training is sufficient to make meaningful progress, provided that training is properly structured and recovery is built in. More hours without structure rarely produces better results and often leads to accumulated fatigue, reduced motivation and increased injury risk.

The principle that matters most after 40 is quality over volume. Every session should have a purpose. Unstructured riding can supplement structured training but shouldn't replace it. The right amount of training is the amount you can recover from consistently, not the maximum you can fit in.

Most of our programmes start with as little as 2 hours a week.

Zwift and TrainerRoad are excellent training tools but they are platforms, not coaches. They provide structured workouts and gamified environments but they don't adapt to your life, monitor your recovery, adjust your load when stress increases, or account for nutrition, mindset and the physiological realities of training over 40.

Njinga offers coaching built specifically around cyclists over 40 managing demanding lives. The Njinga 360° Performance Code integrates training, fuelling and mindset as a single system, adjusted every week by a coach who understands both the physiology and the life. The result is sustainable progress rather than short-term fitness gains that fade when life gets busy. We also believe enjoyment matters. Sustainable performance should enhance your life, not take it over. Our coaching combines structure, accountability, human support and long-term thinking in a way most training platforms and generic AI-generated plans simply can’t.

Perform is for self-motivated riders who want structure and flexibility. Accelerate is for cyclists who thrive with community, challenge, and group coaching. Elevate is for riders who want personalised 1-to-1 support to progress faster.

Absolutely.

Our riders aren’t elite cyclists. They’re busy people who want more structure, confidence, consistency and enjoyment from their riding. Some are returning to cycling after years away. Others are preparing for their first sportive or simply trying to feel fitter and stronger again. What matters most isn’t your current level. It’s your willingness to train consistently and approach improvement intelligently.

Our coaching is designed to meet you where you are now, and help you keep progressing in a sustainable, realistic way.
