Meet Your Coaches
Hi! We’re Your Fix Coaches
When working with us, you get a team behind you and our comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of your training.
Larry, head coach and founder of The Fix Performance. He's the numbers guy and brings in data-driven insights. His strength lies in bringing 30+ years of experience in cycling performance - including work at the Olympic and professional level; to you so you perform at your highest level. His deep-knowledge of cycling and training science drives performance and race-focused goals.
Coach Sophie is our Movement Specialist and Cycling Coach, with decades of competitive experience guiding athletes toward higher performance. Her approach goes beyond traditional training—blending cycling coaching with strength, movement, and neuro-based work to improve efficiency, increase power, and build long-term resilience.
Coach Otte (Katie), Strength specialist bringing the heart to group cycling & strength classes. With a strong interest in specializing in the off-bike work that makes on-bike performance possible. Beyond coaching, Otte is the one bringing everything together behind the scenes, from our website and newsletters to the content and communication that keeps our athletes connected and supported.
With The Fix Performance, you’re not just getting one coach—you’re getting the power of three.
Most cyclists work with one coach. Our athletes get three, each with a distinct area of expertise, all working together around a single goal: your performance.
We built our dynamic team; Sophie, Larry, and Otte (Katie) - the same way we build training plans: intentionally, with every piece serving a purpose. We bring together a wide range of expertise and energy to meet you where you’re at and help you level up.
Meet Larry Foss
Founder | Cycling Coach | Performance Specialist
What started as a mountain bike ride into the woods in the late ’80s quickly turned into a lifelong passion. After jumping into a local MTB race the very next day, Larry was hooked, that’s where his journey into coaching and performance began.
Driven by a deep curiosity about human performance, Larry became both a sport massage therapist and a USA Cycling Certified Coach in the early 90’s, eventually working with the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team just one day after graduating massage school. Over the years, he’s traveled the world with professional teams and the national squad, supporting athletes at multiple Olympics, World Cups, and World Championships.
But Larry’s coaching goes far beyond results. His training philosophy is built on a expertise crafted from years of experience and continuous education and time-tested training methods. Larry’s real gift lies in combining deep data knowledge (yes, he’s the numbers guy) with the ability to truly connect with athletes. He helps riders make sense of their training, understand the “why” behind the work, and show up for their goals feeling ready, confident, and supported.
Larry founded The Fix in the early 2000s as a one-man coaching space, and later partnered with Sophie to build something bigger, something built around the needs of everyday athletes. Today, he coaches cyclists of all levels through smart, science-backed training plans that meet you where you’re at, whether you're training for an epic gravel race or chasing podiums.
No fluff. No gimmicks. Just real coaching. Real connection. Resulting in optimized performance, improved power output, more podiums and PR's. Larry's belief is that with the right tools, the right training, anyone can feel stronger and surpass their limits.

Meet Sophie St-Jacques
Cycling Coach | Movement Specialist | Adventure Seeker
Originally from Montreal, my love for croissants and maple syrup runs deep, but cycling has always been the heartbeat. That passion started in the late ‘80s, watching the Tour de France, and it’s taken me across North America and Europe—from starting to race as a young kid to chasing races such as the Giro d’Italia.
Cycling opened doors, but it also lit a deeper fire: the pursuit of human performance. My path led me to a bachelor in Exercise Science to then become a Certified Athletic Therapist, Reconditioning Specialist, USA Cycling Certified Coach, a Strength and Conditioning Certified Coach, as well as a Sport Massage Therapist, to than working with pro cycling teams and the Canadian national squads at World Championships and international Games.
But what drives me most now is something bigger: helping committed athletes to ride stronger, feel capable and ready for whatever performance goals they’re chasing on the bike.
Today, I coach driven cyclists through individualized cycling, strength, and mobility programs that go beyond the basics, combining sport science, applied neurology, and reconditioning principles to build stronger, more resilient athletes.
My mission is simple: help cyclists ride pain-free, train smarter, and build the durability to ride faster, have better power output, and perform at a higher level.
Let’s build strength and performance that lasts and go chase what lights you up.
Meet Katie Otte
Strength & Cycling Coach | Movement Specialist
Most people know me as Otte. I’m a strength coach first, cycling coach second, with a background in Exercise Sport Science from St. Catherine University. At the core of everything I do is a simple belief: movement should support a stronger, healthier, more fulfilling life.
I studied Exercise Sport Science at St. Kate’s, where I started to understand the “why” behind training. But my passion for strength training really came from personal experience. In high school, I tore my rotator cuff from overuse in fast pitch and tennis—without any strength work to support all that movement. The advice I got? “Stop playing.” That never sat right with me. I didn’t want to move less - I wanted to move better and be more resilient.
That experience shaped how I coach today. Strength training isn’t just something I add in; it’s the foundation. It’s what keeps you durable, powerful, and able to keep showing up for the things you love.
I found my way into cycling a bit unexpectedly. During a fieldwork placement at The Fix Studio in 2016, I was surrounded by it. Inspired by my brother who raced with the U of M Cycling Team, I gave the Fix Urban Training Camp a shot, and that experience changed everything. Larry’s reaction when I first clipped in? “Holy shit, you look like a real cyclist.”
Graduation gift: a road bike. Just like that, I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve leaned fully into coaching, continuing education, and helping people train with purpose. I’m a USA Cycling Certified Coach, Functional Movement Specialist, and certified in Agatsu Kettlebell Foundations—always learning, always refining.
At The Fix, we don’t just tell people to stop when something hurts. We use strength, movement, and smart training to help you stay in the game. Our goal is simple: help you to redefine the way you train so you can upgrade the way you perform on the bike.
Ready to get started?
“Excellent coaching that is tailored to me and flexible with my schedule. The goals I have set for myself have been met and exceeded as a result of the work we have done together. Highly recommend!”
