Strength Training for Cyclists

Build strength that actually shows up on the bike.

Whether you're here to build more power per pedal stroke, grab a KOM/QOM or unlock your next level on the bike we’ve got options built for that.

Strength is the foundation for how you perform on the bike.

The cycling world is finally catching up to what elite cyclists have known for decades, and what physics has always told us - if you want more power, you need more strength.

Strength is your ability to produce force. Power is how quickly you can apply that force.

That’s what we mean by putting the science behind the sweat. Whether you're recovering from an injury, stuck in a plateau, or simply want to PR at your next gravel event, strength is where performance changes.

Most cyclists train more. The smart ones train better.

You deserve to ride at your best.

This is for you if…

✔ You want strength training built by coaches who actually ride and understand the demands of cycling

✔ You keep hitting the same performance ceiling no matter how many miles you are putting on

✔ You want a program that directly translates to more power, stronger FTP and better performance on the bike

✔ You're a cyclist with a high training volume and want to stay injury-free doing it

✔ You want to maximize your off-bike training so it shows up on race day 

✔ You're dealing with recurring pain, stiffness, or simply feeling stuck in your training

✔ You want to bridge the gap between injury rehab and peak performance

We Offer Two Ways To Work With Us:

  • 12-Week Strength Builder Training Plan

    This progressive strength program is designed to help you build strength to improve your performances on the bike with an emphasis on single-leg strength and stability as this is the foundation of cycling.

    We focus on strength work that matters for cyclists, such as hip stability, movement pattern control, single-leg strength, compound and key movements so you feel solid in the saddle and strong on the pedals. 

    You'll follow a structured, science-backed plan that starts by building a solid strength foundation and gradually increases your capacity with key lifts.

    Each phase builds on the last, ensuring continuous progress and visible results.

    Whether your goal is to build more power per pedal stroke, climb faster or improve your durability on the bike, this program will help you get there.

    Training that works for your cycling performances.

    What's included:

    • Clear video demos, written instructions, tracking

    • Warm-ups, movement prep, power work, mobility, and cool downs

    • 4-Week training cycles to drive real strength and muscle gains.

    • Structured, progressive programming based on foundational patterns: squat, hinge, push, pull

    • Training Plan delivered through the TrainingPeaks App

  • 1:1 Monthly Strength Coaching

    Built around you. Every month.

    This is our most personalized program. A monthly strength plan delivered through TrainingPeaks, built around your goals, your cycling goals, your training and injury history. Nothing generic. Build for you.

    You get 1-2 monthly coaching calls, online or in person, to check progress, adjust the plan, and talk through what's coming up in your training. Between sessions, you have direct coaching support. Questions, form checks, adjustments. Nothing falls through the cracks.

    This is for the cyclist who wants more than watts. You want to climb stronger, ride longer, and stay off the injury list. You want to be strong enough to handle whatever training throws at you, this month and next season.

    Over 30 years of movement performance experience shapes every plan. We train strength, stability, mobility, balance, and the nervous system together. One connected system, not isolated muscles.

    The result: a body built to perform on the bike and built to last.

    What's included:

    • Monthly strength program, delivered via the TrainingPeaks App

    • 100% personalized to your goals, fitness level, and injuries

    • 1–2 coaching sessions a month, 30 minutes, virtual or in person

    • Ongoing coaching support throughout the month

    • Programming that adapts as your training load and life change

    • 3-month minimum commitment

    Because the stronger and more injury-proof you are off the bike, the longer you get to ride it.

Why Strength Training Actually Matters for Cyclists

Research shows that adding structured strength training can:

  • Improve power output (FTP) by ~5–10%

  • Increase neuromuscular efficiency (more force per pedal stroke)

  • Improve fatigue resistance during longer efforts - durability

  • Reduce the risk of injury

And the key?

It does all of this without adding more riding volume.
