The body is a system, and so is your bike. My background in physical therapy and bike fitting gives me a unique perspective on how to optimize both. I help athletes not just ride faster, but ride smarter—with better position, better movement patterns, and fewer injuries.
What Athletes Say
As an aging poultry farmer with various health challenges, I never considered myself an athlete. But with the patient guidance of my coach John, I've been able to adapt my training plan and stay motivated, even through setbacks. My goal is to push past my physical limitations and conquer events like the Unbound 100 in the coming years, proving that determination and a supportive coach can overcome any obstacle.

Unbound 50
Working with Coach John, I've achieved remarkable fitness gains, including losing 30 pounds and completing my first mountain bike race. I'm now excited to tackle the Skyway 40 again, a challenge that felt daunting before but now fills me with confidence thanks to Ordinary Epics' exceptional coaching and support.

Skyway 40
Through this intense training program, I achieved a true FTP (functional threshold power) and learned to ride at my threshold for much longer than ever before. I've never trained so effectively, utilizing my smart indoor trainer to its fullest potential.
