Testimonials
Training with Cole has been an incredible experience, his flexibility in scheduling around my school and work commitments is truly great. I also think he does a good job at explaining the purpose of each of my sessions, which makes training intuitive and enjoyable. We've had some very successful races in this short time and I'm excited for what's yet to come!

Cole helped me return to racing and endurance cycling after a major injury. He crafted training plans that worked around a rather erratic work and travel schedules, while being sensitive to the limitations my body posed as it recovered and keeping the riding itself fun. Half a year later, I feel as strong as ever and am back to riding the big distances - thank you Cole!

We were looking for a coach to help us get stronger on our tandem bike and for our 2024 gravel race season. Cole’s name was given to us and he was up for the challenge. I love his style of coaching and I definitely feel stronger. I like the discipline of having a coach and knowing where I can improve and what my strengths are. At one point I had asked if my power range was lowered because I was feeling like the workouts were not as hard as they were when I first started with Cole. Huge sign of improvement! Cole’s enthusiasm and willingness to check in before a race or mid training is always appreciated. I’m looking forward to see what happens in 2025!

I started riding my bike a couple of years ago and I was mostly just riding for fun, so it was cool to see what it would be like to work with a professional and have an individualized training plan.
I had A LOT of questions about training, nutrition, strength workouts, strategies, equipment…basically everything, and Cole took the time to patiently answer my many questions. It was great to finally learn how to manage my fatigue and train sustainably.
Cole was also very responsive and understanding when it came to changes that I needed to make to my schedule. Riding bikes is just a hobby for me, so sometimes when work and life became overwhelming, he was quick to adjust my schedule accordingly.
He also encouraged me to try out racing, which I never would have thought about seriously trying until he suggested it. With his workouts, I felt strong enough to stay comfortably with the group during the races and not get dropped! I appreciate that he took extra time before and after the race to prep and debrief, and it was really informative to discuss race tactics.
Most importantly, Coach Cole is a friendly, approachable person, which I think is the most essential quality for a coach. I felt like I could be honest with him about my progress and I did not feel like I had to hide being stressed or overwhelmed. I would highly recommend Coach Cole to anyone!
