Olympic Triumphs and Golden Pedals

Let’s start with some thrilling news from the world of competitive cycling. Our very own Ben has been on a whirlwind journey, visiting two Olympic cycles in Tokyo and Paris. The highlight?

The lessons learned at this elite level are now being applied to help cyclists of all levels improve their performance.

The Pilates Connection

While cycling has been at the forefront, Jen has been deeply immersed in another passion – Pilates. She has been working towards a comprehensive Pilates teacher certification, and this venture has been a game-changer. Understanding movement on a deeper level has provided Jen with a fresh perspective on athlete training.

Pilates emphasizes core strength, flexibility, and balance, all of which are crucial for cyclists. Jen is integrating these principles into her training routines, ensuring athletes maintain their mobility alongside strength. This holistic approach is designed to keep the body and mind in sync, ultimately enhancing performance.

Continual Learning and Spiritual Growth

Jen isn’t one to sit still. Her thirst for knowledge is relentless, and she continues her education in body movement and spiritual practices. Reading over 50 books a year, she dives into diverse subjects that contribute to her personal and professional growth.

This dedication to learning isn’t just about self-improvement. Jen believes in sharing her insights with the cycling community, helping others discover new ways to approach their training and personal well-being. Her blend of physical and mental training is setting new standards in athlete development.

Beyond the track and mat, Ben and Jen have embarked on numerous adventures around the world. From the picturesque landscapes of Mallorca, Spain, to the serene beaches of Nosara, Costa Rica, their travels have been nothing short of epic.

In South Africa and Botswana, they immersed themselves in the rich cultures and breathtaking wildlife. Traveling throughout the USA, they connected with cycling communities, exchanging stories and experiences that add to their rich tapestry of knowledge.
