We offer many other services that address all aspects of your training and racing to ensure you achieve your maximum potential and goals. We ensure we are up to speed with the latest research so we can offer these services which are essential components of a successful training plan. These services are for all levels of rider – whether you a club rider or have raced at the provincial or national level.
Through the latest research in biomechanics utilizing power meter and pedal stork analysis, we can fit you on your bike. Your fit will ensure you have comfort and balance in power transfer and pedaling efficiency. This includes precise shoe and cleat positioning based on your own unique physiology and training or racing targets and needs.
Duration: Up to 2 hrs (120 Minutes)
Cost: $245.00 – one bike per session($55 for each additional 30 minutes)
An efficient personalized and custom aerodynamic set up will enhance your performance and ensure the lowest drag without compromising your power transfer and bike handling.
Using power meters and the latest technology on an indoor track, we examine power data files modify your position accordingly. This includes dynamic bike positioning.
Duration: 5-10 hours

Maximal is the peak value that can be achieved by correlating cycling variables. SMAP refers to identifying the peak work rate or power that an athlete can sustain using primarily aerobic energy systems (Oxidative System). It is different from a VO2max test since it focuses on sustainable power, and maximal oxygen consumption is not measured. MAP or SMAP test is recommended for all cyclists using heart rate monitors and/or power metres to measure training intensity. Those tests use established cycling protocol using the latest testing equipment and technology available to us. It will determine your aerobic fitness on the bike and your lactate will be sampled at the end of each stage of the test.
Lactate is the by-product of glucose utilization by muscle cells and has significant impact on athletic performance. There are limits to how the body can clear lactate and use as a new source of energy (fuel) within muscle cells. It is important to determine the lower and higher threshold (LT1 and LT2) levels of the aerobic system based on your lactate profile. (Both MAP and SMAP tests will identify LT1 and LT2 power and heart rate levels and will be included in the test report). Results from the test could be utilized by your coach to identify and build your specific training zones power and HR based on your individual physiology.
(Note: developing training zones and energy utilization are not part of test report – but are available upon request).
Duration: 60-90 minutes
Cost: $225.00
Developing training zones based on test results: $60.00
While this is not a cycling specific test it is used for runners and triathletes. It measures the rate your muscles can utilize oxygen to produce aerobic energy and is the most accurate way to measure aerobic fitness.
Duration: 90 minutes

This is a maximal power test of the anaerobic energy system. It measures peak power and capacity for the required duration of six to 60 seconds as well as the rate of power decrement. This test will show your sprinting power and it interprets the general sprint or aerobic abilities.

Body fat is an important part of a cyclist’s overall performance, so to determine overall fitness we measure watts per kilogram. Measurement of skin folds is an accurate way to assess the amount of subcutaneous fat on the body and over time is an effective way to determine if weight gain or loss is fat or fat-free mass (i.e. muscle, bone). We use this information to help you optimize your training and nutrition plan and to ensure your body composition is optimized for competition and health.
