Questionnaire
Once you have purchased your plan and downloaded our free companion app, your plan will be tailored to you based around your feedback from our questionnaire.
We will ask about your current fitness levels, what your goals are, your current training, (if any), the training equipment you have available and lastly the amount of time that you have available to train in.

My Plan
Your plan will be delivered within your personalised dashboard and will consist of three 4 week blocks. Sessions are either cycling, strength or a mixture of both (concurrent). At key points within your 12 week journey you will be asked to upload data on your progress so that we can customise the next block(s) of your plan. The plan evolves with you as you get fitter, faster and leaner! NB:We’re flexible! If you need to swap sessions around or miss a week because of illness or holidays, the plan archives your sessions so that you can complete them when you’re ready.

Cycling
The cardiovascular element of your lifestyle plan is based around your wonderful bicycle! No matter what type of bike, old or new, mountain, hybrid or road, spin bike or gym bike we’ll provide you with customised cycling sessions that slot seamlessly into your lifestyle. The tailored sessions start from 20 minutes for beginners, with longer sessions for those training for sportives or cycling challenges over a number of days. Sessions include low, moderate and high intensity interval (HIIT) sessions either based around perceived exertion or with the use of heart rate monitors or power meters for those that have them. All sessions are tracked with The Fit Cycle app on your phone and allow you to view the speed, distance and durations of your rides.
-
Strength Training
Whether you’re new to resistance exercise or a seasoned pro, the strength training exercises in your plan are personalised according to the equipment you have available, (if any), and your experience. You can adjust most of the exercises in real time to make them easier or harder, with video support and teaching points for each exercise. Strength training makes you a stronger cyclist and helps reduce body fat whilst encouraging the rather wonderful side effect of looking amazing!

Nutrition
Ever wondered what to eat and drink before, during & after a bike ride? Could optimum nutrition be your missing link? Are you ready to lose body fat and get fitter through a potent mix of exercise together with cutting edge nutrition that’s backed by science? All our sessions detail the personalised amount and type of food you should eat pre, during and post exercise dependent on the intensity and duration of your session. We recommend amounts of macronutrients, (carbohydrates, protein and fat), that allow you to tailor your eating with foods you are used to, leaving you looking great and feeling energised! All this backed up with great recipe ideas and supplementation options.

Tracking
All you need is your phone! Use the free companion app to measure the speed, distance and duration of your rides which are all saved in your personal dashboard. You can manually enter extra information such as average heart rate, power or even the way you felt on your ride. A map of your ride shows where you have been and all of this can be shared on social media to gain extra kudos!
-
Rate your Intensity
Your sessions can be adjusted depending on how you feel, this is done by rating the intensity to make your workout easier or harder. Cycling sessions will be adjusted before the next session and resistance exercises, if adjustable, are updated instantly so you can complete your training at the level you are comfortable with.

Video Guides
Our strength sessions have supporting videos that show you the correct exercise technique and our ‘how to’ cycling videos range from; ‘how to change a puncture’, ‘what to take with you on a ride’ to ‘how to fit yourself to your bike’ and many more.The beauty of a companion app is you can watch the videos road side, especially important if you’re struggling to remember how to fix that puncture!
