Story

Velolab Cycle Coaching was established in 2009 to provide coaching services primarily for cycling but also other endurance sports on request. The directors and coaches are John Rich and Michael Jones, keen cyclists who have both attended Bike NZ level one and two coaching courses. Velolab is based in Thames, New Zealand.

We offer professional, personalised cycling coaching services for any ability, age, or any event in mind. Whether you are weekend warrior, a young up-and-comer, a cycling mum, a masters or veteran, a member of a corporate team, or riding at an advanced or elite open level, Velolab has the knowledge, skills and practical experience to build a training programme to suit your level and lifestyle, and meet your goals.

We use the latest computerised cycle training hardware and specific software to fully assess and understand our client needs and goals, which we then use to build a very focused training profile. We then provide a power based and / or heart rate zone-based training programmes totally specific to the client, which only the client and coach can access through the secure pages of this web site. As the client progresses through the programme they provide feedback in real time, which the coach can assess and then modify as required. Through monitoring the programme we can provide instant feedback on client stats, nutrition advice, client progress, and make instant changes to the training programme should they be required.

Your training plan can be accessed from any computer with internet access, which is ideal for remote training. Velolab is equipped with the latest compu-trainer technology for accurate testing and assessment. This can be accessed at any time by clients for indoor training sessions or one-on-one coaching requirements, including bike set up and adjustment.
