WattsUp Cycling

I wanted to let you know that I have finished up the 3 spring classics and the first O Cup mtb race. I PB'd in all 3 gravel races, one of which had a 79th overall (vs 178 th overall last year), and the mtb O Cup had a 3rd place finish for the last podium spot. Gotta think your race program had lots to do with it as I really didn't change anything else over the winter. See you indoors in December!

I never got a chance to thank you for all the training, education and support this past winter. It was great getting introduced to your program and I definitely feel the benefits. This weekend (at the Ride to Conquer Cancer) will tell the full tale but I feel like I can handle it and I don't think I could state that without all the benefits you and your team provided. Thanks again and have a great summer!!

The winter-early spring training I just did at WattsUp has really been amazing! I have never felt fitter and healthier in all my life as now! Happy to be among the countless living, breathing proof of WattsUp's guarantee to its disciples... improved fitness over time.

My outdoor riding has been going well. I can feel my improvement in leg power! Right now I am the lightest I have ever been and also have the most leg power I have ever had! The perfect combination!

CB, 40-something age group duathlete

I think I am stronger, last year most of my training was around 29 to 30 kph. Just last weekend, I did a 90 K ride in 2:44 which is over 32 kph!

We have both enjoyed the training at your facility and will certainly endorse the program to any of our cycling friends.

JG, 50-something female cyclist

Dear WattsUp: Let me start by saying a huge THANKS! Over the past 11 months I have become so much stronger on my bike, more importantly, so much stronger in confidence! Everybody at WattsUp has been such amazing coaches - positive, insightful and always encouraging me to be the best I can be on that day. The workouts are structured with a specific objective which means each workout builds on the previous one - AMAZING.

This year for the first time ever I started the outdoor season feeling so very strong. I was ready for my goal triathlon and as a result finished the event with a huge smile on my face - happy with each km I rode. The brick workouts we did definitely added to both my fitness level AND my mindset for the event. I am so excited to be starting the program this month. It's challenging, motivating and actually in a crazy kind of way - lots of fun. You guys are amazing - THANKS!

LC, 50-something intermediate triathlete

At age 49, I have a lot of experience with being "off the back" and getting dropped on the hills. My goal this year was to get dropped less in general, and to eventually ride confidently with the 26-28 km/h group with my club, and also to hopefully improve on my time at the Subaru Centurion C50 ride in September (2016).

I have done spinning classes in the past and have also been exposed to power-based training. I wanted to take the next step in commitment to becoming a better bike rider. So I thought structured weekly training at WattsUp would be a perfect fit. When I walked in to my first weekly training session at Halloween (2015), I thought to myself, "this year is going to be different, my season starts now." Entry into the program started with my first ever lactate threshold test which objectively established my power zones, providing me a starting point for my very first class.

After a winter of consistent indoor training at WattsUp, I did, in fact, move up to the new group on club rides this summer. And in the Centurion C50, despite a very rainy day, I improved my time by 18:07 over my previous best! My average speed went from 26.4 to 29.2 km/h! I moved up 17 percentile points in the overall category, even though I was now racing with an extra 294 racers who normally do the C100. (The C100 was cancelled due to weather conditions.) I'm extremely pleased with seeing an improvement. The work continues, however I am very impressed that training actually worked for me at my age. WattsUp was the difference.

PF, late 40s, intermediate and improving cyclist

I joined Watts Up in November 2015 with the intention of maintaining my cycling fitness over the winter. I had never been on a CompuTrainer and was interested in trying it. After having my initial test/assessment, I had my own level of fitness to work with and improve on. I really enjoyed the classes, even as they grew harder over the winter. I grew stronger. It was also very motivating to ride with a group. By the time spring arrived I was in the best shape ever! I highly recommend WattsUp, there is lots of support and information available for new cyclists. Thank you WattsUp! I'll be back this winter!!!

SG, veteran age group endurance athlete

I have always liked to ride my bike but often found myself struggling to keep up with other cyclists in my group, after committing to the WattsUp program...I LOVE to ride my bike. I am now able to ride with poise and confidence in any group I choose. The team at WattsUp are professionals in every sense and have helped me to discover what it really means to be a cyclist.

SK, 40 year old road cyclist, and improving quickly

I starting riding at WattsUp last year as part of the Toronto Triathlon Club and it was an incredible experience. I couldn't have made it through not only through my first race but others since, without having been part the classes and learning so much from Kevin, who was so patient with me, preparing me for my first triathlon season.

AS, 20s, 1st year triathlete, and getting stronger

What can I say, but I just love riding with you guys! Honestly, I truly think that what you and the team have done at WattsUp is fantastic. I'm so excited to be part of it.
