EMC Off Season Cycling Club

More time in the saddle isn’t the most efficient way to build strength, power, and durability on the bike.

Welcome to the off season.

It’s time to level up.

What’s the best way to become a faster cyclist?

A combination of riding your bike, interval training, and strength training.

Cyclists are great at putting in the miles but typically have no idea how to start strength training.

We worked together with David Wenger, cycling coach and founder of Durata Training, to develop the EMC Off Season Cycling Club to change that.

The off season is the best time to start and progress in a strength training program to get stronger and faster for 2023.

Who’s this for?

Glad you asked. The program was designed exclusively for cyclists by Doctors of Physical Therapy who are also cyclists and is great for…

  • Elite road, gravel, and mountain bike riders

  • Racers who want to cat up

  • Cyclists who feel like they’ve plateaued with their training

  • Riders who feel asymmetrical on the bike

  • Weekend warriors who want to keep up with a faster group ride

  • Cyclists who want to get into racing next year

  • Riders who know they should add in strength training but need help doing that

  • Cyclists who always feel tight on the bike or after riding

The program starts at square one and each training day addresses both mobility and strength. Pairing those two domains is incredibly powerful for cyclists.

We’ll teach you what you need to know, even if you currently don’t know what a Romanian deadlift or a split squat is (and why you should be doing them).

What do I get?

A four week program designed to…

  • Decrease asymmetries in your pelvis, legs, and rib cage

  • Teach you to connect with muscles that cyclists typically underuse

  • Build strength, resiliency, and intermuscular coordination without sacrificing your position on the bike

  • Improve the efficiency of your pedal stroke by coordinating your glutes, hamstrings, calves, and quads

  • Improve length of muscles without decreasing the muscles’ ability to activate

And access to a Slack channel for the group run by Dr. Anthony and Dr. Amy. We’ll be there to answer questions, check your form, and cheer you on.

And the price point? $149.

Less than the cost of a pro jersey.
