Endurance training strengthens your heart, lungs and muscles. This training gives you the energy you need to be at your best from start to finish.

Endurance training assessment

We begin by understanding your goals, experience and what drives you. From there, our team creates a personalized workout plan to fit your needs. Whether you're just starting out or pushing toward a new milestone, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Conditioning as part of endurance training

Our team designs aerobic workouts that train your body to use oxygen more efficiently. These exercises strengthen your heart and lungs over time, helping you train harder, perform longer and recover faster.

We also help increase your anaerobic threshold, a key to improving endurance and performance. During intense exercise, your muscles produce lactic acid. When you reach your anaerobic threshold, lactic acid builds up faster than your body can get rid of it, leading to fatigue. Our targeted training raises this threshold, helping your body handle high-intensity efforts more effectively.

Tailored workouts for endurance training

Our programs provide expert training regimens for every sport. We incorporate a variety of exercises designed to help you reach your goals.

Your program may include:

  • Cardiovascular training: Workouts that improve aerobic capacity
  • Circuit training: Timed exercises designed to build strength and improve endurance
  • Slow-distance training: Longer, moderately paced workouts designed to increase cardiovascular fitness

Training for long-distance cycling

Our trainers work with performance cyclists at all levels to get you ready for long-distance events. We focus on:

  • Aerobic conditioning: Workouts that increase your oxygen use
  • Anaerobic conditioning: Short bursts of high-intensity exercise
  • Overloading: Progressively more challenging workouts
  • Recovery: Post-workout strategies to prevent injury and continue endurance gains

We create targeted workouts that improve muscle and cardiovascular endurance. These strength gains help you manage your energy during long rides, so you can push farther with less fatigue.

Our sports medicine specialists also provide expert bike fitting to make sure your bike fits you properly. We correct any issues that could lead to injury, enhance your ride efficiency and improve your overall performance.
