I have a range of programmes to suit every level of mountain biker, from pro/elite racers to people who are totally new to riding and fitness in general. To help you decide which is the best fit for you, I have put together this flow-chart to help guide you.
The flow chart is just a guide, and there are always exceptions….. I have riders in their 30s using the Over 40s Programme. I have racers using the MTB Bodyweight Programme, and so on, but in general the chart sums it up nicely. Below you will find a brief summary of who each programme is for, and if you are still unsure, then fill out the contact form (with some info about you and your MTB fitness) at the bottom of the page and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
The Complete MTB Programme
This is for trail riders and enduro racers, and it requires a gym. Ideally you will have a base level of fitness (not starting from scratch) and will have done some form of bodyweight or strength training before. If you are totally new to training, then you should complete the Foundation Programme first. Complete MTB
The Complete DH Programme
Exactly the same as Complete MTB, but this is for DH racers. Complete DH
The MTB Foundation Programme
This is a gym based programme that teaches you how to train, or builds you back up after some time off. It is designed to prepare you for Complete MTB or Complete DH (above). Having said that, it is an effective programme in its own right and you can expect to feel the difference on your bike after a month. You do not need to do this before Over 40s MTB. MTB Foundation
The Over 40s MTB Programme
This is primarily for riders over 40 who are new to training, or returning to fitness after some time off. It can be done in the gym or at home. Also ideal for over-weight riders and people coming back from injury. Over 40s MTB
MTB Bodyweight Strength Programme
This is the most affordable, entry level option. You can train at home (no gym required). It is also a PDF download instead of being app based like the others. It is for a wide range of beginner to intermediate riders who want a simple, low cost programme. MTB Bodyweight Strength
