FAQ’s
Check out the most commonly asked questions when booking a personal Bike Fit or enquiring about coaching.
-
Northamptonshire, the post code is NN9 5GL so very central whichever direction you are coming from
-
Absolutely, the Aero Bike Fit® is designed to change your way of thinking about position and performance, the key is that whatever level of athlete you are we’ll be making changes specific to you, your equipment, and your target events no matter what you’re competing for.
-
Ideally not, this is simply because of the equipment changes that are often needed to most bikes within the fit. I’d rather you got in touch prior to the purchase of your new bike so that I can help advise you on models, sizes, and specs to get the best possible outcome.
-
Yes absolutely, unfortunately, it is part of Aero Bike Fitting that we may well need to change parts to make the bike ‘do the work for you and ensure we get a sustainable, aero, and comfortable position. Most common parts include high sided pads, angles shims for the pads, new extensions, and custom insoles description
-
Yes, of course, many riders have already started to work on their aero themselves, but if you can’t sit on the bike then it isn’t much use! I have an advanced saddle pressure mapping system that can be used outdoors as well (weather permitting!) that doesn’t tie us to the turbo trainer.
-
Please do! My experience within cycling and triathlon from an optimisation point of view means that there are nearly always key things to point out from tyres, drive chain, skinsuits, or tri suits that all play a huge part in your overall performance so it would be wrong of me to not chat that through with you on the day!
-
Occasionally - the weekends are usually dictated around racing and supporting coached athletes at races too.
If none of the dates from Calendly work then please get in touch and we will see how we can help!
-
Absolutely, if you decide that a more personal and daily approach is what you want from coaching and training then there will always be a space for you available once you’ve finished your 3-month plan. We can chat about this in your 3-month plan debrief/ride!
-
Yes, 100%, I work with some of the best triathletes in the UK as a coach and consultant for their overall performance so this is definitely something that is possible, I also work alongside other coaches throughout the process to ensure the 3 sports are working together.
-
I get asked this a lot! On the whole, the team is for people who are coached or fitted by GFCS, however, if you are keen to race for GFCS in either triathlon or time trials please get in touch via the contact form and let’s chat!
-
At the moment no, we support our coached athletes who ride for GFCS with big discounts on custom Impsport clothing as we choose not to run this as a profit driven team.
-
Yes definitely, I have worked and still do work with many teams to get their riders to the desired level, whether that is through the winter, in the season, or year-round.
