Optimal positioning on the bike is essential for comfort, aerobic and aerodynamic performance, and injury prevention. With bike fit, experience counts, and CTS coaches perform hundreds of road, mountain bike, and triathlon fits every year, with elite athletes from the Discovery Channel and US Paralympic teams to amateur racers and novice riders. Our highly-trained coaches use the latest infrared motion-capture technology from Retul to create a 3-dimensional picture of how you actually ride. And since optimal bike fit is about more than just angles, we spend a lot of time working with you to incorporate information about your goals, your strengths and weaknesses, flexibility and skeletal characteristics, and how you ride. We're not quick about it, and that's for your benefit. A great bike fit takes time, and when you roll out of here, you'll have a riding position that maximizes your power and comfort, for all-day performance. Call for pricing |

Lactate threshold is one of the most important physiological markers for training and success in endurance sports. By measuring the lactate levels in blood samples taken during a ramping cycling test performed on an SRM Ergometer (Colorado Springs and Asheville) or Velotron (Tucson), we can determine your maximum sustainable performance capacity. The data collected during the test (lactate, heart rate, and power) will be used to establish your lactate threshold, as well as specific heart rate and power training intensities to help you improve your sport-specific performance. VO2 max is an indicator of your aerobic potential and an opportunity to see where you fall in the fitness spectrum. This test measures oxygen uptake by monitoring oxygen and carbon dioxide in expired air as you reach your maximum exercise workload. We recommend having your lactate threshold and VO2 max tested at the same time, because together the results from both tests provide an even more detailed picture of your current fitness. From a training standpoint, we aim to increase the amount of power you can produce at VO2 max, and how long you can sustain that workload. A lactate threshold test can be performed on its own, or we can perform both a lactate threshold and VO2 max test at the same time. Call for pricing |

Nothing can undo months of training faster than a poor nutrition strategy during your big event. At CTS we've prepared athletes for the nutritional challenges of everything from criteriums and centuries to Ironman World Championships, the Leadville 100 (mtn bike and run), the Badwater ultramarathon, and major stage races. Each event and each person is different, and our coaches and sports nutrition specialists will examine the demands of your goal event (heat, humidity, duration, elevation, availability of aid stations, etc.) and your personal tolerances and preferences. You'll receive a detailed race-day nutrition plan and an in-depth consultation with a sports nutrition specialist. We recommend you utilize this service at least 3 months prior to your goal event to allow for enough for testing and adjustments to your nutrition plan. Call for pricing |

Whether you have a power meter for daily training or not, determining your maximum performance over a range of timeframes can be critically important for optimizing the balance of your training. You'll be tested to determine your peak power for 10 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 20 minutes. This information can be informative for showing you where your strengths and weaknesses are, what types of events you might excel in, and what areas of training you need to focus more attention on. Like every testing service from CTS, you will receive an in-depth analysis of your results and walk away with actionable guidance for improving your performance. Call for pricing |

The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test easily, painlessly, and accurately determines the minimum number of calories your body needs to support its basic functions. Since your RMR is generally 60-75% of your total daily caloric expenditure, knowing the minimum number of calories your body needs is critical when you are trying to lose, gain, or maintain weight.
