How It Works
Athletes' Experiences With CTS
Charlie , with humor but firmness, gets me to ride out of my comfort zone. He understands which of my systems need to be worked on and prescribes good workouts
Working with Addison has been an absolute game changer. He’s kept me sharp enough to jump in races as the come but also kept me focused on my long term goals. He’s been there to help me understand efforts in interval and tempo workouts and how to analyze data in training peaks. He’s also been great helping me adjust when family life gets busy so I dont feel like I’m missing a beat. I can easily say I’m in the best shape of my life!
The amount of fitness I’ve gained since I started working with Koop vs. programming for myself (and putting a lot into it) is almost comical. In my mind/experience, he is unequivocally the best.
My objective has markedly changed several times over the past few years. Jane has adapted my program to these changes in ways that have rapidly produced tangible improvements in the different performance elements that contribute to success in the new paradigms. She is also fun to work with.
I am trying Reid’s patience with electronics. We really haven’t progressed past getting TP & Garmin working. Hoping I am past that.
I am working the plans Reid has sent.
I do travel a bit which has also been a challenge also.
Feeling some benefit. Not as such value as I thought possible. Again it’s dealing with electronic hop up w/TP. Spending vast majority trying to figure out what isn’t happening electronically. Again I think we have a path that is working….not really sure yet
Clayton is great coach. He is so supportive and encouraging in working around life and work. I definitely have seen improvements on all levels through the prescribed workouts once things cleared up. I appreciate his patience and perseverance in making this student reach new heights! Clayton is truly an exceptional coach, and congrats to CTS for having him as your coach.
Max has given me discipline and also confidence in what my goals are. So far have been very happy and feel I have progressed over the past 3 months.
Matt has helped with motivation, analysis of workouts and equipment choices. But the real thing I love about Matt: he’s very human. He gets that much as we’d like it to be true, most of us have to fit cycling around life instead of the reverse. Matt has continued to coach me to better riding on physical, emotional and mental levels. So much of his instruction and advice have become part of my cycling psyche. And he and his wife had a baby recently. Congrats Matt!
Coach Clayton, is no nonsense, which has been great for me and helped me push through some excuses and busy schedule to get my workouts in. Looking forward to the final push for my season goal of SBG. Thanks Coach!
learning every single day, i do think the personal approach is the biggest plus at CTS.
coach Stephanie is excellent for daily communication, finetuning every week
and other stuff as nutrition and while discussing the progress and adapting to stress levels
i really like to know the why as it keeps my motivation levels high.
getting coached helps me daily to focus on proper execution only, and loosing less energy on self coaching, so more time for mental recovery
I am stronger and faster while learning more about the techniques used for my improvement and how to process the variations that come over time!
Ivana has been great. She communicates really well. Takes the time to get to know you and find out how she can help you to improve.
Can’t say enough good things! Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I will definitely be working with him again!
Allen does a tremendous job helping me stay focused and is also always aware of the need to stay flexible in my training. He is always encouraging, always available to chat, and always has my best interests in mind. He also keeps our conversations only as technical as necessary and deploys his humor to keep the focus on fun. In less than three months, I am feeling stronger, riding better, and having more fun than I thought could be possible on a bike. I feel extremely fortunate to be working with Allen. Thanks, coach!
I took Fred a couple of months before a big ultratrail challenge. He has helped me a lot to adapt my life with the demands of my training. He has adapted very well to my personality and dedicates the time I need to meet my objectives.
We also both speak Spanish so there is no language barrier and communication is super fluid.
Fred brings a vision that is a perfect blend of academia and scientific rigor with practical advice and his experience as both an athlete and a person. Always bring training prescriptions to practical and real considerations.
He is a great coach and I highly recommend him.
I’d like to thank AJW for all his direction. As a 60+ YO returning to running after decades away from running I needed some direction. AJW has provided that direction. I finished my first ultra (50k) healthy and in good time after only a few months of training. He has helped me find the fun in running and provided the framework of workouts I need. The next event is a 24 hour run in a couple of weeks. I feel reasonably well prepared- as well as anyone can at my age and with less than a year of conditioning.
I can honestly say it’s been a privilege to have his experience and expertise to guide my journey.
I have improved my training tremendously. I am encouraged to squeeze out more training time from my schedule. Clayton is realistic, and encouraging. I improved my time at my last event to the best I’ve done in about 5 years.
Began working with Maddison at the Select Training level on October 1, 2020, after two seasons with a local coach. I’m a 60-year old male, who began cycling in 2015, and hadn’t been on a bike since childhood. Maddison provides a very organized and tactical training approach, and understands the science of challenging athletes to fit their body’s ability to adapt through training stress loads and recovery. Maddison is very effective with our weekly training call and helps me logically understand training plans and gravel-race strategies, and has guided me through Field and INSCYD testing, and the quantified metrics. After 10-months, Maddison has helped me achieve a 20w increase in Field Test power (+8%), 27w FTP increase (+11%), 36w, 90-minute power increase (+18%), 24w, 60-minute power (+12%), and 48w, 20-minute power increase (+20%). I’ve signed up in advance for another year with Coach Maddison, and am excited for additive challenge, adaptation, and improvement!
My first year with Andy was tackling the Leadman series of events in 2019. I headed into round 1 of 6 fitter and more confident than ever. By the time I crossed the finish line in the Leadville Trail 100 run, the last event, I had accomplished more that I thought possible. Andy helped me accomplish my biggest goal to date injury free and with the fitness I needed. We continue to work together on more goals in 2022. Knowing Andy is in my corner is an added advantage. I know I am getting the most out of my training. I can’t thank Andy enough!
Ryne has been great to methodically build my training blocks and improve my fitness. He is also great to answer my questions about why he is scheduling certain routines. He always comments on my post workout feedback and gives me helpful advice on nutrition and products. My calls with Ryne are focused; he does not rush through or cut me off. My emails are answered thoroughly. Overall, he is a good communicator and trusted coach.
