We offer the best, so you can do your best

Tailored Programs

Our structured plans are tailored specifically to you, to optimise your training with maximum efficiency.

Accountability

Being accountable to a coach creates commitment and discipline, which increases your success rate.

Holistic Approach

Focusing not only on physical fitness, but also mental and emotional well-being to develop a well rounded athlete.

Open Communication

Regular check-ins from your coach for guidance, support, and motivation to help you stay focused.

Inclusive Coaching

Catering to athletes of all levels and disciplines, including competitive, recreational, and amateurs.

Nutrition Guidance

A well-planned nutritional strategy will help you to train harder, perform better, and recover faster.

Advanced Data Analysis and Analytics

Your data will be analysed using the data analytics tools WKO and Training Peaks. It involves inspecting different metrics such as power output, heart rate, cadence, and more to understand your performance better and help your coach identify areas of improvement.

Online Coaching

Catering for athletes globally by utilising online platforms, digital coaching tools, virtual spaces, and online communication tools. Even if you can’t interact face-to-face with your coach, rest assured that you will receive all the support and motivation from your coach needed to achieve your goal.

FTP and Lactate Testing

Your coach will conduct a test to estimate the workload you can sustain for an hour without a significant increase in metabolite wastes, such as lactic acid. For gold package athletes, the FTP test is complemented by a lactate test, which offers valuable insights into how well an athlete can sustain various intensities and how they metabolically manage the workload.

Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.

Success Stories

Shanique Marx (16)

In March 2020, Shanique completed her first Cape Town Cycle Tour on a tandem with her dad. Transitioning to high school in 2023, she excelled in MTB, winning 1st place in the Sub Junior Girls category at the NWU Super 16 MTB race and finishing 3rd overall in the MTB Cycle Lab school series.

In June 2023 she started coaching with Massimo and her progress soared. Under his guidance, Shanique won a gold medal in the Time Trial and bronze medals in the Criterium Race and Road Race at the South African Youth Road and Time Trial Championship. In November 2023, she received numerous awards, including Female Youth Road Rider of the Year, District Colours for Road Cycling, Gauteng Provincial Colours and the 2023 Federation Award for her performance at the SA Youth Championship.

Shanique’s journey reflects her dedication, resilience and passion for cycling, with continued success in both MTB and road racing into 2024.

Elaine Guglielmi (40)

In 2017, Elaine discovered cycling with Massimo, starting on a tandem before transitioning to a single bike under his guidance. This shift ignited her passion and paved the way for remarkable success in road and track races. In 2019, she earned provincial colours and excelled at the South African Track Cycling Championships, securing gold, silver, and bronze.

Her winning streak continued in 2021 with 1st place positions in the Magalies Sleepy River and Tshwane Classic road races, as well a gold and silver medal at the Gauteng Provincial Road and Time Trial Championships.

Elaine’s dominance further extended to winning the 947 Joburg Classic, Sleep River Classic and Meals on Wheels. The peak of her career came in 2022 when she clinched gold in the Gauteng Provincial Time Trial Championships and the prestigious title of gold medallist at the South African Road Championships (VET 35 – 39) in Graskop, Mpumalanga.

Elaine’s journey exemplifies the transformative impact of a personalised training plan, support from a coach and relentless hard work.
