Megan's an enduro racer, Yeti Ambassador and all around bad-ass. Another client that scares me! She' s no stranger to pushing limits. As an avid mountain biker and skier, she knows how critical physical preparation is for tackling challenging trails and big adventures. But like many riders, she knows that general fitness wasn’t enough to meet the demands of aggressive downhill trails and endurance-heavy rides.
She decided to take the leap into Personalized mountain bike-specific strength training a broken wrist this spring —and the results speak for themselves.
Why Megan chose my MTB Performance Program
Megan’s motivation was simple:
“There are a lot of forces acting on you as you ride your bike—you need to be strong to counteract them when the trails get rowdy. I noticed my ski season training helped me feel better on the bike, and I wanted to experience the benefits of mountain bike-specific training. I chose Alex's program because it's crafted for mountain bikers with a busy lifestyle.”
Between the physical demands of downhill trails and her packed schedule, Megan needed a program that would deliver results without consuming all her time. That’s exactly what she found.
The Impact on Her Riding Performance
The improvements Megan has seen have been tangible.
“My endurance on physical DH trails improved a lot! I think Alex's strength training program kept me in one piece at the Canadian Enduro Finale :)”
She’s also noticed key changes in how her body responds during longer rides:
“Less arm pump!”
For anyone who has felt their grip failing on a descent, this is a game-changer.
Overcoming Challenges and Building Confidence
Earlier this year, Megan faced a significant hurdle—a broken wrist. After completing her initial physical therapy, she found herself unsure of how to safely regain her strength and confidence on the bike. That’s where my program came in.
“When I was floundering after graduating from normal PT, Alex helped me to safely build my strength back up to give me the confidence to get back on the bike.”
Fitness Makes Riding More Fun
Beyond the physical benefits, Megan discovered a renewed sense of joy and adventure in her riding:
“Being fit makes riding more fun! You can ride your bike for longer and go on bigger adventures.”
Why Megan Recommends Strength Training
For mountain bikers wondering if strength training is worth it, Megan has one simple question:
“What are you waiting for?”
Her advice for those on the fence? Take the plunge, and you won’t look back.
Training That Fits Your Life
As a busy athlete, Megan found the flexibility of remote training to be a perfect match for her lifestyle:
“Alex was so easy to work with remotely—he was always able to answer my questions in a timely manner, and the video-chat check-ins were easy to fit into a busy schedule. Remote training meant I was able to slot my workouts into my schedule, instead of scheduling around them. As long as you are self-motivated enough to get started, Alex makes the rest so easy.”
