Coaching Philosophy

As a cycling coach my objective is to work with the individual athlete to determine realistic goals and to apply the optimum training in order to realize those goals.

I believe athletes are competitive, either with themselves, others, or both. A manifestation of that competitiveness is the desire to improve. As a coach I will provide training and competition knowledge that would otherwise require years of experience and study to acquire.

I will provide an individualized, adaptable, measured, assessed and reassessed training experience. An experience that fits within the stress and time constraints that each of us has. I will help the athlete get the highest quality training given the quantity of time they have.

Together, coach and athlete, we will define and reach the individual athlete's goals.

Sincerely,
Casey Lamers

Masters' Cycling Class

Introducing Masters' Cycling

Attention recreational and competitive cyclists and triathletes.

I want to invite you to join me this fall and winter to a series of coached training sessions.

Many of you know me as the Spinning Instructor at Supreme, or from bicycle racing as a member of Great Dane Velo Club (GDVC), or from triathlons and runs as a member of Amy's Play Group (APG). You may not know that I am a USA Cycling coach. I love cycling and I love to teach and help others. In November and December I will be offering the first in a series of coached cycling classes.

Masters' Cycling will be much more than your standard Spinning class. You are invited to bring your own bicycle and trainer for optimum biomechanical development. The sessions will go through phases as we pass through the off season. This proven system periodization will establish a technique and fitness base upon which we build to increasing levels of fitness. The classes are designed to deliver both the optimum stress and optimum recovery between stress to yield optimum improvement. Signing up for the entire eight week session will provide time to see this big picture yet detail approach.

I will provide detailed instruction, explain the training logic, answer questions, provide feedback, motivate, and act as an objective 3rd party observer. My interest is helping you improve.

So, maybe you want to keep up with your friends, or be competitive in your age group. Perhaps you want to upgrade to the next category or even qualify for Ironman Hawii. Regardless of your reason, I want to help you reach your goals.

Here are some details:

The first session will be 8 weeks starting Sunday November 5th and will focus on base fitness and technique. Subsequent sessions will move from base to build, and when the weather gets warmer in spring I hope to head outside.

There will be 3 classes per week, meeting at 6:30pm Wed, and Fri for about an hour and on Sunday morning at 9am for at least 2 hours.

All classes will be held at Supreme Health and Fitness.

The classes are open to both members and non-members of Supreme Health and Fitness.

Cost for members is $100 ($4.17/class) for the first 8 week session. Cost for nonmembers is $125 ($5.21/class). This is a one time upfront cost for the first 8 week session. You are not required to attend all classes.

A minimum number of spots must be filled for the classes to take place, but the total number of spots will be limited.
