OVERVIEW
If you are interested in improving your physical fitness, muscular strength and endurance,
and cardiovascular function, or wish to enhance your cycling skills and fitness (or want to
get involved with an enthusiastic cycling group), then read on.
We have what you need!
Welcome to Robert Kahler’s CYCLING
DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING CLINICS.
These popular Training Clinics, which have been run since 1983, are a
fun and fast
way to develop your fitness - whether for cycling or any other activity. These exciting and fast paced classes challenge you, both mentally and physically, to improve your physical conditioning and mental toughness. Everyone with the desire can improve dramatically in as
little as
one
8 week session. Depending on your starting point, it is highly possible for you to make up to a
25 percent improvement
in your aerobic function while losing a few pounds (and percentage points) of fat in the process. All this in a safe, structured, and well guided high energy environment.
The CYCLING CLINICS were developed in 1983 by Robert Kahler, upon his return from a National Team coaching appointment at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. With a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology and 35 years of cycling experience to his credit, Robert has put together the Nation’s most comprehensive and successful indoor cycling training program. Now,
the Clinics have become
"the place to be"
for the
ultimate
in personally planned, highly motivated, success driven cycling training programs.
In order to quantify the results of each participant over the 8-9 weeks, a sub-maximal VO2 (oxygen consumption) test and a body fat skinfold test are performed at the beginning and end of each cycling Clinic. These tests results, shown on a computerized results form, are given to the Clinic members and explained so that each person is able to understand as well
as assess their own fitness and body fat level (not to mention their improvement by the end of the Clinic). For those who are willing to work hard - the improvement can be
dramatic!
Of the three Clinics run every year, the October / November Classes
(Torture Prelude Cycling Clinic)
and the January/February Classes
(The Torture Cycling Clinic)
are both run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with two separate class times each night. The
Speed/Power Clinic,
in the Springtime, runs either one and/or two evenings per week. During the classes, each participant utilizes his or her own bicycle in conjunction with the equipment provided, which helps the riders work on the varied skill, endurance and power development aspects of their cycling or other sport. The result of all of this shows up in a stronger, leaner, and tougher athlete, who is now more willing and able to perform for longer periods of time at
a higher level and with more confidence than ever before.
After taking the Speed and Power Clinic, Scott Albert wrote a great article for the May 9, 2011 Orange County Register found HERE.
