I get much more out of your program than I have gotten out of spinning classes at fitness clubs.
After only a month of classes, I’m already a stronger rider. I can feel the difference on my rides.
The program and the classes are fun. Excellent equipment and instruction. After each class I feel like I’ve achieved a level of effort and performance that I did not know I had in me. It’s inspired me to ride more often outside of class as well.

Being able to measure the amount of energy I’m exerting at each point during the workout, and to analyze my performance over the course of each workout has enabled me to understand my benchmarks and work toward actual improvement. Since my performance is measured, not just based on how I feel, I find that I push myself harder and then I can see the results of my effort.
Working in the smaller setting of Rick’s studio has enabled me to get to know each of the other participants, and to have lots of interaction and support. Rick is very supportive and gives lots of good advice – it’s like working with a personal trainer. I’ve learned some techniques that have been very helpful when I’m riding on the road.

By attending the C-Velo Performance Fitness Cycling Studio, my overall physical fitness and cycling endurance has greatly improved from previous levels. Training coach Rick Cady, uses his knowledge, experience, and education in creating a strong program that will challenge every person attending his cycling course. Whether you are the occasional cyclist or the weekend racer, the cycling program Rick has created will help you exceed your cycling and fitness goals. This truly is a program that goes well beyond the traditional “spinning” class.

C-Velo training with Portland Owner/Instructor Rick Cady has improved my fitness better than anything at the gym! As a 50 year old recreational cyclist, I was a little intimidated to get involved with C-velo, but found out that it is a perfect class for the beginning cyclist to the elite. With personalized attention, state of the art equipment, and a cozy atmosphere, the rides are not only challenging, but motivating as well. I actually look forward to working out!

C-Velo Cycling has improved my fitness and overall health in a relatively short period of time. I went from a novice rider to a competitive cyclist while training with Rick for just 6 months. C-Velo has taken my riding level from biking around the town I live in to racing at PIR and competing in events such as “Reach the Beach.” With Rick’s coaching and educational instruction, I was also able to drop 19 pounds in 5 months, further improving my competitiveness on the bike. C-Velo was not just about power for me. It is a holistic experience combining nutrition, exercise, technique, balance, breathing and discipline. Rick creates an environment where, as a rider, you are constantly receiving encouragement from others in the class to take your skills to the next level. No matter what skill level I reach, C-Velo will play an integral role in getting me to reach that next objective…that next peak. !

I have been taking a coached power based cycling class for the last 7 weeks. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their power and speed. !

I’ve been training with Rick since September. I can’t say enough good things about Rick and his methods. He puts an incredible amount of thought and effort into each training block. Because the classes are very small, the amount of individualized attention is top notch. He is very motivating in his teaching style as well. Everyone comes out of each class pumped and ready for the next one. Even better, he tests our threshold power at the end of each training block, and without fail, ALL of us have seen improvements in our power output. If you’re serious about increasing your power and seeing results this season, you will find this to be money well spent.!
