Our Story

The Apogee Academy is an online MTB coaching platform that has been designed with a holistic approach, to give riders of all abilities access to the tools they require to feel and ride their best.

Built around what we have defined as the Five Pillars of MTB performance; Bike Skills, Strength and Conditioning, Mental Training, Nutrition and Bike Setup

Our goal is to rethink the way coaching takes place in the mountain bike industry and give more people access to high quality coaching from anywhere in the world.

Our Philosophy

After over 22 years riding, 18 years coaching and countless good times had on a two-wheels. We know the impact that making the most of the time you spend on your bike.

We also know that you cannot just ride all the time and expect to improve, or last forever. Wherever you are at in your mountain bike journey; working your way up to the World Cup ranks, or just clinging onto your teenagers back wheel, the same factors are going  to impact or performance on the bike.

These factors are: Bike Skills, Mental Training, Physical Training, Nutrition and Bike Setup – We believe that, irrespective of skill level, all of these factors need to be worked on in order for a person to find success – whatever that is for your individual riding goals.

Luckily, these are also a few of the main ingredients for – what we believe – are required to create a happy, healthy life.

Get better at riding, you get better at life! 

Our Goals

Our goal is to give riders of all ability levels, located anywhere in the world, access to high quality coaching in all of the areas that impact mountain bike performance; Bike Skills, Mental Training, Physical Training, Nutrition and Bike Setup.

We aim to achieve this goal by applying new technology to years of teaching and riding experience, to create a new online coaching platform that allows riders to engage with clear-concise coaching, receive detailed, personalised feedback and gain access to a variety of professional coaches.

The hope is that we can use this platform to break down some of the financial and geographical barriers that currently exist in the mountain bike coaching world.
