FAQ

You get access to our extensive library of videos and resources covering topics in the five-pillars of MTB performance; bike skills, nutrition, bike setup, strength and conditioning and mental training. The feedback and strength subscriptions allow you to level up your progression with direct bike skills feedback and/or a strength program from our Academy coaches.

The subscription tiers are not directly related to ability level, but are catered more to how much time you would like to invest, and what area you want to focus:

  • The BASE subscription is a great way to dip your toes in and get access to the majority of the library, and the fundamentals of mental training, nutrition, bike setup and strength & conditioning. This subscription gives you the ability to guide your own learning, at your own pace. 
  • The FEEDBACK subscription helps you take your riding to the next level by giving you access to MTB skills feedback and some more in depth tools across the categories. This is going to be a good fit for riders who have more time and want to dig deeper into the components of the academy.

NO! The strength and conditioning programs are designed to help any level rider feel stronger and more mobile, translating to more stability and confidence on the bike allowing you to ride better for longer!

The BASE program requires less equipment and time commitment. It is designed to be a great maintenance program for everyday riders, allowing you to have more capacity to ride for longer and recover faster between rides. It is also a great starting point if you are new to off-bike training.

The Feedback strength and conditioning program has a more significant time commitment and requires a full gym setup. This program is going to help you progressively build strength, power and speed, improving your physical capacity on the bike. This program is best suited to riders taking things a little more seriously or racers looking to build fitness in their off-season.

Riders will get one skill based feedback session per month. This means you will focus on one specific session from the skills library, including one video feedback submission, chat with your coach to answer any questions and a follow up video submission to check on your progress. This has been deliberately designed to ensure riders spend enough time practicing with each skill before moving onto the next topic. Keeping your practice focused on a specific topic, making things clear and concise on the trails, making for the best progress.

The Apogee Academy caters to all ability levels from beginner through to advanced riders. The sessions in the academy library are designed to be progressive, starting with fundamental skills, and progressing to advanced applications of skills. Whether you are just starting your MTB journey or looking to take things more seriously we’ve got a session for you.

There are two main ways you can start your progression within the Academy. 

  • Choose your own adventure – login to the library and use the filters to select your desired rider level, skill category and rider outcome. This will filter the library showing you the sessions best suited to your riding. 

  • Select from one of our progression pathways. These are pre-planned outlines that you can follow along geared to a specific rider outcome like; jumps, drops, berms, flat corners and tech.
