Because fitness isn't the goal. It's the foundation.
One Coach. One Plan. One Goal.
Most cyclists don't need more information.
They need a complete system that fits around real life.
Many athletes end up piecing their training together from different sources, A cycling coach, a nutrition coach, a strength coach, podcasts, YouTube videos and advice from friends. While each can be valuable, the guidance doesn't always work together.

They say
I've been working with James for a few months now and I'm so delighted to have connected with him. He's thoughtful, incredibly responsive and always available to answer questions. He has been particularly invaluable in helping me define clear, realistic goals and craft a training plan that can flex with my packed work schedule, which before had always been my biggest challenge. With James' guidance I'm becoming a stronger cyclist with an endurance engine to do the big 500km+ adventure rides that I've always dreamed of doing. Whether you're a beginner cyclist or a seasoned rider who is looking for structured guidance to avoid overtraining, I would highly recommend working with James!
Laura - Ultra Distance Cyclist
I am a 45 year old, cycling for around 5 years. The reason I looked for a coach was to increase my power to help me keep with my club mates and on fast Sportives. In the 1st 8-10 weeks with James he helped me to push up my ftp by 12% which has made a massive difference to my cycling. The zoom calls are very good and shows a lot of data and charts that are not on garmin or strava and James explained these charts very well. I had an issue with a hamstring and James gave me 5 or 6 detailed stretches and this has worked wonders for me. All in all I would highly recommend James as a coach as he seems to have endless knowledge and is very approachable with any queries
Darren - Sportif Enthusiast
I started a program with James after months of unstructured training where I wasn’t making much progress at all. I found the methods provided helped me to get into a easy routine with session lengths and workouts that tested me enough to see progress but not overdo it. After a few weeks I could feel my endurance increase which was my target and my energy levels remained good during the sessions. I found the program and apps easy to use and they have provided me with a strong base fitness to build on over the next few months. I would highly recommend James as a trainer to work with for his patience, support and style.

Meet James
Helping busy people become stronger on the bike, and in life.
Like many cyclists, I used to believe that better performance came from simply training harder.
Over time, I realised the biggest gains came from something else entirely: consistency.
As a husband, father and full-time professional, I understand what it's like to balance ambition with the realities of everyday life. Training has to fit around work, family and the unexpected, not the other way around.
Over the past two decades I've completed endurance events, studied cycling performance, nutrition and strength training, and spent countless hours learning what truly helps busy people improve. Along the way, I've discovered that fitness is about far more than watts, heart rate or race results.
It's about building discipline, resilience and confidence that carries into every part of life.
That's why I created Velo Peaks.
My goal isn't simply to help you ride faster. It's to help you become stronger, healthier and more capable, for yourself, your family and whatever adventures lie ahead.
If that sounds like the journey you're looking for, I'd be honoured to help you take the next step.
