About Bill Gros

Bill Gross, Peaks Coaching Group Elite/Master Coach creates customized training specifically designed for you. With appropriate amounts of structured and unstructured training, along with rest, your fitness levels and racing results will reach new heights! If you are competitive and willing to raise your fitness level through consistent progressive training, this may be the sport for you!
 
Bill simplifies bicycle racing to the components necessary to race effectively. We focus on the basic skills needed for cycling: effective pedal stroke, bike handling skills, core strength, sustained efforts, accelerations, sprinting, cornering, and climbing. Sixty to seventy-five percent of cycling fitness is developed through muscular endurance to allow the body to sustain the volume and work required to compete. Proper endurance training enhances, maximizes and stabilizes the energy use systems. This is the single most important requirement for a
new competitor during their first years in the sport and it is re-established annually by the experienced competitor. In addition to on-the-bike conditioning, we also firmly believe in a program called Core Performance which enhances athleticism, agility and power.

TESTIMONIAL

Sticking to the Plan

"I came to the sport three years ago without any endurance athletics background. After a frustrating half-season of Cat 4 racing, I started working with Bill.  I didn't immediately follow the plan entirely at first, and my race results reflected that. Bill challenged me to follow the plan and after a hard block of training I earned my first win, a second place finish, and my Cat 3 upgrade immediately followed. An offseason of training gave me FTP gains, a double peak season, podiums, and my Cat 2 upgrade. If you are serious about being serious, Bill can provide the structure, consistency, and careful planning that will make you stronger, reduce your limiters, and help you become a complete rider and effective teammate."
