Getting Started

Thank you for your interest in our coaching services. We are here to help you reach your potential while having a great time in the process! (This page is designed to guide you in the sign-up process as one of our new monthly coaching clients. If you need further information on our services please review the other pages for additional details).

First, please check with Kim to see if she (or another EFC Associate Coach) is available to add a new client.

Secondly, we ask you to complete our Athlete Startup Interview (for our "Champion Cycling and Multisport" athletes) or our Fitness Startup Interview (for our "Fitness Coaching" clients). Personal training clients should contact Kim directly and set up a fitness assessment instead of filling out this interview. This detailed interview will provide information to help us coach you more effectively. So, please take some time to fill out as much as you can.

In fact, let's review in detail the Startup process each of our athletes go through:

Each new client completes a "Startup Interview" packet to detail their athletic background, goals, medical history, family/work commitments, coaching expectations, etc. (This form is available on-line to print out, complete and send to your coach).
We establish training zones (including HR, power and/or RPE zones) for each athlete and baselines to build on throughout the season. If you have been racing recently we can use this data or field tests will be completed.
We establish and prioritize goals for the upcoming season (s) based on an your individual strengths/weaknesses, as well as your motivation. For example, some athletes we coach are motivated to compete in an epic century ride in their area while others may be training for the World Championships.
An Annual Training Plan, which is "the big picture" for each race season, will then constructed with key races/events to focus on for the upcoming season.
This process takes approximately 2-3 weeks and will involve e-mail and one or more phone consultations to make sure we have all the information needed. A "start date" is then set for our first month of coaching together.

And finally, we ask that you send the appropriate fees to eliteFITcoach. Please contact your coach about payment details. THANKS!
