Cycling Coaching in Midtown Manhattan

Performance cycling coaching offered at Physical Equilibrium

Cycling coaching that respects your body and upgrades your engine

Physical Equilibrium’s cycling coaching is built for real riders: commuters turning into endurance athletes, weekend warriors chasing faster group rides, competitive cyclists dialing in performance, and triathletes who want stronger bike splits without burning out. We take a coaching-first approach — assess your current training base, injury history, schedule, and goals — then build a plan that progresses intelligently and stays sustainable.

Training can be supported in-person from our Midtown Manhattan location at 515 Madison Avenue, remotely for NYC riders who travel, or fully virtual for athletes outside the area. If you already work with us for strength training, Pilates, nutrition, or massage, cycling coaching integrates cleanly into that ecosystem so your program is unified (not conflicting).


The Initial Cycling Assessment

Everything starts with understanding how you ride today — and what’s realistically possible given your time, recovery bandwidth, and goals.

During your assessment we evaluate:

  • Training history + current weekly volume (what you’ve been doing, what’s worked, what hasn’t)
  • Goal clarity (speed, endurance, weight/fat loss support, race prep, climbing strength, FTP improvement)
  • Injury history + movement limitations that affect cycling mechanics and recovery
  • Performance baselines using heart-rate zones and/or power data if you ride with a meter or smart trainer

This assessment becomes the foundation for a plan that progresses without random intensity spikes — because that’s how riders get overtrained or injured.


Program Design, Periodization & Progression

Cycling gains come from the right work, at the right time, with the right recovery — not from “always going hard.”

Your plan is built around:

  • Structured phases (build, peak, taper) based on your calendar and goals
  • Endurance development for longer rides and stronger finishes
  • Speed + power sessions that are purposeful and dose-appropriate
  • Recovery strategy so your legs actually adapt

We also integrate supporting work that most cyclists ignore until it’s a problem:

  • Mobility + stability work to improve mechanics and reduce compensation
  • Strength training recommendations (and coordination with your Phys EQ trainer if you’re already here)


Data-Driven Coaching (Without Overcomplication)

If you ride with a power meter, smart trainer, or heart-rate monitor, we use your data to make better decisions — not to drown you in charts.

We can incorporate:

  • Heart rate zone training for aerobic base and recovery control
  • Power-based intervals to improve FTP and repeatability
  • Cadence strategy to reduce fatigue and improve efficiency
  • Terrain-specific planning (climbing, flats, wind exposure, indoor trainer blocks)

The goal is simple: better fitness, fewer wasted sessions, and steady momentum you can actually maintain.


Injury Prevention & Smarter Recovery

Cyclists commonly deal with tight hips, low back irritation, knee tracking problems, neck/shoulder tension, and overuse fatigue. We coach around those realities — and coordinate with your providers when needed.

We help you:

  • Reduce overuse patterns with targeted stability and mobility work
  • Adjust workload when life gets busy (without losing progress)
  • Recover faster using better structure, sleep strategy, hydration, and supportive services
  • Integrate Phys EQ services like Pilates, strength training, nutrition, and massage for a complete system

Cycling performance improves when your whole body supports the bike — not just your legs.
