Strength. Endurance. Speed!
NCCH offers off season (October through to March) training programs using our Ancaster studio, as well as a remote virtual training option (see below). In addition to our current Adult, Youth Recreational/Pre-comp and Competitive off season training programs we are introducing two **NEW** off season programs this year!!

*NCCH's Cyclefit program at its Ancaster studio located at the Morgan Firestone Arena.
The studio is equipped with CompuTrainers which are smart stationary bike trainers that you connect your bike to. The CompuTrainer has a load generator that applies resistance to the rear wheel of your bike simulating the terrain of real pre-programmed courses that the rider sees on a computer or TV screen. As you ride your bike, the CompuTrainer will put more or less resistance on the back tire of your bike, as though you are pedalling either uphill or downhill. The pre-programmed courses are provided through apps such as Racermate and Zwift. While you ride you can see your avatar and other cyclists cycling the course and you can even draft off other cyclists! The coach can upload specific training plans to meet your goals and you can track your key performance metrics such as your time, speed, power, and distance and how you did relative to the training plan. Unlike a spin class, you are using a real bike – either your own, or you can rent one of ours!
** NCCH's remote Cyclefit program allows you to participate in our group training in the comfort of your own home!

- This is what you need to participate:
- iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC computer, or an Apple TV.
- Any type of bike (will require a smooth slick to be put on rear tire).
- Either a smart Stationary Trainer or a classic Stationary Trainer. If you are using a classic trainer you will also require a speed sensor installed on your bike that can communicate via ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart. If you’re using a PC, you’ll need an ANT+ dongle. Click here for a good explanation on the difference between a smart trainer and a classic trainer.
