The APTS Philosophy

cycle_thumb

Aerobic Power Training Systems is based on this simple principle: in all endurance sports, the faster you wish to perform a given amount of work, the more power you will need to produce to do so.

The foundation of the APTS approach is supported by the research of Dr. Jon McGavock and reading his article, Aerobic Power and the APTS Philosophy is a great way to understand our methods and mindset.

Testimonials

"I've had an entirely full season of bike racing. There hasn't been one race I have not been prepared for physically. The specificity of training has kept me in form for every race situation and discipline: road, criterium, and time trial."

APTS has prepaired me enough to move up an entire category within 3 months, and you know what? No injuries! I've definitely made a smart choice."
