Testimonials
"I have been spinning with Larry
Zimich for 4 years, and I can say the 1-1.5hr
sessions at Studeo 55 with Larry are absolutely
critical to my pedaling efficiency and technique,
power and cadence training and overall
fitness." Todd
Heintz
"Larry has taken me from a
struggling Cat 5 participant to a competitive Cat 3
cyclist in one year, I have improved all areas of
my ability to race harder and smarter under his
guidance. Following Larry's training program
eliminates the tendency to second guess a self
prescribed program thereby freeing my mind to
concentrate on training and
racing."Bob
Welbourn
"In one season with Zimich Coaching, I
went from being "off the back" to finishing with
the pack in road races. In my second season, I
became a contender in Cat4 races and earned podium
finishes in Masters events. Following the Zimich
Coaching program, I improved dramatically in every
area: climbing, time trialling, sprinting,
criteriums, road racing and cyclocross
too. I gained confidence in the pack and learned a
lot about race strategy while vastly increasing my
fitness level. On top of that, I had fun and
enjoyed training with motivated
racers." Bill Riley
"Just another character building
day in the Zimich Zone! We joke about it but the
reality is that my cycling has improved
dramatically, both mentally and physically, since I
started training with Larry and Barb. They've
turned a participant into a competitor."

Andrews
"Endurance athletes are often
talked about regarding their natural 'engine size'.
The world class professionals are the V8~V12,
super-charged engines.. I regard myself as a V4,
but more like a 'finely tuned turbo-charged V4'
thanks to Larry Zimich's dedicated coaching and
racing experience. He has been able to squeeze out
improvements in me that I honestly never thought
possible. It's definitely more fun being able to
ride faster." Albert Nomura

"I wish I had met Barb and Larry
years ago. The improvement I have realized since
joining them has been phenomenal!"

"My wife and I enlisted Zimich
Coaching in January 2008 with specific goals in
mind: improving both our riding fitness and
technique. While this has certainly been the case,
our athletic abilities in other sports are
improving as well. Specifically distance running
and skiing. Zimich Coaching is applicable to all
cycling disciplines, with core fitness benefits
that can take you to new levels across the
board." Eric &
Saskia Kjode
"Joining Barb and Larry and the
Zimich coaching team is probably the best thing
that has happened to me in years, in terms of my
future in triathlon. I've gone from dreading
getting on my bike, to eagerly anticipating the
weekly group training sessions and spin classes.
I'm approaching this racing season with a new-found
confidence, realizing that yes, I can reach the
goals I've set out for myself. 'Zimich Coaching'
might as well be an synonym for success, since
training with Barb and Larry sets you on a path of
progress and improvement."
Karen Forsman - Triathlete
"Cycling with Larry and Barb has
given me a whole different outlook on 'the bike'.
In 2002, at the age of 40 something I learned how
to swim and ride a bike so I could do my first
triathlon. This year I will complete my 3rd
Ironman, but with a difference both physically and
mentally, thanks to Larry and Barb's coaching. They
have shown me that if you set goals instead of
limits, there are no limits to what we can achieve.
Now I look forward to every ride (even in the dark
and the rain!) because I know that every workout
brings me closer to reaching the goals I have set
for myself. Although the workouts are always tough
physically they are also extremely mentally
challenging and exhilarating at the same
time."
Catherine Pettit
"I've been able to work with
Larry and Barb for 3 weeks now, and have
experienced more improvement in my riding than the
last six months of riding on my own. The insights
Larry is able to pull out of my training diary
amazes me, and his workouts are tough, but very
manageable. I can easily say my bike handling
skills, comfort riding in groups, understanding of
the logic behind the practices, the mental
components required, and the knowledge of my own
limits has all increased dramatically. I highly
recommend Larry and Barb for anyone dedicated to
increasing their riding and fitness
abilities."
Tom Jacoby, road cyclist age

"Thanks Larry..You and Barb
always make me look forward to coming out and do my
training, Ciao"
Joyce
"Larry's spinning class has given
me such a boost to my cardiovascular fitness,
strength, cycling form, and mental preparation for
competition. My personal cycling ability has
improved dramatically over the past 3 years -- and
together as a group we've developed a great
camaraderie, sharing our pain and our
successes.
It has been really tough, but worth every bead of sweat!"
