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." Judith 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

"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 43

"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!"
