As one who enjoys reading about and trying new training aids a power meter was purchased. I very quickly realized that I neither had the knowledge nor understanding to use this new cycling device. A friend suggested speaking with Jim Cunningham…a well-known athlete and coach. I enlisted Jim to teach me the necessary skills to train with a power meter and improve my overall cycling, if possible.

To my amazement it was possible. I was able to increase my power output and endurance enough to give me the extra that I needed to finish the marathon portion of the Ironman World Championship which led to a first place finish in my age group.

Jim’s experience, knowledge, patience and personal approach to your training program will help you develop discipline, endurance, and strength both physically and mentally. He is the weapon of choice for achieving success with your cycling.

Coach Cunningham was my first choice to prepare me to compete on the national level. He came highly recommended and after our first meeting I hoped he would be willing to take me on. Simply stated, I do not believe that I could find a better cycling coach in the country!

I chose Greenville Cycling Center because I had heard testimonies of others who had busy lives and still found success on the bike through the tough, but understanding philosophy of GCC.

After only two months with GCC I watched my Functional Threshold Power increase 10 watts. I’m excited to see where I’ll be when the 2010 season starts!

I chose Greenville Cycling Center because Coach Jim has the experience to get me and those I coach set up correctly on our tri-bikes. I send everyone I coach to Coach Jim for bike fitting.

Since having Coach Jim give me my first proper bike fit I have had less injuries and been able to optimize my power output. Not only that but this year after fitting my new bike I was able to PR on the bike portion of an Ironman. I contribute a lot of this PR to being dialed in on my bike fit. I could not have done that without Coach Jim and his expertise. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to work with a coach of his caliber right here in my backyard.

Jim Cunningham with Greenville Cycling Center provides me with a structure of easy to accomplish yet effective power based workouts that are both intensive when I need it and non-intensive as well.

After 15 years off from racing I returned to the sport after hiring Jim as my coach. During the first two years of growth I have lost 35 lbs, seen significant increases in strength/power, decreases in body fat% and I am in the best shape of my life. The future is full of opportunities!

Why Greenville Cycling Center: I liked Jim’s approach of balancing my performance on the bike along with my comfort, he assessed my goals and did my fit accordingly. I also appreciated that he was not trying to sell me anything, so any upgrades or recommendations he made were based on improving my fit, not increasing his sales. A bonus was being able to return after my fit for adjustments that might need to be as I continued to put in miles and get acclimated to my bike.

My husband and I both went to Jim for a bike fit and were pleased with his assessment, ideas for improvement and most of all the time he took to make sure we had the proper bike fit. He did a great job of assessing our goals and adjusting our fits accordingly. He has also been very helpful after our fits in making adjustments and tweaking things as we give him feedback on areas we would like to see changed.

Jim Cunningham has coached me to attain goals that I would not have attained otherwise. His coaching and racing knowledge have been instrumental in creating Annual Plans down to Race Day advice and Post Race analysis that builds confidence and plan adjustments to help reach higher goals for the next big event. Each step of the way throughout the year Jim has been an invaluable asset to me to achieve my aspirations as an amateur bike racer.

Jim has a passion for coaching and cycling that resonates through his interactions with emails, phone calls and workout plans. I am currently in the best shape of my life and have been bless to be able to continue to compete and be competitive in a sport that I truly enjoy and Jim has helped to make it a rewarding experience. Ride On!

I needed a professional fit to optimize power on the bike while minimizing fatigue. I am fairly new to cycling and so I needed to see the bike fit “guru” and that describes Jim perfectly!

Jim is the most knowledgeable guy I’ve ever met when it comes to bike fit. His fit is worth it’s weight in gold as far as I am concerned. I was fit on both my road bike and time trial bike. I immediately saw a 1.5 mph jump in my training average speeds, and over the course of one year, I saw a 3 mph jump in my racing average speed! As a triathlete, I need to be able to come off the bike leg of the race as fresh as can be for the run. Not only have I accomplished this with the help of a proper fit, but I have been injury free after logging thousands of miles on my bike. I am very comfortable on my bikes, especially my tt bike. Now instead of lower back fatigue, I feel comfortable and relaxed in the aero position. I attribute this to fit Jim gave me!

I chose Greenville Cycling Center because Jim is a long time friend and inspiration to me.

I have worked with Jim in the past and he has always been a tireless worker on my behalf. Recently, he has helped to refocus my mind and energy. Jim has helped my get my head back in the sport. Did I happen to mention that Jim is genuinely one of the nicest guys you could ever meet?
