They say if you want to go fast, go alone. However, if you want to go far, go together. And that’s what we did in the Cycle Lean Collective. I made many new like-minded friends who are all looking to be the best version of themselves. I learned about the eating continuum, from dieting to fuelling. And my performance improved. It was all made possible by the camaraderie that was formed as we all worked together. And a shoutout to our conductor, Neil, who orchestrated everything. Couldn’t have done it without him. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I did a 3 month strength & weight loss program with Neil & lost a total of 5 kgs over the duration .what I liked most from our first online conversation was the fact that it felt very comfortable to speak with Neil, I told him exactly what I could & could not do with my diet based on a very physically active job & he adapted a diet & exercise program around that ,would highly recommend Neil if you want to make changes to your life & get results

I found Neil on Instagram, the over 40’s grabbed me! Neil was supportive on and off the bike, over the past 4 months. My cycling has improved significantly since working with Neil. The training load was tailored just right for me. I’m very glad I took the plunge to work with Neil. Cannot wait to see where I am in another 4 months.

The whole package was brilliant and the results achieved (>12kg weight loss in 10 weeks; fitter; leaner; more muscle definition, FTP up 60 watts, VO2 max up 7 ml/kg/min) have been incredible - all expectations have been shattered. Neil’s coaching is very well tailored for the over 40s. It’s based around common sense and a straightforward balance of exercise, nutrition (real foods not powders/supplements) and rest. It recognises that there’s a real life to be lived and his guidance is pragmatic and easy to follow. Arguably the highlight has been the community support and the cheering of everyone’s successes.

Reached out to Neil after I overtrained for an event and was at a loss on how to proceed, Neil took into account my shift work and planned workouts around my lifestyle so that I was able to rapidly improve my fitness levels while having plenty of recovery. I highly recommend Neil as a coach as he has helped me get to where I wanted to be and gave some great advice regarding nutrition and rest, he is always on hand with any questions I have and the weekly updates and monthly one to ones are just what I needed. Thanks Neil !

The tools and resources shared made it easy to stick to a meal plan that's was food I like to eat. The training peaks app allowed me to get my rides in and did not make me too fatigued, so I was able to get through my work day without a problem. When I asked for help, it was provided, and the weekly feedback helped me stay accountable.
