Former British pro cyclist and hour record holder, Alex Dowsett, has revamped his coaching business, Thighs Club, aimed at cyclists of all levels.
Thighs Club is designed to take all of Dowsett’s training and experience and offer riders personalised coaching plans that will help them reach their goals and improve their performance.
Essex-born Dowsett has won multiple national and international titles throughout his career. He is a former Commonwealth Games gold and silver medallist as well as holding the prestigious Hour Record. After his international success and retirement from the pro cycling scene – he is working alongside his wife, Chanel, and business partner, James Milard.
The revamp of Alex Dowsett’s cycling programme coincides with the recent release of his latest book, ‘Bloody Minded: My Life in Cycling’. It offers an account of Dowsett’s journey through the world of professional cycling, showcasing his pursuit of success despite the challenges posed by haemophilia A, and providing an insider’s view of the golden age of British cycling.
Alex Dowsett said “Since retiring I’ve been looking for what’s next, but I always knew it would be around making other people better cyclists.
“So, I couldn’t think of anything more rewarding than supporting both new and experienced riders to achieve their goals and help them fall in love with the sport and progression. I believe that cycling is for everyone, and I want to help as many people as possible experience the joy that comes from riding a bike – whether you’re looking to compete at the highest level or just want to improve your fitness and wellbeing.”
The Thighs Club coaching programmes offers riders a range of different plans to choose from, depending on their goals and budget. It is also designed to be accessible to riders of all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals.
Dowsett added “I’m constantly learning and improving as a cyclist, and I want to bring that same spirit of innovation to my coaching team. I have some exciting plans in the works, and I can’t wait to share them with riders around the world.”
Alex Dowsett has won multiple national and international titles throughout his career. He is a former Commonwealth Games gold and silver medallist, 6 time National Champion and twice a Giro D’Italia stage winner as well as formerly holding the prestigious Hour Record.
Dowsett is also the founder of the charity Little Bleeders, which supports young people with blood disorders. He is one of only a few elite professional sportsmen with haemophilia and has made it his mission to encourage young people with bleeding disorders to participate in sport, particularly swimming and cycling, as a way of managing their condition.
