Athlete training platform Humango has confirmed its partnership with ‘From The Ground Up’, a documentary series that chronicles the journeys of four novice athletes, tackling some of the toughest rides in the US.
According to a release from Humango… ‘The collaboration marks a significant step in Humango’s commitment to empowering athletes to achieve their fitness and race day goals through data-driven feedback after each workout.’
At the heart of this collaboration is the utilization of Humango’s technology and Hugo, Humango’s AI digital coach, to guide the athletes towards the finish line of the 2024 SBT GRVL ride, held this year on August 18 in Steamboat Springs, CO.
Serving as the ‘Official Coaching Technology of Season 4’, Humango will offer riders in the documentary access to its training platform, enabling personalized training programs and insights tailored to each athlete’s needs.
The partnership showcases Humango providing support to four individuals, as they gear up to conquer the 125-mile SBT GRVL course. The four athletes taking part in this year’s series are: Brandilee Coon (Denver, CO); Kristen Meyers (Denton, TX); Richard Wright (Lincoln, NE); and Lou Martinez (Lafayette, CO).
“When training for a goal, we see so many people who have no idea where to even start,” said Ryan Petry, Co-Founder of From The Ground Up.
“Humango offers the guidance and adaptability of a personal coach, but at a more attainable and sustainable price tag for athletes just beginning to get their toes wet. We are really excited to be working with Humango, as they pave the way for what will inevitably be the future of personal coaching.”
As this project gets up to speed, Humango will establish a special social group within its app, fostering a supportive community where contestants can share training tips, offer encouragement, and forge connections with fellow riders. This initiative lays the groundwork for a potential virtual training club, allowing past contestants and fans to train alongside season 4 participants in the future.
“We didn’t hesitate to jump in to support both the athletes participating in the 4th season of From The Ground Up, as well as the greater FTGU community,” said Franko Vatterott, Head of Partnerships for Humango.
“When we saw the motivation and drive of this season’s contestants, we felt it was a perfect match to the typical Humango customer, athletes with big goals regardless of their starting point.”
Humango’s team of coaches will play a role in guiding the athletes towards their personal goals. Coaches Pav Bryan and Raeleigh Harris will provide expert support for the male and female athletes respectively.
