"This will be my fourth year working with Kolie, and his hard work and guidance have taken me from a cat 4 to a cat 1. I think the things I appreciate the most about Kolie's coaching style are his responsiveness, his ability to adjust to changing schedules, and his scientific research behind training. I am a graduate student, so the time I can train is limited, but additionally it can change quickly, so having a coach that can respond to my emails or texts and change a workout has been crucial for me. In addition, I know I can always trust his planning and development of workouts to deliver me to the starting line in my top form. I would recommend Kolie to anyone to take their cycling to the next level!"
-Emma, 2x National Champion, 7x National Championship Medalist
"Kolie at Empirical Cycling has consistently helped me reach my cycling and multisport goals with the most friendly and professional interactions one can seek between coach and athlete. Empirical Cycling's one-on-one coaching, tailored training plans, and daily motivation are the reasons I continue to support this business as much as it supports me. Kolie hasn't just created a business or a collection of coaches, he has successfully fostered a real cycling family that loves and is eager to watch each other grow."
-Brandon, Duathlon National Champion
"I've been with Kolie and Empirical Cycling for three years now and have been extremely satisfied with both his coaching and my race results.
I've raced primarily road and track, with much more of a track focus in the recent years and Kolie has been open to addressing any and all of my goals therein. He programs both on and off bike workouts too.
Plenty of coaches out there write generic training plans and cookie cutter workouts for all their athletes while not really giving you the individual attention you need to progress as an athlete. Kolie's workouts and periodization schemes are tailor fit to your goals, secondary, and primary events.
Unlike some other coaching services out there every athlete with Empirical Cycling receives the same individualized attention to detail and care with Kolie. No caste system exists within his athletes and he is always open to email communication. No restrictions on questions, concerns, or feedback from him.
Kolie has coached athletes at every level from beginner new racers to elite nationals level and I highly recommend his services to riders looking to take their performances that next step."
-Kyle, Sprint National Champion
"Kolie has been the best coach I could have had the pleasure of working with! There are not many coaches who could successfully design a training plan around a time-consuming academic schedule, but Kolie has gone above and beyond to make sure that I get the most out of every minute of training. Kolie is always receptive to athlete goals and constraints, and I can't imagine that any coach could be easier to communicate with."
-Liam, ECCC Omnium Winner
Last year I decided to quit my job to embark on a long training and racing journey as an amateur road racer. Knowing Kolie from listening to the empirical cycling podcast, I decided to reach out to him for guidance and coaching for that project. Since I have been working with him my fitness and race skills have only been increasing and I amaze myself with the workouts and consistency I can now achieve. He has also guided my training through a rough traumatic injury recovery process, something there is now way I could have done without him. He is also very professional and adaptable by quickly replying to questions and being able to adjust the training schedule and workouts according to life situations that inevitably happen. Finally, the stress relief obtained by having an expert like him telling you when to push, and then giving you confidence that rest and recovery will make you faster (and it definitely does), is just invaluable.

Fabiano has been excellent throughout the last year and a half and I would happily recommend him to anyone. He's been great at understanding what I needed out of a coach and I've been very happy with the progress I've made under him. I've also been very appreciative of how he has understood and been patient with my struggles to stay consistent in motivation. However I think the evidence of his impact on my riding is best reflected in how he has successfully motivated me to stick to my training and get out on the bike more than I had done in the past 6 years.

Cory has been an amazing coach to work with. Even though workouts are scheduled in advance, depending on multiple factors from how you performed during the day's planned session to changes in schedule, Cory will take the time to analyze each workout, provide feedback and alter future sessions accordingly. His attention to detail provides the confidence that you are making the most of your training time. I also appreciated his responsiveness to any questions or concerns I had. He has a clear, concise communication style and you're never left wondering what you're attempting to achieve. It's been a lot of fun working with Cory to improve my performance as a cyclist. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for anyone looking to maximize their time and potential.
