Fitness coaching is NOT included in any of the programs above. Our awesome coaching staff will be offering coaching for the 2026 season with the potential for additional high quality, educated and experienced coaches added. We will each have our own pricing and program levels depending on athlete needs. This move has been done to help lower the cost for those with their own coach and also to allow a more tailored and streamlined system when using one the Gravity coaches.
Scholarship and Mentorship programs-
We will be offering financial scholarships for those who qualify and based on available funds for each program.
We will also be offering mentorship positions for those who qualify.
Mentors will have responsibilities at each event attended, dedicating time to work with team members on track walk / pre-rides, Go Pro reviews / course strategies and post race trackside coaching if available.
Compensation through comped team fee and lodging during events will be provided to mentors.
An ideal mentor is someone who shows a high level of dedication to themselves (disciplined in their training and wellbeing), their race craft (overall attention to details like bike prep and maintenance, participation and attention in track walk and pre-rides and their own level of coach-ability) throughout the race weekend and is still seeking to compete at a high level.
