Cycling-specific strength & conditioning at UNTIL Soho: what riders gain in power, position, and durability, in their words.
"Ben is not only an exceptional cyclist, he's exceptionally good at helping others train, prepare and get the most out of themselves, whether that's on everyday rides or events. He has a deep understanding of the types of strength training that will make a difference on the bike. In my case, he really helped me in preparing for the Vatternrunden (at 300km this was way further than anything I'd done before)."
Nick Benwell
"I have genuinely been blown away by how much better I feel in all aspects of life and the performance gains are pretty amazing too. I've hardly ridden outside this winter and my hours trained has been even less than the usual not many but I've hit PBs on the watt bike for some of those difficult length efforts in the 5-20 min range. I started with body weight and a few kettlebells and then took the plunge with Ben L (and Lizi B as they work together) at their gym in Soho and I cannot recommend it enough. Turns out I didn't need to be too concerned about getting stacked either as I still fit in my skinsuit but my back doesn't hurt when I get off the bike!"
Richard Todd
"Along with my mate Nick, I have been having regular PT sessions with Ben for over ten years. Currently twice a week. I have achieved my goal of cycling up Mont Ventoux annually for the last 10 years, I am 58 and have no intention of stopping now. Thanks Ben, for all the targeted training and advice."
Pete Brownlow
"Despite struggling on the bike for about 18 months due to a condition I've recently discovered called Chronic High Performance LEA, I've always been a much better lifter than I am a cyclist (plus I'm REPs Level 3 PT qualified and was a strength & conditioning coach for bristol uni), so I don't say this lightly. I've spent years digging into this stuff, bought 10+ books and cyclist-specific strength programmes, it's obvious when you know, that cyclists are leaving a lot on the table - not just power, but injury prevention, resistance and health span. The programme I've had from the team has been better than all of that. No exaggeration. It's been a game-changer for me as it gave good clarity to the unrelenting chaos."

About Supertraining
Supertraining is cycling-specific strength & conditioning, based at UNTIL Soho in central London. Founded in 2004 and built on more than 20 years in performance coaching, the brand exists to do 1 thing properly: the off-bike work that makes you faster on it. Higher power across every duration, a lower Coefficient of Drag (CdA) you can actually hold, and the durability to stay strong deep into a long ride: built through structured, periodised coaching, not luck.
The edge is who is coaching you. Both coaches are competitive cyclists themselves: between the 2 of them, 6 qualifications for the age-group Gran Fondo World Championships, 5 Ironman titles, a National 100-Mile Time Trial title, plus Time Trial and Hill Climb wins and racing in the HYROX Pro category. So the cues, the programming, and the reasoning behind every session come from people who understand speed, aerodynamics, and rate of force development from the inside. Most of the riders we work with are time-poor professionals with serious goals; we build the work around the hours they actually have.
There are 3 ways in: a £299 Performance Assessment to set an honest baseline, in-person coaching from £120 a session (or £1,000 for a block of 10), and 3 online tiers from £99 a month for riders who train under their own steam. Whichever route you take, the principles hold: adaptation comes from the right training stimulus, progressive overload, and real recovery, and the goal is the same, stronger on the bike, more comfortable in an aero position, and harder to break.
How It Works
Every rider starts with an honest read of where they are: riding history, goals and events, old injuries, position on the bike, off-bike strength and mobility, and the time they realistically have. Nothing is assumed. That baseline is what every programming decision is built on.
Your plan is structured and periodised around your riding calendar, with the right balance of maximal strength, rate of force development, durability, and mobility. The off-bike work is sequenced so it complements your time on the bike, not competes with it, and fits a demanding schedule.
Adaptation follows the right stimulus and real recovery, so progress is driven by progressive overload: load is earned, not chased, and tracked against meaningful markers. We feed back in both directions and keep evolving the plan so your fitness is there when your event is.

FAQ
Everything is built for the bike, by people who race it. Your programme targets the qualities that make a cyclist faster and more durable: power, rate of force development, the strength to hold an aerodynamic position, and resilience over long rides. It is strength & conditioning with a cycling specialist’s eye, not general gym work in cycling clothing.
No. The strength work is built around your power-to-weight goals, so you develop force where it makes you faster without piling on mass you do not want. Well-coached, targeted strength training raises your force production and durability while keeping you in proportion for performance, that is the whole point of doing it properly.
Done well, structured strength & conditioning tends to reduce injury risk rather than raise it. We assess first, load conservatively, and coach technique within every set. If you have a current injury under treatment, we ask you to clear it with your clinician and we coach within whatever they advise: your long-term riding matters more than any single session.
For most riders, two well-chosen off-bike sessions a week return the most for the time invested, sequenced around your key rides. We build the work around the hours you actually have, not an idealised week: time-efficient training that complements your riding rather than crowding it out.
Not at all. We work with committed riders across the spectrum: sportive and gran fondo riders, time triallists, and racers. What matters is that you want to ride faster, stronger, and more comfortably and are willing to do the off-bike work. The programme is built around your goals, whatever level you ride at.
A Performance Assessment is £299, in-person coaching is £120 a session or £1,000 for a block of 10, and online coaching runs from £99 a month across three tiers.
