"What I like is his approach. He does not flower things, giving you sound coaching, and ties this in with your age. He responds so fast that it catches me off guard! Service has become a lost art and I'm glad Scott offers not only good service but great coaching skills. ~Joe "Thanks for the fitting ... feels pretty good after several long rides -- definitely more power, no adverse handling, and less foot numbness surprisingly. Thanks again!" ~ John K. "The classroom clinic was outstanding! Scott
Saifer is energetic, upbeat and incredibly knowledgeable. He supported
his talk with first hand observations of his athletes as well as cited
research done by physiologists in the field. A representative slice of
the club was there -- fresh newbies, to experienced racers -- and we
all went away having learned something new. He totally pumped me up for the season. I
can't wait to get out there this Saturday!" "Knee pain is gone. Good job. Thanks." ~ Chris Baker
"Scott gave an excellent presentation to our team covering exercise
physiology, training strategies, peaking, and other topics of interest
to our athletes. The kids loved it, and learned lots from Scott. I
would recommend Scott's help for anyone who is trying to be fitter and
faster!"
Last Saturday I did the moderate climbing interval alternating
standing/seated climbing as per the instructions. I've definitely made
a big improvement in my standing climbing: its was easy to control my
hr and my legs don't burn like the used to. Practicing the technique
you showed me during the standing intervals (base hr) has helped a
lot. Going into the Ultimate Endurance workout with 8-9 lbs less
weight and two months of base training is making a huge difference too
(duh!) The diet guidelines are also
a huge benefit - I tried working with a nutritionist before but this
is the first time that I've gotten realistic guidelines that work for
both high and low activity days.
