Meet The Team

Chris & Ellie

Strength coaches and cyclists who live and breathe performance. Our mission is simple, help cyclists become stronger, faster and more resilient.

Chris

Chris came late to cycling, but certainly not to performance. With 30 years of coaching across a range of sports, his own success on the bike soon became another lesson in what great training can unlock. The deeper he got into cycling, the clearer the missing piece became: strength training. And from there, Barbells & Bikes was born.

Ellie

Ellie is fascinated by how much untapped potential strength training can unlock in cyclists. Detail-driven and highly individual in her approach, she loves figuring out what makes each athlete tick—building strength that translates to the bike, supports life beyond it, and keeps them riding for years to come.
