TriColumbia is pleased to endorse our training partners, Spin 90 and TriFitness Training who provide clinics and training programs to prepare and support athletes at all levels for endurance events. Programs are designed to insure athletes participating in endurance events have a positive experience during the preparation stage as well as on race day.
The Spin 90 cycling training program by Coach John Hughes has been developed after years of racing, studying, and training with top level athletes. There are thousands of training programs, but the Spin 90 program goes beyond just a workout or ordinary training plan. John and his instructors break down the “how and why” of each exercise while simulating real life riding situations to make you smarter and stronger.
