What Is The Grind?

The Grind is a specific, targeted, and progressive training system. Each work out is planned out in detail by Elite coach Matt Russ and builds upon the previous. The Grind is periodized and the goal is to hit you with the right type of training stress at the right time.

Why don't you use spin bikes? The first rule of training is specificity. You produce power differently on your own bike vs the upright position of a spin bike. Most spin bikes are not designed for a precise fit or training sessions over an hour.
Do you have options if I don't bring my bike? We do have several Cyclops 300PT stationary bicycles that are infinitely adjustable and available for use at an additional charge. The 300PT utilizes a Power Tap power meter and also has hr, cadence, distance, and speed metrics. The head unit is also uploadable for post work out analysis.
Can I incorporate power training into the class? Most definitely. If you do not have a power meter you can rent one of use one of our 300PT stationary bicycles. This is also a great way to "try before you buy." One of our power certified coaches can assist you in the proper use and function of a Power Tap.
What if I do not have a power meter? No problem. We have a parallel heart rate training plan.
How crowded are the classes? We have limited space and we also like to train our athletes in a smaller, more intimate setting. We cap the classes at 25 participants.
Do you do week end classes? If the weather is inclement we will put on an additional grind session of 2+ hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Please email coachmatt@sportfactory.com to get on the blast list for these sessions.
What can I expect out of a class? We are beginner friendly but we are not a spin class. Each class has a specific work out goal or target to hit. This means putting your head down and working towards a specific goal vs jumping around on your bike!
