Cycling coaching
for The love of The Sport
That’s me, number 3, quieting my mind prior to the start of GFNY 2019.
Teaching is my life’s purpose. I have been teaching, coaching, training and inspiring cycling students of all levels since 2004.
My teaching and coaching practice is focused entirely on helping absolute beginner through intermediate cyclists improve their lives through the development of a consistent cycling practice.
—Vito Valentini
Our coaching programs are designed to elevate the cycling skills and abilities of beginner as well as experienced cyclists
absolute beginner
You are new to cycling and are interested in learning basic skills
intermediate cyclist
You are comfortable riding your bike and want to get stronger, improve your cardiovascular fitness, participate in longer group rides, and sign up for cycling events.
relative beginner
You know how to ride and would like to improve your skills, confidence, and fitness through cycling.
event participant
You signed up for an event - GFNY, Ramapo Rally, a triathlon - and are eager to complete the event in the best possible time
Reasons to train with Gavia
Belonging
Members of our GAVIA Cycling Tribe encourage and support each other to be their best possible self.
Confidence
Cycling skills develop incrementally over time. Our coaching programs and group rides are designed to work with cyclists at their level, offering specific training and encouragement along the way.
Enjoyment
While most of us are not trying to be pro cyclists it doesn’t mean that we can't dream and imagine as we train, participate in group rides and sign up for GFNY events. Our coaching and training is designed to work with students/athletes where they are now, with an eye toward what they can become.
The development of a cycling practice, similar to one might find when studying martial arts, is a process of continuous improvement.
Embracing Cycling as a Practice provides us with mental, physical and emotional benefits that carry through into the other aspects of our lives
Each of us benefits from receiving feedback from a coach, teacher, mentor - someone whose purpose is to help us improve our lives by sharing their knowledge and experience in a specific area; mine is cycling.
