Strength Training for Mountain Bikers: Ride stronger, climb longer, hit more of the fun stuff.

A hands-on strength workshop with Forest Coach Matt McHugh designed to help mountain bikers build the power, stability, and durability that actually translates to the trail.
If you’re getting gassed on climbs, skipping trail features you’d love to ride, or finishing rides with tired shoulders, hands, or an achy body, getting stronger off the bike can make a big difference.
In this two-hour workshop, Matt will show you how to use simple, minimal-equipment strength training to support the way you actually ride.
And because this is Forest, you won’t just be handed a list of exercises. You’ll learn why they matter, how to perform them well, and how to build them into your training without unnecessarily exhausting yourself during riding season.
