Movement is personal. Whether you’re chasing performance goals or looking to feel better in your body, you deserve support that’s grounded in real experience, not guesswork or off-the-shelf advice.
At Venture Performance, we work with cyclists and runners who want to move with more ease, train with more purpose, and enjoy the process. We offer a quiet space, a clear head, and the kind of support that grows with you. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to human performance.
I’ve made the mistakes, done the long miles, and found the value in doing things well, not fast. My role now is to help you do the same: train smarter, avoid setbacks, and build something sustainable.

Cycling is one of those sports where the margins matter. In comfort, in power, and in mindset. Whether you’re preparing for a multi-day event or just want to ride without discomfort, our bike fitting, coaching, and recovery support is tailored to you.
There’s no upselling here. No fluff. Just practical changes, honest feedback, and a focus on helping you ride well, not just ride more.
Common reasons cyclists come to us:
✓ Ongoing pain or discomfort on the bike
✓ Preparing for a big race or endurance event
✓ Aiming to improve power, positioning, or recovery
✓ Balancing life, work, and performance training
✓ Wanting experienced insight into what actually works
Running has a way of showing us both our strengths and our limits. Whether you’re coming back from injury, struggling with consistency, or simply want to enjoy your training again, we’re here to help you move better and stay in the game.
Our work with runners isn’t just about quick fixes. It’s about building resilience, creating clarity, and finding rhythm in a way that fits into real life, not just a training plan.
How we help runners move and train better:
✓ Strength and conditioning for durability and form
✓ Recovery strategies to support sustainable training
✓ Sports massage therapy for ongoing care
✓ One-to-one coaching for clarity and accountability
✓ Support for road, trail, mountain, and cross-country athletes
A lot of clients come in with questions, not answers. Do I need a bike fit, or is it a strength issue? Should I train through this, or back off? What’s missing from what I’m already doing?
That’s where experience helps. We’ll figure it out together, without overcomplicating it. Often, the path forward becomes clear in conversation.
