My friends, Javier Pineda, Nick Kempen (full disclosure: Nick is also my personal trainer, but more on that in a future posting) and Anthony Pedraza are the brains and brawn behind One Pedal Stroke, an online individual and sports performance training and coaching company. They provide personal and individualized training plans along with frequent communication and adjustments to keep you on track and making continual progress.
In addition, they conduct a great Saturday morning bootcamp at 8am at the Ferrino Sports Fitness Club located on the Miami River at 341 NW S River Drive. It’s a fantastic way to start the weekend - a high-energy cardio hour long workout.
One Pedal Stroke is primarily an online experience. Javier, Nick and Anthony offer programs at three different levels: 1) a basic program aimed at the beginner that builds a strong foundation to prevent injury, 2) a premium program that is aimed at the experienced workout person that needs more discipline and a little extra push to keep them focused on their goals, and 3) a professional program that pushes people to their limit and beyond.
They put their weekly workout videos on their internet site, on their Instagram site and on YouTube to keep you motivated and moving. You can purchase a variety of their training programs aimed at all levels and types of activities, including triathlon and marathon training. They also provide metabolic efficiency and vo2max testing to help you establish training zones for developing your aerobic capacity. You can also contact them online for a one-on-one consultation about your fitness needs, or your progress using their programs.
I have known these guys for a number of years and can attest to their knowledge of exercise and strength conditioning, their ability to train athletes (though I am not one of those!), their desire to see people succeed and their integrity and professionalism. And they’re good guys – they push you and work you hard, but with a smile on their faces!
So check them out online at www.onepedalstroke.com. They are also on Facebook at One Pedal Stroke and Instagram at @onepedalstroke. And check out their Saturday morning boot camp – 8am at Ferrino Sports Fitness Club (www.ferrinosports.com). It’ll set you back only $20 a week.
