Casey Brown has collaborated with Revelstoke, BC-based Mountain Made Fitness Collective to build a training program specifically geared towards female mountain bikers.
The program is designed to improve on-the-bike performance as well as reduce your risk of injury by mixing functional fitness with bike-specific accessory work. The focus for the accessory work is to help develop bike-focused core stability and upper body strength. Brown says this is something she would have loved when she was establishing herself in the sport of mountain biking.
| I aim to create what I would have wanted as an up and coming athlete. When I was coming up in the sport I spent a fortune on bike specific training, I would seek out trainers from motocross, surf, and well-established mountain bike trainers. As a team, we’ve combined our knowledge and built out a program to target specific areas for female MTB athletes.—Casey Brown |
The program delivers daily workouts in an app where you can interact with Brown, Mountain Made Fitness Collective's Turner Moyse and Stephanie China, and other athletes. It costs $14.99 per month with a yearly commitment, $19.99 per month with a six-month commitment, and $24.99 with a month-to-month commitment.
There is a full gym option that requires access to a fully equipped gym set up including barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, a pull up bar, skipping rope, and cardio equipment such as a rower and a bike, as well as a home/tavel option that requires minimal equipment.
The program includes:
- 5 training sessions per week
- 3x strength sessions Monday/Wednesday/Friday
- 5x conditioning sessions
- 5x bike specific accessory work
- Daily mobility sessions
- Movement video library / Scaling substitutions
- In app communication and coaching
- Access to fitness community pages
| From my years riding professionally I have spent a lot of time training in the gym. Now working with Mountain Made Fitness Collective for the last 3 years I have seen the benefit and difference from following a full body program focussed on functional fitness with bike specific accessories.—Casey Brown |
The program starts January 1, 2024, but pre-sales are available now.

New female with testosterone berries shows up to the race and wins by 5 mins.
I love to see this type of stuff for inspiring youth, joke aside just wish that some of the racing bodies would keep women’s cycling fair. No hate, just common sense.
If you want to be insanely fit for DH, buy a moto and hit the track 1-2 days a week as well. Won’t charge you for that VIP tip.
If you aren’t an advocate of moto then I don’t care about your opinion anyways, gross
