Meet Coach Frank
Beyond Category Coaching was born out of a passion for cycling and the desire to help athletes reach their goals and discover their own potential.
The company is led by owner and head coach Frank Pike who has been riding, training and racing bikes for over 20 years. He recently moved back to Nebraska–where he was born and raised–from Denver, CO where he spent many years racing, training and riding.
Coach Frank is a Level 1 Elite Coach with USA cycling and a Level 2 Premium Coach with Training Peaks.
Coach Frank also holds certifications in strength and mobility from Human Vortex Training. HVT is one of the foremost experts in endurance sports when it comes to learning how to move in the right directions off the bike so that it translates to on the bike performance. When you learn to move off the bike and become more durable, and stable, you have more fatigue resistance which means you produce more power for longer durations of time and thus go FASTER!
My Coaching Journey
It was not until I started competing in the Masters’ category that I realized I needed a coach. I went from an average racer who finished mid-pack and got spit out of the back, to a consistent top 10 finisher – even contending the final sprint regularly.
I would love the opportunity to bring my experiences as a cyclist and coach to work with you and help you attain your goals, whatever they may be. I am committed to delivering an awesome experience and improved results with unmatched customer service.
Beyond Category Coaching is founded on the belief that exercise science, experience, and an awesome athlete experience help athletes reach their goals.
Beyond Category Coaching aims to:
Provide top level coaching and customer service at affordable prices
Empower, motivate and challenge athletes to go beyond!
Combine the expertise of professionalism, experience and education in coaching all levels of cyclists
Provide complete personal coaching for the needs of each individual athlete
I often get asked. “How did you come up with the name Beyond Category Coaching?”
The name is taken from a French term hors categorie which translates to “the most demanding and toughest climbs”– they are beyond being categorized, so I wanted my coaching and the results that athletes get to be Beyond Category!
If you’re gonna go, GO BEYOND! See you out on the road!
