Hi My Name Is Liz

I'm on a mission to help women mountain bikers feel STRONG, EMPOWERED, and CONFIDENT on the Trails!

I'm Liz, Doctor of Physical Therapist and strength and endurance coach. I started my journey through struggling on the trails... feeling left behind... and Honestly - just not having fun on the trails like I knew I should be able to have, just a feeling of defeat. And we all know the negative self talk that comes from that... 

I have been through many struggles in life - A lot of them physical. They set me back - diagnosis of chronic pain, terrible digestive issues, and bone and joint infection in my foot. (thankfully I still have my foot).

I previously was a division 1 soccer player. I knew what my body was capable of doing - I think that made it all the worse when I was struggling so much on the trails. Not making the climbs, having to sit on the side of the trail to not pass out. 

So I started designing programming and diving into the research for strength and conditioning. I knew that I needed to feel better, get stronger, and change my life!

​I have learned that I'm not the only one who has struggled on this path and have designed programs to help other mtn biking ladies - who want to feel different on the trail - but are "normal" ladies. Not wanting to spend all my time working out - but wanting to see the difference on the trail. 

​The Ride Life was born. 

In these programs I have used my Doctor of Physical Therapy Background and my engineering background to balance women's body's and guide through the activation and strengthening of muscles for better riding and control on the bike. 

Helping ladies to feel them using their glutes and not just quads, to support their back not stress it, and to improve posture for better breathing and neck support. 

I hope you enjoy and know that I too have been in your shoes... feeling lost, defeated, and wondering if I could get stronger. ​​
