Njinga Cycling: Your Total Cycle Training Solution

I have been coming to classes at Njinga for nearly a year and absolutely love it! I wanted to join the collective and take part in the outdoor rides, but completely lacked the confidence (particularly riding in cleats) Having just completed 2 outdoor sessions focusing on cleats and bike handling skills I am now feeling so much more positive about getting out on my bike! Josh was great - really encouraging and supportive, and we worked at a pace that was challenging yet comfortable. The whole team at Njinga are so welcoming, it is great to be part of a community where there is no judgement, just an eagerness to help and see everyone improve. Like I said, I love it!! More...

This is a fantastic place for cyclists of all abilities and I would highly recommend. I first came across Togo a couple of years ago when my husband (a serious cyclist) booked some outdoor one-to-one sessions for me. My road bike (a present from him a couple of years earlier) had been sitting in the shed unused for a couple of years largely due to the fact I was terrified of using cleats. During my first session with Togo, he made me practice clipping and unclipping until it felt natural. Whilst Togo is relentless, his passion is so encouraging and motivating, and he is totally respectful of the stage you are at. We did a couple more outdoor sessions which included gear changing, climbing and cornering and honestly, just after 3 x 1 hour sessions I felt so much more confident on my bike. I went on to successfully complete a sportif a month later, and not only achieved a great time, I felt happy and confident on my bike. I would really recommend this for anyone who wants to ride outdoors but feels nervous about any aspect of it.Recently, my husband and I completed a pedal technique course at Njinga. This consisted of 4 sessions with Togo really focusing on our technique in detail and then practising what we'd learnt in Njinga classes between sessions. As an amateur cyclist, I naturally had lots of areas of improvement but even my husband (cyclist of 40+ years) found it incredibly helpful. I attended classes run by Josh and Sam who were both excellent in terms of their knowledge and encouragement. I think there is a big difference between a "spin" class at a gym and a session in the lab at Njinga - they're not really comparable. It's true that there's nowhere to hide in an Njinga session (which would normally scare me off!) but everyone (including other class members) is so supportive - Njinga just want you to be the best cyclist you can be and will help you get there.

Having entered and completed Ride London, I had caught the cycling bug. I was a little sceptical at first but I decided to bite the bullet and sign up to 3 classes at Njinga Cycling. (First impressions where that Njinga was just for professional cyclists. But it's far from that). The team and all the other riders were extremely welcoming, enthusiastic and helpful when I joined my first class. After 3 classes I was signed up to complete my FTP test, something I never thought I would end up doing. I've gone from being a complete novice to completing two programmes (Fire Starter Programme, and Climb Like a Pro) with Togo and Josh, and seen a huge 33 watts increase in my FTP score in just 8 weeks. As well as improvement in my training quality, strength, overall health and performance. Big thank you to all at Njinga and the coaching team. More...

When I joined Njinga I had been forced to quit triathlon due to constant injuries and cycling had always been my favourite of the 3 disciplines so I decided to focus on that. But I lacked any goals, anything to aim for and a little motivation! Njinga gave me all of that and more. It not only helped me improve my cycling, my skills, speed and endurance but it also inspired and encouraged me to try racing in Time Trials, team Time Trials and to even try road racing by starting in the Race pen of the Tour of Cambridgeshire. It has provided me with a whole community of new friends, people to ride with and opportunities to enter events with like minded people. Triathlon can be a solitary sport but by cycling with Njinga I learnt how much fun group riding can be and the skills and techniques involved in this. It has provided me with so many cycling opportunities and experiences that I wouldn't be without it! More...

So after a slightly over indulgent Christmas I subscribed to the Fire Starter Programme to improve my cycling and get myself focused on something. I had a lot of questions in what to wear, what shoes and timing etc..well let me tell you that the team here are fantastic and make you feel right at home! Turn up about fifteen minutes before your first session and get measured up and you are away :) The coaching staff are brilliant and the people are really welcoming! You will soon get to know all the attendees and you will soon feel part of something special. If you want to take your cycling to the next level in technique, fitness and power then look no further!!! Give it a go and embrace the change :) More...

Did a pedalling technique class here which was one hour long, and it's improved me more than anything else I can think of in years. The wattbike analysis quickly revealed that my technique was pretty poor, even though I cycle a lot. This was easily fixable and after some practising the better technique has become second nature. In the week after going I improved my average power over 45 mins by about 10% and took 90 seconds off my lap time for Richmond park. I've booked in for some 1:1 coaching sessions now to see if I can improve even more. Well worth a look if you're looking to improve. Many thanks Njinga. More...

My friends talked endlessly about Njinga and the famous Togo while I remained a bit sceptical - partly to do with price. In the end, after seeing their cycling improve no end, I decided to give the Pedal Technique classes a go and swallow the cost. How I wish I had started with Njinga earlier and taken the pedal improver class when I started cycling! Improvements to the way I pedalled (not as hard as it sounds), a range of classes in the week to improve power output, a talk on nutrition and the freshly made protein smoothies led to a marked improvement in my cycling. Togo himself is an incredible motivator. I can honestly say I pushed myself to my limits for him and in response to his encouragement - but not just for him - for the other trainers at Njinga too. They all know how to wring the maximum from each cyclist in the room and Togo knows just how much you are capable of - and it's always above what you expect from yourself. I come away from classes truly exhausted and dripping with sweat but each weekend, out on the bike, my friends say to me 'Wow your cycling has improved!' I could not recommend more highly. Money very well spent! More...

I cannot recommend Njinga enough if you want to improve all aspects of your cycling performance and experience. I have just finished the Ride London programme. During the programme the camaraderie and team spirit of the other riders motivated me through the toughest of sessions as did the encouragement and support of the coaches. Having never considered myself a hill climber I am now climbing faster than ever and climbs like Leith Hill are nowhere near as daunting as they used to be. The facts speak for themselves. By the end of the programme I produced the ride of a lifetime reducing last year's time of 5 hours 32 minutes to 5 hours 11 minutes. I now have the belief to reduce this time even further and take my cycling into new possibilities! More...

Hi All This year I took part in the Marmotte in the French Alps (174km, 5,100m climbing). Throughout the winter I trained at the Njinga lab a couple of mornings per week on Wattbikes. The Mountain Goat sessions were brilliant. They helped get me fitter and stronger and I learned how to manage my efforts. This meant that I could ride at a good intensity knowing what was sustainable. Njinga sessions also give an objective perspective on fitness progress. In the winter when weather is challenging, speed on the road is variable (and often disappointing !!). The Njinga lab meant that I knew I was heading in the right direction while waiting for the sun to come out. The coaches do a nice job with group training - encouraging for less experienced people and pushing those looking to step their cycling onto better levels. In general Njinga has figured out how to mix social and performance (eg Gran Fondo) cycling. I targeted a 7 hour net time. This was ambitious - I didn't really know whether it was possible. To cut a long story short I finished in 6:47, well within my goal which is fantastic. Thanks to Togo, Leigh, Jason, Diego, Jo and Josh. David Finn More...

I have just completed my first training programme with Togo and the team at Njinga and cannot rate it highly enough! I'm new to Wattbike training, and a relatively inexperienced road cyclist, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and my cycling has improved massively. It was a steep learning curve and the sessions were physically very tough, but my power output has increased significantly, I hit a target I thought was way beyond me and I learnt a lot about pushing myself mentally. I was nervous about joining the programme, but I didn't need to be - Togo, Leigh, Josh and the team made me feel welcome immediately. The coaching and, importantly for me, the support and encouragement is top notch. Aside from feeling stronger in the lab, since starting with Njinga only 8 weeks ago, my pedal technique has improved massively (thanks to a fantastic 1-2-1 session) and I'm much more confident riding out. I’m enjoying cycling more, I've met some lovely people to ride with and really feel part of the Njinga family. Njinga offer the whole package; fantastic indoor training, social rides, skills sessions, yoga and (most of all) great support, encouragement and camaraderie. For me, it was worth every penny and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any level of cyclist. More...
