Coach Lori Thomson

I initially focused my sports career around soccer and became a semi-professional soccer player, and choosing to pursue my academic career with a full scholarship instead of professional soccer helped lead me to my passion of fitness. I became a strength coach in 2007 and a triathlete coach in 2011. After I started racing Ironman, I realized how much I enjoyed being on the bike, which led me to become a cycling coach. I have dedicated twelve years to coaching cyclists from Ironman training, mountain biking, century rides, and gravel races. 

After years of racing and competing, I am happy to now spend my time coaching athletes. Even after seventeen years of strength and conditioning coaching, eleven years of movement screening, and twelve years of cycling coaching, I will always continue to learn ways to improve my coaching to enhance an athlete's capabilities. I'm currently pursuing a Doctorate in Human Performance focused on performance biomechanics, fatigue limitations, and injury prevention, and I am the head contributor of UESCA Strength and Conditioning Certification for Endurance Athletes, which is launching in 2025. I will always diagnose an athlete's movement to prescribe the optimal path for peak performance.
