D3 Energy Lab Opens in Boulder, Colorado!

Facility Offers World-Class Facility Indoor Cycling & Training

Boulder, Colo. – Mike Ricci of D3 Multisport is proud to announce the opening of D3 Energy Lab (www.d3energylab.com) at 3200 Valmont Street in Boulder. The Energy Lab is a state-of-the-art indoor cycling facility featuring CompuTrainer (www.racermateinc.com) equipment to provide riders with significant benefits in a short amount of time, no matter what the weather.

Up to eight riders can train at the same time, on their own bikes, on the same virtual course, which is projected onto the wall. Courses can be customized, and the system’s Interactive Real Course Videos allow parameters from famous courses (including Tour de France stages and Ironman courses) to be input and raced. This allows riders to measure their performance against one another, and themselves, as the system measures and records a variety of performance
parameters, including speed, calories and power output.

This networked, multi-rider feature allows CompuTrainer to provide the most interesting indoor bike experience available. USA Triathlon and USA Cycling test and train their athletes using CompuTrainer, which can help increase a rider’s cycling power 20 to 30 percent while boosting speed 2 to 4 mph; and now this technology is available to riders of all ages and abilities in the Boulder area. Classes are up and running and sessions are available mornings, lunchtime, evenings and weekends, and for a limited time, new riders can experience a session for free. See http://www.d3multisport.com/EnergyLab/schedule for a full schedule.

Available programs include Group Training and Coaching, enabling both competitive and friendly group sessions where each rider performs at their own level. The coach programs an individual athlete's threshold value and then creates a special "time-versus-percent threshold" workout for the athletes to follow as a group. Each rider then pushes themselves through the same workout, at their own workload.

The D3 Energy Lab fills a void in the Boulder cycling and triathlon community by providing coached indoor cycling, brick workouts using the facility's treadmills, and core strength options. There is nothing like it in the area that combines indoor CompuTrainer/treadmill workouts along with high-level coaching for individuals and groups. Riders who break out of their basement to experience the D3 Energy Lab will increase their speed and power and learn it’s not how much you train, it’s how you train. Punch passes, one-on-one, group and 8-week class sessions are available, along with corporate team building events.
