This is Grant doing an FTP test. Grant loves this stuff.

You don’t have to.

FTP is the effort you can hold over a sustained stretch, and we use it to set your training to you. It’s not pass or fail. There’s no good or bad number. Grant’s number is for Grant. Yours is just where we start.

Then you retest roughly every three months, so you can see the change instead of guessing.

Your first session is free. Book here: vbike.gymmasteronline.com

Getting back on the bike after a hip replacement?

First thing: when you start is your surgeon’s or physio’s call, not ours. It depends on how you’re healing and how your operation was done. Different surgeons give different restrictions after a hip replacement, because the operation and the person are different. Follow the ones you’ve been given, not what you read online.

Once they’ve cleared you, here’s what you can expect from us.

You won’t do an FTP test. That’s the fitness test most of our riders start with, and it’s not the right starting point after surgery. Jianni sets things up around where you actually are.

You should know this up front: our bikes are standard upright bikes. We don’t have recumbent or step-through bikes. Getting on and off without twisting your hip is a real consideration, so check with your physio that you’re ready for that, and give Jianni a call on 09 215 2136 before you come in so we can talk it through.

Effort and time on the bike can be adjusted in small steps, and your session is set to you, not to the person on the next bike. You set the pace.

Low impact doesn’t mean no load. If pain is building rather than settling, stop and check in with your physio. If you get sudden severe pain in your hip or groin, feel like the hip has shifted, or can’t put weight on the leg, get urgent medical help. For sudden breathlessness or chest pain, call 111.

This is general information, not medical advice. Chat to your surgeon or physio before you get started, we want you back on the bike safely.

You don’t have to keep up with anyone here.

Your effort is set from your own FTP and heart rate. Not from the person on the next bike, and not from whoever’s loudest. They’re doing their session. You’re doing yours.

That’s the point of measuring. It tells us what’s right for you today, so there’s no guessing and no comparing. You can’t change what you can’t measure.

Six and a half weeks to Taupō. Here’s where a lot of long rides go wrong: the first hour.

You’re fresh, your legs feel good, and the people around you are going hard, so you go with them. It feels easy. It isn’t. That effort comes back to bite you a few hours later, when there’s still a long way to go.

Start slower than feels right. If you can still talk in full sentences, you’re about where you should be. You can always pick it up later. You can’t get back what you burned early.

That’s what the numbers on the screen are for. Heart rate and watts in real time, so you know what you’re actually doing, not just how it feels. You can’t change what you can’t measure.

Easy rides are supposed to feel easy.

Most riders know that. Plenty still ride them too hard. Going a bit faster feels like it should count for more. It doesn't. It just leaves you too tired to do the hard sessions properly, so everything ends up somewhere in the middle.

Here's a simple check. If you can't talk in full sentences, you're not riding easy anymore. Back off.

In the studio, your heart rate and watts are on the screen as you ride, so there's no guessing. Your first session is free. Book here: vbike.gymmasteronline.com

Seven weeks out from Taupō. Have a look at your tyres.

They're the only thing between you and the road, and they're easy to forget about until one lets you down. In this clip, Tim runs through a few different tyres and what each one's built for.

Taupō is seven and a half weeks away. If it's on your calendar, the long ride is the one to sort out now.

Not the fastest ride. The longest one, at a pace where you could still hold a conversation. That's where you find out what your legs, your backside and your stomach think about a few hours on the bike, while there's still time to fix it.

Indoors is good for the steady work in between, and the screen shows you exactly what you're doing. If you're training for Taupō, your first session with us is free. Book here: vbike.gymmasteronline.com

When can you get on a bike after a knee replacement?

Honest answer: that's not our call. It's your surgeon's or your physio's, and it depends on how your knee is healing, not on a date on the calendar.

Part of why the advice online looks all over the place is that the bike can do two different jobs after a knee replacement. Early on, some physios have people rock the pedals back and forth under supervision. Later, once your team is happy, riding becomes a way to build some fitness back. Two jobs, two stages. The early work belongs with your physio. We come in once they've cleared you for exercise.

When you do come in, you won't do an FTP test. That's the fitness test most of our riders start with, and it's not the right starting point after surgery. Jianni sets things up around where you actually are.

We've got five separate rooms, and some only have two or three trainers, so you're not riding next to a room full of fast people. Time on the bike and effort can be adjusted in small steps. You set the pace.

Low impact doesn't mean no load. Your knee is still working, so if pain is building rather than settling, stop and ring your physio.

Your first session is free. If you'd like to know what it looks like before you come in, give Jianni a call on 09 215 2136.

Chat to your surgeon or physio before you get started, we want you back on the bike safely.

Doors open at 5:30am, Monday to Friday.

If mornings are the only time your week leaves you, that's what the early start is for. Ride, then get on with your day. Done before the day's asked anything of you.

Eight weeks until Taupō. And the clocks went forward on Sunday, so there's light after work again.

Use it. Eight weeks is enough time to build, not enough to waste. Steady rides that get a bit longer each week will do more for you than the odd big day.

The second photo is why we measure. Heart rate, watts and cadence on the screen in real time. You can't change what you can't measure.
