-- World-Class Coaching comes to the South's Premier Sports Mecca --

(Colorado Springs, CO) - Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) has opened the doors on a new storefront testing lab and office facility located in the outdoor sports hot spot of Asheville, North Carolina. Long known for its temperate climate and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville provides a perfect backdrop for CTS's newest location. It serves as an ideal destination for athletes across the country to visit for performance testing and training camps with hundreds of miles of the South's best cycling roads nearby, including the legendary climbs which served as the backdrop for Lance Armstrong's famous return to the bike alongside his coach Chris Carmichael. The combination of world-class coaching and Southern hospitality promises to deliver a memorable and productive experience for athletes of all levels - recreational to elite.

People looking to improve their skills and aerobic capacity can now choose between traveling to CTS's Colorado Springs headquarters or Asheville for CTS's signature fitness and health evaluations, services, and training camps. These include:

· Physiological Tests to determine a person's fitness level and aerobic potential including VO2 max, lactate threshold, and resting metabolic rate.

· Private or Custom Training Camps with personal, one-to-one coaching for runners, cyclists, triathletes, adventure racers, or any other athlete or group of athletes looking to improve their game.
