Vicious Cycle and Crucible Fitness have partnered to form the first Computrainer MultiRider studio and performance training center in Southern California. Together, Vicious Cycle and Crucible Fitness will offer endurance athletes a range of quality coaching and performance services, including Computrainer interval sessions and course rides, FIST certified bike fitting, Vo2Max and lactate threshold testing with the NewLeaf system, running form analysis, swim technique instruction with underwater video, and nutrition consultations.

Vicious Cycle is a new full-service indoor spin studio, located in the heart of South Pasadena. Vicious Cycle is also the first Computrainer MultiRider Center in southern California. The system features eight linked Computrainers, enabling athletes of varying ability to train and race together in a virtual reality environment. Coach Rich Strauss will use the system to design and lead interval training sessions, time trials, and rides of popular race courses programmed into the system. Endurance athletes can further augment their training by attending spin classes led by certified spin instructors or by scheduling solo time on the Computrainers.  

Crucible Fitness founder and head coach Rich Strauss is a Joe Friel Ultrafit Associate, a USAT Level I certified coach, an Ironman World Championship finisher, and former Marine officer and Team in Training head coach. He has personally coached over 250 Ironman athletes since 2001. Dozens of athletes have attended his training camps on Ironman courses, hundreds have used his affordable training plans featured on TrainingPeaks.com, and his training articles in Inside Triathlon Magazine, TriFuel.com, BeginnerTriathlete.com and Xtri.com have helped thousands more coach themselves more effectively.
