Athletic Mentors made Michigan cycling history when it spearheaded what became Michigan’s only pro-cycling team through an initial partnership with Priority Health, a collection of community sponsors and Bissell. Today, we form an integral part of the Priority Health Cycling program, of which health and wellness outreach is a core mission. We train cyclists for pleasure, passion, or professional prowess, and are happy to create programs for small groups of individuals. Here are samples of some of the services we offer. Please contact us to discuss what kind of program you or your group would like developed.

Our coaches are experienced, educated and formerly professional athletes. We have coaches who specialize in cycling, mountain bike, ultra distance and multisport.

Mountain Bike Instruction (Price based on group size)
We offer both individual and small group instruction. Classes can be customized to suit the skill level and goals of the attendees and are typically conducted on one of the local mountain bike trails. Instruction can be designed for single or multi-day packages. You must have your own bike and helmet. This class will be instructed by a highly experienced, competitive cyclist. Contact us to schedule a session.
Professional Bike Fitting ( $275)
Work with an experienced coach to have your bike properly adjusted so that you can train without injury and maximize performance. This package includes 1 meeting for an initial fitting and 2 follow-up sessions within the next year. This allows the coach to make gradual adjustments, monitor impact on performance and avoid possible injury that could result from drastic fit changes in a single session.
