“Being told what not to do is sometimes more valuable than being told what to do. I am the strongest I’ve ever been, my FTP is over 300 watts and I am smashing everyone on the club ride."
 
  

"Not only did I achieved a 3h07 finishing time, but I was eighth in my age group and the 31st female out of 3,200 female participants. I hadn’t even been targeting a place – just a time! I had smashed my PB by a huge 31 minutes."

Michelle Sharland
Cape Town Cycle Tour 2019

"I was able to finish the Etape du Tour by pushing out over 500 watts and finishing in the top 5% in the sprint segment finish.   It’s amazing how much more one can achieve with the right professional help, thanks Togo."
 

David Salisbury
Etape Du Tour 2022

I qualified for the UCI Gran Fondo World Champs and improved my 100-mile time by over 30m from 5h15  to 4h45.  Njinga really develop you as a cyclist in technique, physical and mental strength & a level of confidence & discipline I hadn't thought about.

1. ON DEMAND VIDEO LIBRARY: You will get access to all our on-demand video content so you have the flexibility to train how you want by accessing content across all our training, fuelling and mind set areas, depending on what you need to work on the most.

2. ON DEMAND PROGRESSIVE PROGRAMMES: You will also have access to a library of progressive programmes focusing on training for specific events or improving certain competencies. 

It's simple: Sign up to the membership and you will be able to access ALL of the on-demand content at your own pace. There is a lot of content on the platform and we know not everyone trains the same way so we have also created set pathways for you to follow depending on how much support you need.

However you choose to access the content we will provide you with accurate markers to track improvements and progress. 

If you opted for the monthly payment option you will have access on a rolling month by month subscription. Your access will continue to roll over each month until cancelled. If you selected 6 months, you will have access for the full 6 months and it will auto renew for the next 6 month period unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. If you selected annual, you will have access for the full 365 days and will auto renew for the next 12 month period unless cancelled prior to the renewal date.

Everyone has different time commitments, but we recommend in order to start seeing results you invest at least 2-3 hours a week working on your cycling. This will benefit you both physically and mentally. Of course, if you have more time available we encourage more activity.

The results you can expect is entirely up to you and how much time you can invest into your training each week.  Everyone's goals, effort, and commitment will vary. We can't say for certain when you will get the results you're looking for, but many of our members start seeing positive results within the first 2-3 weeks. (if you commit to at least 2-3 hours of training a week and depending on which programme you are following.)

The majority of the content is in easy to follow video format but we also have a number of PDF documents and reading material for you to access.

All the individual session content can be accessed straight away. In set duration programmes the content will be drip fed weekly. We will be continually adding new content on a monthly basis.

The Njinga Cycling Academy includes a number of the individual online programmes, plus so much more! You will also find a library of immersive on-bike training sessions, recipes, meal plans, training plans, monthly challenges to keep you accountable, Q&As, reading materials, member benefits and individual videos all in one place for you to access at your own convenience and all at ONE price. The benefit of the online membership is you can pick and choose what content you access and when, for one low monthly fee.

The vast array of content you will find within the Njinga Cycling Academy has been carefully put together by our expert team of passionate coaches and instructors. All of our coaches and instructors are fully qualified in their own fields and all have experience of working with cyclists of different levels.

The Njinga Cycling Academy is also overseen by Njinga Head Performance Coach, Togo Keynes. From the start of his 20-year career, Togo has worked with thousands of cyclists, transforming them into strong, confident, and capable cyclists. His wealth of experience and qualifications include Level 2 Road & Time Trials British Cycling Coach, level 3 Advanced Personal Trainer specialising with endurance athletes, Holistic Nutritionist and a GB Masters Road Cyclist.

You can access the Njinga Cycling Academy from your mobile phone or desktop via a web browser.

That means where ever you are, from home, the gym or even on holiday you can still access the Njinga Cycling Academy and train anywhere and at any time.

The Njinga Cycling Academy is still suitable for you too! Even if you are a strong cyclist already, there are still areas of your cycling/training that you will need help with in order to ensure you continue to see improvements. If you have hit a plateau, have a big cycling challenge you need help preparing for, looking for some inspirations for new workouts and recipes or simply a great community of cyclists to keep you accountable, then the Njinga Cycling Academy is for you.
