Jordan Welsh Strength & Conditioning

About

Hi, I'm Jordan Welsh

I'm a strength and conditioning coach with a simple goal: to make you a stronger, faster and more durable rider. Over the last 9+ years I've coached everyone from professional rugby squads to youth academies — and along the way mountain biking became the sport I love most to train for.

My approach is straightforward. Every exercise has a clear purpose, the training fits around your riding, and you'll always understand the "why" behind what you're doing. No fluff, no guesswork — just a plan that gets you results on the trail.

Qualifications

MSc Strength & Conditioning — Northumbria University
BSc Sport & Exercise Science — Edinburgh Napier
ASCA Level 2 Coach

My Training Ethos

Person Over Performer

Prioritizing long-term development and "Human First" foundations, progressing into short-term performance spikes.

Capacity Over Complexity

Building a broad, resilient physical base before introducing high-intensity or sport-specific specialization.

Empowered Athletes

Teaching athletes the "why" so they can focus on consistency, resilience, autonomy and communication.

Simple, High-Trust Environments

Blending science with intuition to create a fun, purposeful space where simplicity drives consistent results.

Stronger Off The Bike. Faster On It.

Why MTB athletes need strength training.

Force Absorption

Absorb impacts from jumps, drops, corners and rough terrain. Build eccentric strength to handle whatever the trail throws at you.

Injury Prevention

Strengthen joints, tendons and stabiliser muscles to reduce crash severity and overuse injuries from long rides.

Power on Climbs

Generate more force through the pedals with stronger legs and core. Attack climbs instead of surviving them.

Endurance Under Fatigue

Maintain body position and bike control deep into long rides and race runs when others fade.

Core Stability

Control the bike through technical sections with a stable platform. Better cornering, pumping and manuals.

Faster Recovery

Bounce back quicker between rides and race days. Train more consistently through the season.

Testimonials

What Athletes Are Saying

“Since starting with Jordan, I have been able to get in the gym knowing I have the support needed to get the absolute most out of my training. He is super knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to any questions about the personalised programming, as well as being able to assist with tweaking techniques to make sure everything is done safely. I would recommend Jordan to anyone wanting to start or continue getting moving and training!”

Lucas B

“Working with Jordan has made a huge difference for me. I've been dealing with ongoing sickness, and he's been really understanding and flexible, adjusting my training so I could keep moving forward without pushing myself too far. His programs are super well organised and make a lot of sense, which has completely changed how I approach training and riding. I've noticed insane improvements since I started working with him and I'm really grateful for the impact he's had on me.”

Lucy V

“Since training with Jordan I've seen clear improvements in my power-to-weight and overall on-bike performance. Heading into the World Cup season I feel stronger, more balanced, and ready to go. The programs have been spot on for both riding and general strength. Couldn't recommend him enough.”

James M

“Jordan has been there from start to finish for my ACL injury. From working together 4 days a week he's been a huge help. I've managed to bounce back faster than I could have imagined. He's helped build strength back into my leg and just helped in all round strength and conditioning. All in all Jordan has helped me massively in my return to sport.”

Tyrone L

“Working with Jordan has made a huge difference for me on the bike. Since training with him I've noticed I've been able to push harder without crashing because I can ride out of mistakes that I would have crashed from before. I've also noticed when I do crash, I bounce back quicker and avoid the big injuries. This works well because Jordan tailors the plan specifically to me, meaning I can work the plan around my riding and other training.”
