Fitness Training for Motocross and MTB Riders
Built for riders who strive for more.
Meet Your Trainer
James Rountree combines a decade’s worth of motocross racing experience with a Master’s degree in Health, Sport, and Human Performance.
Why Join The Riders Circle?
Specificity
MX & MTB are tough, we know, we do them. Using data, science, and real-world feel, we craft training plans that target the movements, energy systems, and strength that directly translate to performance on the bike.
Accountability
Accountability turns good intentions into consistent action. When you bring a coach into your circle, you gain perspective, direction, and someone invested in keeping you on track to achieve your goals.
Durability
You’ve heard “train smarter, not harder”, but I like to think of it as “train smarter, so you can train harder.” With a progressive structure and respect for recovery, we build durable athletes who perform week after week, resulting in long-term progression.
Testimonials
“I’ve only been working with James for a year, and I feel like I’ve gained that much in a short amount of time. I mean, we didn’t have a whole lot of bike prep coming into the season, but we still got it done, so I’m stoked.”
— Madoc Dixon (2025 MX2 NZMX Champion)
“Detailed plan specific to me and taking into account my mx events and goals. Highly recommend.”
— Ryan Mills
“After being sidelined for three years due to injury, I struggled to regain my strength and endurance—but with James’ expert guidance, I was able to rebuild and return to competing at the national level.”
— Adam Moss
