"I started training with Matteo in December 2013. Since then my Lactate Threshold and Power has increased significantly. I follow everything Matteo puts in my training plan, and it works.
I don't have to worry about losing weight now either, because since I began training properly, and in a controlled manner with him, my weight stays low without any loss of power.
On top of that, Matteo does everything with a smile on his face, and he makes sure that training with him is fun and enjoyable. I couldn't recommend him highly enough."

"After three years of regular cycling I was frustrated with my progression and decided to seek the help of a professional. Matteo Carrara came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. My cycling has been transformed in just a few months. I am now gliding past cyclists that I have previously considered to be superior to me.
A structured training plan that is continually tweaked and improvements in technique under the watchful eye of Matteo has been the cornerstone of this improvement with a focus on increasing power and weight loss. I’m looking forward to seeing continued improvements in my cycling performance."

"Matteo's coaching is inspirational -his coaching plans have helped me improve dramatically going from a junior interesting in cycling to a junior with a future in cycling. My maximum power has improved by over 30% over 4 months and is still increasing by not only following his training plans but also his eating advice, correct cycling position -in fact the whole first class package."

"Hi my names Dean, 44, and returning to cycling after hip replacement, with Matteo i lost 11kg of Fat, gained lean muscle and endurance and upped by power threshold by 60 watts, all in 6 months, the 11kg came off in 3 months. Great coach, infectious personality and a level of knowledge we are privileged to have!!."
Dean
"Matteo is a great coach. The results I've had with him have been remarkable. In the 6 weeks that I've been coached by him my threshold power has increased by 40 watts! He is a top guy, full of energy and enthusiasm, always super helpful and supportive, and makes great efforts to be available and answer any questions. His coaching goes beyond the training plan, looking at every area of performance, whether it be bike fit, nutrition, race strategy, or even his technique for packaging sandwiches to open one handed! And because of his pro background you know that he's incredibly well qualified to help you be the best you can be. .
I've never had a coach before Matteo, and now I would really recommend it to anyone. Whatever the level, if you're interested in improving I'd take what you were thinking of putting towards a new bike and put it on the best coaching. I can't imagine having a better coach than Matteo."
Nick
"In my first 4 weeks of training with Matteo, the biggest change I noticed was in my weight. I didn't think I had a significant amount of weight to lose, but still managed to drop 10kg in 4 weeks without any loss of performance. I was never hungry, it was just a case of eating the right things and as opposed to eating less.
Following the bike set-up my saddle went up by 4cm and my strem extended, both adding to my comfort on the bike for the longer rides. After the first 3 weeks I was able to take 1:30min off of my personal best time over a 19km TT.
Some the sessions are hard and trying to incorporate other activities has left me feeling tired for workouts, but Matteo is very adaptable and has managed to adjust my training to allow me to compete in Crit races at the same time as preparing for the Wiggle Dragon Ride.
Looking forward to my ongoing work with Matteo and the future improvements yet to come."
Chris
"Fantastic coach and program! In just 3 months the performance gains I have seen following Matteo's program are very real. From being last on the climbs to now always in contention in the group, the program works. With flexibility, specificity and an all-round focus it has given a real edge to my training. Matteo himself is the perfect coach, always encouraging, always dedicated and a real source of expertise. If only he could teach how to gain the superior style of an Italian pro cyclist."
Colm
"Working with Matteo has been a genuine inspiration. Having access to a man of his pedigree and experience presents a unique opportunity to take modern day learnings directly from the pro peloton. I came to him with a rather unique challenge on my hands. To race the Dolomites on my single speed. As well as a wealth of knowledge and direction we have also put in place a structured training program that has encouraged commitment from me. 2 months in an I have already captured a 11% increase in my power to weight ratio. Another 4 months to go. I would say wish me luck, but with Matteo, I don't feel like I need it."
