YOUTH SPONSORSHIP
The future of our cycling sports is something I think a lot about and something I have been involved in for a long time. Back when I was just an active volunteer in the scene I thought it was super important to get the youth involved and to give extra help to those that are working real hard to compete or make it as a professional racer. I offer a variety of different sponsorship rates for each individual athlete, it is extremely fulfilling to be working together to help these young people to work towards their dreams and hopefully make them a reality.ā

TESTIMONIALS
I’ve been working with Steve since Jan 2023 and in that time he’s helped me progress from a good local rider to a National Champion. It’s great having a coach who really gets the sport of MTB and specifically Enduro, so he can tailor the training to exactly what is needed, both on and off the bike, being a rider himself really helps him to put himself in my shoes.
One thing I really appreciate is his ability to build a training plan around what else is going on in my life. Whether it’s work, school or weekends away - he’s really good at customising the riding and gym work so I can keep a good balance in my life but still achieve the results.
He’s sends regular plans, tips and updates, and has always been there for me whenever I’ve needed any last minute advice.
Thanks Steve.
Lachie Ross - NZ Enduro U21 National Champ 2024
Steve began coaching me in July 2023 during my first year in U19. Since the start he has been supportive, understanding and enthusiastic about my cycling as well as everything else in my life.
At the beginning Steve and I talked about what my short and long term goals were and ever since then I have had complete confidence in his knowledge and experience in being a coach after seeing how he used that to shape my training. He has supported me in working towards my goals this year and achieving much higher than I had expected.
I entered 2024 aiming for top 10 finishes and improving my standings from the previous year. Steve encouraged me to dream big and believe in myself, and his outstanding training programs fueled my success. He helped me go from 15th place finishes to winning the entire NRS and CHB tour along with many other achievements I am super proud of.
Steve has coached me in the gym, on the road, and has helped me out a lot with my mental approach to things, tactics, and nutrition. I really appreciate his all-around support, which has made a huge difference in my performance and overall growth as a rider. I would highly recommend Steve no matter what level you are at. He is awesome!
Mikayla Perry - Junior Road
Working with Steve has been a revolutionary step in my training, and I can genuinely say I wish I'd started with him earlier.
The programs are varied but very purposeful and it never feels like a chore to get stuck in. His feedback and attention is spot on, listening and adjusting the workouts to fit in with your life while making sure you are accountable to your goals.
I could not speak higher of the whole experience, and the results exceeded my expectations.
If you are looking for top quality training, Steve is your man!
Bryn Dickerson - Elite Downhill
I have been working with Steve since August 2020, his dedication and attention to detail are what have helped me create a strong relationship with him. I spent some time searching specifically for a cycling focused PT and it makes a huge difference working with someone who has a high understanding of the sport you compete in. Prior to working with him I outlined my very big goals for a racing career and he has worked hard to bring me structure and knowledge to help me work towards these, whether it be in or out of the gym. This year we set some goals for my first overseas racing block many months in advance. I managed to tick these all off and even get results that I didn't think I could achieve. Without working with Steve on the coaching side of things I don't think this would be possible, to be able to step back and critically evaluate limiters, and structure training so it is properly balanced with rest, is something i have struggled with in the past. I think having someone who can step back and evaluate your participation in a sport and offer advice is something that is second to none.
Jesse Cseh - Elite Enduro
Steve is an amazing and enthusiastic mountain bike coach and personal trainer. I have been working with Steve for over a year and in that time I have seen a huge improvement in my training load, performance, and recovery.
As a mountain bike coach, Steve has an incredible depth of knowledge and experience when it comes to developing a tailored training plan. He is encouraging, understanding, and great at planning a training regime to fit around lifestyle demands. Steve has helped me to identify areas where I can improve, and then implement them into my training plan while also providing trustworthy advice around pre-race activities, fueling strategies and recovery.
Steve is also an excellent personal trainer and creates personalized and challenging workouts that are specific to my goals. He has clear and concise instructions and is really careful in making sure I am doing each exercise correctly to prevent injury.
Steve is genuinely invested in my success and is always there to offer encouragement and support. He is passionate about what he does, and it shows in his enthusiasm and energy.
I would highly recommend Steve as a mountain bike coach and personal trainer. His expertise, dedication, and passion for helping his clients achieve their goals make him a true asset to anyone looking to improve their performance and get on those podiums!
Gabby Buchanan - Elite XC
I can't recommend Steve enough! Not only is he a top bloke he has been instrumental in helping me get a lot faster on the bike. I've always been self trained but got to the point where I couldn't solve the problems that were stopping me from being competitive at the pointy end of races. Working with Steve in the gym for the last 6 months along with all the extra nutrition, training and racing tips and advice along the way has made all the difference in getting me to the front of the pack.
The biggest advantage Steve offers over being self taught is that despite the vast range of information and resources available on the internet and elsewhere there is no substitute for having someone who can look at you as an individual, figure out what's wrong and translate that into action and results. Thanks mate!
Jonathan Halliwell - Masters Road
I have been working with Steve since July 2019 and I can honestly say that he always goes the extra mile, he is committed to enabling his clients to strive towards their goals. Saying this, he is also 100% honest and will say it as it is. For me this has been so beneficial, when I have needed to step back he has talked me through the rationale. His sessions are fun, relevant and bring about results. He is like no other Personal Trainer I have had, to Steve you are a whole person and his sessions are holistic.
Hazel Harrison - Ultra Runner
I hate getting up early. Like so much that every morning before I drive to Miramar I come up with a million excuses as to why I can’t make it to my training session with Steve. But, despite this reoccurring theme, I always drag myself out of bed, because I know I’ll feel a hundred times better after training.
And this isn’t just because Steve is a nice guy who is great to chat to (true), or because I am enroute to the Olympics and absolutely need this training to succeed (definitely not true) – it’s because Steve’s approach to training is good for both my mental and physical health.
I have been training with Steve since July 2019, including before pregnancy (when I was fairly fit), during pregnancy (right up to four days before!) and post baby (starting two months after).
Steve is incredibly good at customizing his training to each individual’s needs, be it that day, that week or that period in life. He puts immense effort into researching and ensuring that the exercises are suited to your goals, your sport and your abilities.
Basically, I would highly recommend working with Steve. It will make you a happier, healthier person!

I thought I knew how to get reasonably fit and ready for an Enduro race.
But, since working with Steve, I have realized what proper training looks like.
Steve has been able to get me into shape to get a top 10 Masters placing at an EWS race in Whistler (Enduro World Series).
There was a heap of hard work in there, but Steve makes sure that the training fits with everything else that is going on in my life.
Super approachable and nice guy. Also has so much information on all aspects – training; nutrition; race craft. I feel pretty lucky to work with Steve.
Three months out from my first endurance gravel race, I approached Steve for coaching to help me with my preparation.
Steve created a fully customized program and provided support with all aspects of my training, including fueling and pacing strategies to compliment the on the bike workouts.
His ability to communicate both what you need to do and how it contributes to your end goal is incredible, and provided me with a strong base level of understanding.
Steve planned my weeks to match my schedule an get the best out of the hours I was able to commit to training. He was on call for any questions that arose throughout the training block and arranged regular check-ins to discuss progress.
I entered the race in the best shape of my life and was wrapped with the result.
I couldn't recommend Steve's coaching highly enough!
Jan Verberne - Brevet
Since August 2022, Steve has played an invaluable role in helping me achieve my cycling goals.
Before I started working with Steve, I was spending a lot of time training, but wasn't sure if I was using that time effectively. I wanted to improve my race times but my main goal was actually just to be able to keep up with my local weekly group rides.
Throughout our time working together, Steve has been incredibly patient and supportive. In addition to being an absolutely expert on all aspects of fitness and nutrition, he has really been on the journey with me as I have learned what it means to work with a coach.
Steve has gone above and beyond to make sure that I am comfortable with my training plans and that I understand the rationale behind each workout. His personalised plan for me has been the key to my cycling fitness and performance improvement this season - working with Steve has totally transformed my cycling.
Thanks to Steve's coaching, not only am I now comfortable joining most local group rides, but I absolutely smashed my race goals at TaupÅ and exceeded my own expectations for nearly every event this season. There’s no way I would have made this progress without Steve and I recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their cycling fitness and performance.
Lots of people have asked me what I’ve done to improve so quickly and I always say - I just do what Steve tells me to do! I am confident that anyone who follows his advice will also see dramatic improvement and I wholeheartedly recommend Steve to anyone looking to take their cycling fitness and performance to the next level.
Colby Raley - Masters Road
In 2020 I broke my pelvis in a car vs road bike crash which took me longer to recover from than I’d anticipated. As I approached my 50th birthday I really wanted to see if I could regain some form and be as strong as I’d been prior to crashing.
I asked Steve for help in the spring of 2022 and with his careful, wise and holistic coaching I am stoked to say I’m now competitive again at a level I’d thought now beyond my abilities - recently achieving a bronze medal at Age Group Nationals.
There is no doubt this is something that would have remained beyond me without Steve.
His training plans are very clear and efficient.. and clearly effective! He is never too busy to answer even the dumbest of questions and is always encouraging and supportive.
I couldn’t recommend Steve highly enough- he is a fantastic coach and a genuinely decent human.
Belinda Fuller - Masters Road
My name is Steve Wallace, I am an Irish born (1977) fitness professional who lives between New Zealand and Ireland, my two lovely homes.
I have been riding bikes since I was a child and have always had a deep love of just being on a bicycle, Its just the best feeling!
I moved to Dunedin in 2005 and started doing local XC events and added in, racing DH when I moved to Welly in 2009.
As soon as Enduro arrived, I was into it, what a great format and as I hit my 40s, I fell in love with Road bikes and Breveting.

After riding the length of NZ on a MTB in 2018 (Tour Aotearoa),
I decided to go the extra mile with my fitness and find a gym based personal trainer to get me to the next level.
I could not find any PTs with the cycling knowledge and reference I needed.
So off I went back to college where I trained to the NZQF Level 5 (Advanced) standard of fitness professional.
In 2020 I started learning at TrainingPeaks University to enhance my knowledge of cycle coaching.
This education combined with my 25 plus years in factory and retail management, my knowledge of bikes, racing, having fun and attention to detail give a very complete package to my clients.
