One of the most dramatic and impactful decisions Gearlink Racing made as a team was to partner with Jeb Stewart and Endurofit in the fall of 2010. Within 4 months of working with Jeb our team has made the leap from just another competitive team in Florida to a dominant team in all categories entered from Cat 5 to Pro 1-2 and all Masters. We have also seen an increase in podiums on the dirt.
The reason we chose Jeb, and is proving our instincts correct, is he offers a tailored coaching experience that not only includes the workouts, but also resources, advise and feedback. With 80+ riders it is difficult to meet the needs of a new rider and a veteran in the same plan. Jeb does just that not only improving our performance but also binding us as a team under a unified direction. This creates a connection from Cat 5 to Cat 1 giving us that common thread to help every member reach their potential thus helping the overall team reach its potential.
I highly endorse Jeb Stewart and Endurofit Coaching.

After 2 years of racing without a single win and a horrible result at the 2011 State Crit I was ready to give up racing my bike. After some thought I gave Jeb Stewart a call to seek out help with my training and racing.
Jeb’s passion to help and intensity was the perfect match. After a few weeks of listening to Jeb's advice I had one of my best races of the year placing 3rd in the Naples Crit and followed this up with a win in the time trial.
Four weeks later I scored my first win ever in a mass start event at the Pal Stage race. The race was a Pro123 event and I was in the middle of the winning break with three Pro12 riders. Jeb really worked with me on race tactics and what to do in different situation this paid off.
Thanks to Jeb I am the current Cat 3 points leader and looking forward to finishing off my season strong. If you want results or feel like you are not getting the most out of your training I would highly recommend contacting Jeb.

I’ve been working with Jeb for just over 3 months now and in that short period of time he’s really put me on the right track to attaining all of my annual goals. Working with Jeb I get the whole package…being a female athlete you sometimes need some tough love to break it down into what is a necessity to achieve your goals, Jeb does that well. We’ve addressed every aspect of my training…mental prep both cycling related and life related, nutrition and diet, and of course the actual training including continuing to strength train in the gym which is a passion of mine but many cycling coaches don’t believe in during completion strength training. The workouts Jeb designs have really helped me hone in on my race day performance, the end up translating over so well that I go into my races better prepared than I ever have which helps me be mentally confident which is almost more important than physically prepared in many cases. My results with Jeb in just 3 months have been so good, I really can’t wait till I get a full year and more with him…I’m having to rethink my longer term cycling goals because of what we’ve achieved so quickly! Thanks Jeb!

Throughout the years, I have had numerous coaches but none as committed to my performance & well being as Jeb. He enjoys being a coach and it shows in my results.
Prior to Jeb’s coaching, I had only been on the podium three times over a period of 10 years. I am half-way through my first coaching season with Jeb, and have already enjoyed being on the podium three times. You do the math!
His own racing experience provides invaluable information surrounding tactics, mental preparation, and nutrition. Jeb is a genuine person & is truly interested in helping his athletes exceed their goals. Will Larson 2011 45+ Florida Cup Race Champion 2011 45+ State Time Trial Bronze Medalist
As a Sport level MTB racer I was struggling to make podium. I started working with Jeb Stewart six months ago and have moved up to in category to Expert/XC1 MTB racer with two wins and two podiums. I have also qualified for MTB Nationals and am currently ranked 27th in the Nation in my age group.
Jeb has taken me to new heights in fitness and this is only the beginning. I am excited about the future of competitive cycling with Jeb Stewart in my corner.
I would highly recommend Jeb and Endurofit to anyone who wants to get serious about their fitness and being at the top of their competitive field.

When I contemplated a return to ‘cross racing after pregnancy and birth of my son the season before, I knew I would have to make some changes in my training regime if I wanted to recapture any remnants of the success I’d experienced prior to motherhood. I no longer had the same amount of time to train that I had before. Somehow I had to come up with workouts that were super efficient and super effective, and I wasn’t sure how to do that. Enter Jeb Stewart.
For the 2008 cylcocross season, Jeb created 2 custom workouts a week that pulled me off the sofa, onto the rollers, to a first place finish at the Oregon State Championships, and into 12th place at the U.S. National Championships.
In addition to the workouts—which, I’ll admit at first were such a shock to my system, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go through with my planned comeback—Jeb’s moral support and enthusiasm at each step of my progress helped keep me going when self-doubt started to creep in.
After 8 years of training on my own, it was novel to have someone else developing my training regime. Jeb’s workouts were better than what I would have come up with, and it makes me wonder what I might have accomplished if I’d started working with him earlier in my ‘cross racing career.

After racing in Europe for six years, in 2006 I made the move to the States to race professionally. Although I had a great season I was keen to work hard on my weaknesses. My weaknesses were without a doubt my core strength and power.
After working with Jeb Stewart during the 06’ off season I started the 07’ season feeling stronger than ever. I totally changed my off the bike training and the old gym program went out the window. I felt stronger, looked smoother on the bike and apparently have put muscle on where I need to put muscle on, around my arse.
US racing is a lot different to Europe and with less hills and shorter distances there are more 20 up sprint finishes in the end. I can always finish around the top ten but I want to change that to top 5’s with this next found strength. Already a few top 10’s have rolled in with hopefully a lot more to come.

I was looking for a coach who could improve my training regime, help me reach my goals and keep me honest about my potential as a road racer. I was only in my second season of racing as a Cat 3 and my goal event was the Fitchburg Longsjo Classic, Women's Cat 3 race. I returned from the race with three (3) stage wins and a gold medal as the overall winner of the race. I even went on to win the overall at the Giro Di Cielo stage race the following week! All of this after being on the podium 12 out of 13 races leading up to it and a state Championship title!!!
My husband Randy, who also works with a coach, said to me one day, "Without direction you cannot find the treasure". Well, Jeb gave me the direction and I found a bigger treasure than I ever imagined. It's been an amazing journey.

Jeb frameworks an efficient and very effective training schedule for me that doesn’t take over my life and encourages rest and recovery. I am a pretty typical athlete which means I can be very hard on myself. Jeb does just the opposite – he applauds my hard work and performance and truly cares about me as an athlete which is something I forget to do for myself. I truly appreciate his holistic approach and I’ve learned from him how crucial and influential inner fitness can be in achieving my performance goals. Jeb has been yet another individual in my life who has helped me grow immensely.

In the beginning stages of our working together, Jeb immediately impressed me with the comprehensive approach he used in his coaching. He is experienced in training with power training, strength and conditioning and nutrition, but most exciting of all, in the area of mental skills coaching, which he refers to as developing your "Inner Fitness".
Jeb introduced me to several new Inner Fitness development techniques. I once worked with a sports psychologist but the strategies and techniques that I learned from Jeb helped me more than anything I had tried before. Best of all, I have been able to apply many of these techniques not only to my bike-racing, but also to life’s everyday challenges.
The 2007 season has ended, and I ended up winning the jersey in the masters nationals time trial, placed 2nd in the road race and won the BAR (Best All Around).
Jeb certainly exceeded my expectations and I’m looking forward to even more growth & success in 2008!

I’ve worked with Jeb for almost a year now and I’ve made more improvements during that time than all the previous four years of racing combined. My approach to cycling has become much more fun and as a result, my enjoyment of cycling and my life as a whole, has improved right along with my fitness.
Jeb provides a personalized approach to designing a training plan that’s adjusted constantly to my individual needs and characteristics as an athlete. These change almost constantly so it’s no small task. As we’ve gone along over the last year, Jeb has never failed to listen to what I’ve told him about my response to training and racing and adjusted things accordingly. My improvement wouldn’t have been a fraction of what it was otherwise.
Phil Hopkins ER Physician Cat3/Masters Cyclist
Working with Jeb has been a fun and rewarding. I have watched my fitness dramatically improve over the past 2 years Jeb has been coaching me. He integrates the physical and mental aspects into his coaching. He is very passionate about coaching is as excited as you are when you have a good race and when you don't, he always finds something positive to learn to improve for the next race. He often reminds me this is supposed to be fun and that when life gets in the way of training, to take a breath, not be so hard on myself and that everything will fall into place. I've learned that missing a day of training isn't the worst thing in the world and this has helped me so much. It's easy to get so focused on training and getting workouts in, that it can feel like a job. Instead, I've learned to relax, get in what I can and improve my fitness while having fun!

As a triathlete, I greatly enjoyed working with Jeb.
His enthusiasm and sense of commitment really motivated me to seek to achieve my potential as an athlete.
I could not recommend Jeb any more highly.
Rafael Aguilar Age Group Triathlete
In the beginning, I tried training myself using a well known and respected periodization model. After being yanked from my very first Cat 5 crit several years ago I decided to get help.
I was referred to Jeb and after our first conversation started working with him immediately. Besides the obvious fitness gains I needed, Jeb helped me improve in many other areas such as flexibility, eating properly, race tactics, the mental approach and more.
Whether you are new to training, like I was, or have worked with other coaches with mediocre results, Jeb will help you improve. I have had dramatic results working with Jeb and highly recommend working with him on a long term basis.
Bill Clifton Cat 3/Masters Cyclist 5th Overall FPS 2006/2007
Jeb has a good blend of male and female qualities. Somehow he’s been able to combine the best of what we think of as male and the best of the female. He’s brave, he listens, he’s honest, he takes responsibility for himself, he’s empathetic. His emotional intelligence is on the genius level.
Some accomplished cyclists become coaches and then teach the one method that led them to success. I believe that Jeb’s educational background in exercise science as well as his experience in more than one sport give him a broad perspective from which to guide his athletes.
Jeb honors time-proven methods but at the same time he’s open to new ideas, and willing to try new things. Jeb will honor your goals, whether you’re racing across America or touring cross country.
Susan Plonsky Ultra cyclist
After many years of trying to devise my own training and following the latest advice in the cycling magazines, I decided to hire a coach to take me to that next level in racing.
Jeb was that coach and expertly guided me to a new height in my racing fitness. Jeb not only gave me workouts to follow but also had tactical advice, nutritional tips and insight the metal side of the game.
Jeb's enthusiasm is contagious and this paid dividends in building my confidence. I never once doubted my fitness during the season to compete at the highest level.
Tom Toal Cat 3/Masters Cyclist
I had almost given up hope of training without pain. I had visited doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists in the hope of finding a solution to my pain. None of them really addressed the primary problem and some of the doctors even told me that I should just live with the pain.
Jeb had more belief in my potential than I had in myself. This was evident to me after our first meeting. He approached this very methodically, did an evaluation and gave me exact recommendations as to what I need to do to address the pain. He has been respectful of my goals and constraints, extremely encouraging right through the season and has been open and honest in answering questions.
He has shown me a more effective approach to training and its been a pleasure working together.
Vikram Asrani Age Group Triathlete & Half Iron Man Finisher
While working with Jeb, I’ve been able to achieve goals that I know I would not of been able to working on my own. Not only was Jeb able to improve my physical fitness, but he spent time helping me develop my mental fitness too.
This is something I never thought of, working out my brain to become stronger and it has worked!!!
I would whole heartedly recommend Jeb and Endurofit to anyone seeking to improve their abilities.
Eric Mock Cat. 3/Masters Cyclist
Thanks for all the support this year on the bike. This weekend really felt great! I feel like I have arrived in cycling. It would have been really disappointing to not finish the race and would have made me feel feel like I didn’t deserve the upgrade. You have been telling me all year that I was a Cat. 2 but I thought you were just being nice. I feel like one now.
Who would have thought I would have finished in the top 25 in my first Pro1/2!
John Gissal Cat 2 Cyclist Mortgage Broker
I’m am a firm believer in the theory that humans are bipartite creatures…that is…we are made up of “body and soul”. If true, it follows that in any HOLISTIC approach to human “performance”, attention must be given to BOTH the body and the soul as they are distinct but inseparable.
Now Jeb might use different words to describe this philosophy, but in my mind he embodies it. He ties everything together with a genuine caring and commitment to your success as a cyclist and a person.
Jeb is authentic. He really believes in you, before you’ve done anything to merit his confidence and I can tell you… that faith is contagious! Jeb is a great coach, but he is an even better person. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I haven't felt this good in years and I believe you've had a huge hand in this. You've been a great guide for me in so many ways. I may have survived this past year without your help, but I've thrived with it. Thank you. Really. Thank you.
