Welcome to 3LC

There are currently a multitude of very expensive turbo trainers on the market with complicated set up procedures and software that requires time-consuming installation. When we talked to cyclists regarding this, almost all said that they wanted something simple to set up, low in cost and - most important of all - a session that would be interesting, pass quickly and give them a good workout. This is how 3LC (Three Legs Cycling) came to be.

3LC is based in the Isle of Man and cycling is our passion. For decades this sport has been hugely popular on the Island and we have been committed to helping our cyclists achieve their goals. This has led to many local riders - past and present - competing on both World Tour and Pro Continental teams. You may even have heard of our fellow Manxman and current World Road Race Champion Mark Cavendish. (Well done, Cav!) As a result of this success many of our young local riders have been or are currently involved with the British Academy, which is an extraordinary fete considering our small population of 80,000.

3LC Training Series is suitable for athletes of all abilities from pro riders to cyclists new to the sport. All you'll need is a turbo trainer, watt bike or exercise bike. There's no need for heart rate monitors, power devices or complicated field tests. If you want to measure these values to track your progress then by all means do so, but we want to highlight that with 3LC Training you can pop the DVD in your player and start to feel the benefits instantly.

We have five DVDs that will improve your peak fitness for all aspects of cycling be it sprinting, climbing, time trialing, road/criterium racing, track riding, mountain biking, triathlon or sportive riding. The main aim of our training program is to increase your sustainable threshold, this we believe is the key element that makes you faster in all aspects of cycling. You will enhance your aerobic and anaerobic fitness while improving your specific strength and pedaling technique.

With expert coaching from myself and two respected former pro’s – Ex-British Champion Steve ‘the Pocket Rocket’ Joughin and Milk Race stage winner Rob Holden - you'll be motivated and guided through every stage of the program. To make your indoor training regime even more beneficial, current World Road Race Champion Mark Cavendish and Peter Kennaugh of Team Sky are heavily featured in our series. Their enthusiasm and energy is hugely compelling. We believe that training next to the professionals will help you achieve your goals even quicker. With our easy-to-use graphical instructions and excellent professional advice - you'll be reaching peak fitness in no time!

In the Isle of Man cycling is a big deal. We have gorgeous hilly terrain, a fantastic community of cyclists and group of young riders who are already making their mark on the world cycling circuit. We have tried to capture this unique dynamic in our DVD series. You'll notice the famous "Manx banter" throughout the sessions. This competitive spirit is what you get at the local club rides and races on the Isle of Man and this (we hope) will rub off on you so you too can share in the success that has put our little rock in the middle of the Irish Sea on the world cycling map.
