Fahrenheit Performance

Martin has a Masters Degree from Columbia University and an Engineering degree from University of Western Australia. While studying and living in the USA, he was an avid cyclist and competitive racer in the Northern CA amateur racing circuit. Now based in Singapore, Martin founded Fahrenheit Performance and has the role of the Cycling Performance Engineer & Bike Fitter. He works on the interface between the mechanics of the body and bicycle to optimise performance by manipulating physics and biomechanical changes with the rider’s musculoskeletal conditions while increasing performance and reducing injury.

Martin is a certified bike fitter (RETUL Master Fitter, Gebiomized - Level 2, SICI - Certified) and also a USA Cycling Coach (Level 2). He has worked with competitive cyclists in Singapore, USA and Australia.

Belinda graduated from Columbia University's (New York) College of Physicians & Surgeons and earned a Masters and Doctorate in Physical Therapy specializing in Orthopaedics and Pediatrics in 2003. In her 9 years of working in the USA, she worked alongside renowned Sports and Orthopaedic Surgeons in Stanford and at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation to help local high school, collegiate and professional athletes reach their goals. As an Orthopedic Certified Specialist since 2006, she became a clinical instructor to USC, Northwestern University, University of Miami and SUNY Buffalo physical therapy students. In 2008, she became a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy.

Belinda is also trained in Classical Pilates and teaches Pilates to patients with low back, neck pain, athletes, cancer patients and post op patients.

A bike fit is the evaluation of the rider’s physical condition and needs, then adjusting the rider’s position accordingly. With the evolution of sports science, cyclists are looking for marginal gains in order to win races, be most aerodynamic and to become a more efficient athlete, but some just want to ride more comfortably or pain free.

Sometimes, it’s about fitting for comfort vs aerodynamics with goal of reducing injuries and improving efficiency.

If a traditional bike fit is fitting the bike to the body, a clinical bike fit also fits the body to the bike. During the functional assessment if there are any pathologies that can be facilitated through physiotherapy then it will be done prior to the start of the on-bike analysis. At times the bike needs adjustments and other times it is the body that needs adjusting. We team up a bike fitter and a physiotherapist to determine the best fit so the body and bike can work as efficiently as possible.

a lot can be learned from watching a rider pedal and how they sit on the saddle and hold the handlebars.

correcting bad habits improves efficiency and performance.

we first benchmark the Riders Power Profile by Index efforts of 5 s, 1 min, 5 min, and Functional Threshold Power [FTP] as they best reflect neuromuscular power, anaerobic capacity, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2_max) and lactate threshold (LT).

this information can then be used to plan an indivualised training program, identify the rider's strengths & weaknesses and target events where they might be expected to achieve the greatest success.

based on your power profile we can build a custom training plan to suit your individual needs.

from a weekend warriors just trying not to get dropped on group rides to elite cyclists training to win the national championships, we can plan a plan for you.

all workouts are designed to elicit an appropriate response based on your history and goals.
