Comprehensive coaching is our solution to a complete training system. With over 20 years of fitness instruction and technical skills coaching experience, Blueprint Athlete Development has become the industry standard for long-term training.
Programs are tailored to the specific needs of each individual, incorporating evidence-based coaching strategies, personal needs, competition schedules, and daily training environments. Every aspect of strength, mobility, fitness, and cross training is addressed. Comprehensive coaching also includes ongoing consultation and communication with coaches on the topics of nutrition, goal setting, mental performance, equipment and setup, and injury prevention.
Our programs are dynamically periodized, meaning that there is no "set" plan. Each week, coaches adjust and adapt plans based on constant interaction, subjective feedback, and data analysis. Interaction with our coaching team is not limited to once per week. We believe that ongoing interaction and feedback is a vital part of a successful athlete-coach relationship, and encourage individuals to reach out consistently.
Comprehensive coaching programs can begin at any time of the year and require a 12-month commitment. The cost is $325+GST per month.
Athletes are also welcome to attend in-person training at our facility in Squamish, where we offer strength and fitness training, rehabilitation services, and data-driven athlete testing.
Athletes seeking a more affordable option can refer to our generic training plans, which are based on the same philosophies.

Comprehensive Training Plans are the best solution for cyclists seeking the most professional training plan. This program is appropriate for every type of cyclist and has been proven effective from grassroots to World Champions.
Each training plan begins with a thorough review of athlete history, long-term goals, resources, and gap anaylisis. From that point, plans are built from scratch and in consultation with the best coaches available.
Training is a blend of evidence-based strategies and experience-based blending of all forms of training. Athletes will receive guidance across every training pillar: cardiovascular, strength, athleticism, skills & tactics, and race planning. Athletes are also provided with nutrition, mental performance, and bike setup mentorship.
Programs are constantly evolving with each athlete. Athletes have unlimited access to our team of coaches through email, messaging, online conferences, and in-person meetings. Training loads and intensities are data-driven and provided to athletes using Training Peaks.
For athletes seeking a training plan that is proven effective across every cycling discipline and at any age, there is no better solution. Please note, there is a minimum commitment of one-year for this program.

"I’ve been training with Joel for several years now, and I love his approach to training because he aims to make you a better rider and an all-around human/athlete. He covers all bases and keeps it fun in the process. If you’re starting racing or chasing down podiums, I highly recommend Blueprint."

When I started training towards my full potential, I tried to take training into my own hands through various internet sources, it was disconnected information drawing me further away from what I really wanted . I went in searching for something that could take me to the next level because I knew I had the ambition but didn’t have the knowledge. Training with Union Athletics has brought me to where I feel like I need to be, always progressing my fitness, my skills and my determination. It has a fun, but challenging functional training plan.

I haven't been working with Union Athletics for long, but from what I have experienced, the workouts, both on and off the bike, are comprehensive, complete, and seem to be working great. In only a few months, I've seen some major improvement in my fitness, strength and overall mobility. Joel and Jay are friendly guys who make you feel comfortable, and with whom you feel as a team working towards the same goals. I strongly recommend it!
