MEMPHIS, TN — The Memphis Hightailers Bicycle Club is proud to announce that BPC Performance Coaching has renewed its long-standing commitment as a Business Member, ensuring Mid-South cyclists continue to have elite-level training resources at their fingertips.

Founded by Coach Dale Sanford and Coach Bryant Funston, BPC (Build-Peak-Compete) has become a cornerstone of the regional cycling and triathlon community. Known for their science-driven approach to human performance, the Cordova-based coaching group offers a wide range of services, including precision bike fitting, running analysis, and personalized one-on-one coaching for athletes of all ability levels.

The Return of the "House of Pain"

BPC is perhaps most famous for its signature winter training program, the House of Pain (HOP). This intensive indoor cycling series is designed to transform riders during the off-season.

  • Performance Gains: Athletes who follow the program to specification are virtually guaranteed significant leaps in performance, with past participants seeing average Functional Threshold Power (FTP) increases of over 10%.
  • Structured Training: The 15th season of HOP features 26 live online sessions focusing on pedaling efficiency, strength, and threshold boosting.
  • Mental Toughness: A hallmark of the program is Mental Adversity Training (MAT), which uses unpredictable intervals to help athletes break through perceived physical limits.

A Community Staple

Beyond their technical expertise, BPC coaches are active competitors who understand the unique challenges of balancing high-level training with work and family life. Their continued partnership with the Hightailers reinforces their mission to help everyone from weekend warriors to elite racers reach their full potential.

Riders looking to take their fitness to the next level can explore BPC’s coaching packages or sign up for the House of Pain online.
