More about your course instructor:
Bryan McCullough is a Specialist Cycling Physiotherapist, having worked in musculoskeletal medicine for nearly 20 years. In 2012 he completed his Masters in Sports Medicine where his research project focused on injury patterns in triathletes. Since then Bryan has worked in leading sports medicine clinics in London as both a physio and bike fitter while also lecturing on the topic at the Master’s level.
Bryan’s passion for focusing further on the cycling community led him to set up The Bike The Body, a clinic focused on cycling-specific physiotherapy and clinical cycling analysis (physio-led bike fitting).

His clinic is based just outside Bath in the UK and when he is not in the clinic he is most likely out riding his bike!

Great food and drinks, great location, great people, great lectures. Honestly could not ask for anything more! It was just perfect! 🙂
Ioana C. –
It was an awesome experience and the first one like this for me. It was a week full of interesting and interactive lectures and of course, cycling on beautiful routes. We had a private chef who cooked for us daily, a beautiful villa and a swimming pool that was just perfect after a ride on a hot day. The communication was easily done and they were all open to chat and help you with everything that you needed. Location of the villa is a bit remote, but no worries, if you need anything they will help you. I appreciated a lot that they waited for us in girona airport to take us to the villa and then all the way back, when it was time to leave. I recommend this camp and i’m looking forward to attending the next ones
Caroline S –
A really great week in all respects. A lot of hard work & planning from the team had clearly gong into this. Fantastic educationally, a lovely spacious villa, good and a really great bunch of people. If you’re on the fence at all, do it!
Martin Freyer –
An incredible camp, Girona is like a dream for any cyclist. The food was great and the company made the experience so much better. The course was very interesting and it was great to combine two passions together and learn from an expert like Brian. Can only recommend this course, especially for physios that want a bit more knowledge on cycling.

Wow what a week and what an experience. The people were excellent- both the staff and fellow cyclists/physios created a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere.
The course content was exceptional and I left each session feeling more knowledgeable, confident, and motivated to elevate my clinic. To be able to cycle the beautiful roads with new friends was the cherry on top of an already excellent week.

Sarah Treloar –
What an amazing week! The food, the scenery, the course was all fantastic. I perfect combination of learning and holidaying. I loved connecting with Physios from all over the world and staying together made it a really fun week. The cycling was great and splitting up into groups for stronger & weaker cyclists made it accessible for everyone. The fact that everything was as organised for you made it so stress-free, you could just show up with your bike and have no other worries for the rest of the week. The presenter, Bryan, was super knowledgeable and also really approachable to discuss different aspects of bike fitting and give more details.
I am definitely looking at doing another one of these!
