Coach Sofi Performance Nutrition & Cycling

Fantastic experience: Working Coach Sofi Marin has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for both my performance and overall health. Over the past several weeks, I’ve seen measurable improvements across the board—power output, climbing ability, endurance, recovery, and even my day-to-day energy levels. What stands out most is how personalized and intentional the programming is. Every session has a purpose, and it’s clear that my training is being built around not just performance goals, but also my lifestyle, workload, and recovery capacity. As someone balancing a demanding career, family life, and training, I’ve really appreciated how she’s helped me stay consistent without burning out. The structure she provides has allowed me to push my limits when it matters, while also recognizing when recovery and adjustment are needed. That balance has been huge. On top of that, the nutrition guidance has been a game changer. I’ve become much more aware of how fueling, hydration, and habits directly impact my performance, sleep, and recovery. It’s not just about riding stronger—it’s about showing up better across the board. I’ve also gained a lot of confidence as an athlete. Whether it’s sustaining higher power on climbs, handling longer rides, or just feeling more in control of my training, I can clearly see the progress. If you’re serious about improving your performance and want a coach who truly understands how to integrate training into real life, I can’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Coach Sofi was an exceptional resource for two of my kids, each of whom required a very different approach to nutrition coaching. She thoughtfully developed individualized plans tailored to their specific needs, while also providing practical guidance on how to seamlessly incorporate these plans into our family food shopping and meals. Through her coaching, my kids learned how to make informed, healthy food and hydration choices that support not only athletic performance but also healthy growth and overall well-being. As vegetarians, they had often been told that a plant-based diet would limit their ability to gain weight or reach peak sports performance. Coach Sofi demonstrated—clearly and convincingly—that a vegetarian diet can be both energy-dense and protein-rich, and fully support their athletic and nutritional goals and beyond. The knowledge and habits they gained through working with Coach Sofi have been invaluable, and they will carry these skills with them as they transition into adulthood.

Fantastic experience: Working with Coach Sofi has been one of the best decisions I have made in my own healthcare and athletic journey! She uses a non-judgmental, scientific approach at nutrition and after our time working together I gained the tools and knowledge I needed to maintain the strategies and life style changes implemented. If you are on the fence about working with her or not, I am here to tell you to just take the leap! It's 100% worth the financial investment. What you will gain from the experience far outweighs any worry of cost or time invested. I cannot recommend Sofi enough. She changed my life!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Coach Sofi on two main items - having a better relationship with food and fueling for cycling performance. Her calm, positive, and rational nature was very helpful. Through work with her, I have developed a much healthier mindset around food. In addition, she has been tremendously helpful in understanding how to fuel before, during, and after cycling workouts and events. On top of a better mental outlook, I also achieved great success in my cycling performance.

Fantastic experience: I've been more than happy to work with Sofi ! She has been wonderful both as a coach and as a person. She knows a lot about specific nutrition and she was able to share expert advice even with my vegan diet. Thank you for the hard work, it has been great times to work together I highly recommend Coach Sofi !

Fantastic experience: Coach Sofi has kept my training and racing in the green allowing me to rest easy even with a hectic work schedule. Confidence inspiring training methods backed with race experience. The knowledge gained is worth as much as the watts.

Fantastic experience: Coach Sofi is an incredibly supportive and empathetic nutrition coach. She got me on track with my "on bike" fueling and post-ride replenishment. She was flexible and supportive when I was struggling with some personal transitions and stayed on board to help me get through the bumps. I highly recommend Sofi!!

Fantastic experience: Choosing Coach Sofi as my nutrition coach has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The transformation I've undergone, both in terms of physical appearance and performance, speaks volumes about her expertise. I managed to shed 20lbs under her guidance, and what's even more remarkable is that I accomplished this without once feeling weakened or deprived. I decided to go on Thomson's Epic Trans Alps tour as a focal point for my training, and her approach not only helped me prepare for it but made it a breeze. Among 24 riders, I was surprisingly the fastest one, and this gave me the flexibility to either cruise up 10+% grades at a comfortable pace, capturing memories with my camera, or push my limits and finish challenging climbs way ahead of others. These achievements wouldn't have been possible without the nutrition strategies and continuous support provided by Coach Sofi. For anyone considering a nutrition coach, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge, combined with their genuine care for clients, makes the journey of transformation both enjoyable and effective. Huge thanks for all the support and guidance! It's been an absolute pleasure!

Fantastic experience: Sofi has been a truly excellent coach! I wanted to learn how to add more structure to my workouts to make better use of my time and make sure I'm consistently improving myself as a cyclist, and her tailored coaching plan has made me feel like a much stronger and more confident athlete. I went into training with Sofi as a cyclist generally happy with my abilities, but through the course of the training plan I've been so happy and sometimes surprised to see the improvements. From hitting new PRs on favorite climbs to riding my first 200-mile ride, Sofi has definitely helped me feel more capable on the bike. Sofi also does a wonderful job of keeping things real as a coach. Sometimes as a rider I have my bad days where–whether because of sleep patterns, stress, weather, or something else–I'm not able to hit my target zones and Sofi is always really supportive and great at keeping things in perspective of my macro training plan. Whether you're trying to improve your racing or just want to learn how to become a more confident and capable cyclist, Sofi can definitely help you out, and she's an absolute joy to work with!

Fantastic experience: I attended a group bike handling clinic by Coach Sofi and had a fantastic experience. Coach Sofi was extremely knowledgeable about the skills involved and was very encouraging to us all. She was well organized with what she wanted to cover and also looked to take our feedback on what we wanted to learn from the day. In this group setting she was very observant and quick to provide each member with pointers and tips. I'm looking forward to more skills sessions, etc conducted by Coach Sofi.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coach so grateful that I got to work with her. I started to work with Sofi after bulking block in which I gained too much body fat. I wanted to lower my body fat while increasing my cardio ability and maintain muscle math. Sofi guided me from 20% to 14% body fat in just 4 months while keeping my muscle and running marathon all in the same block. Her nutritional guidance has become the foudation of my new fitness habits. If you are looking to improve and gain knowledge at the same time it is worth the investment. I can firmly say there is a version of me before working with Sofi and after

Fantastic experience: I have been on a healthy living journey for about 11 years now with ups and downs. The past 12 months have been the most drastic improvements I have witnessed with my energy levels, mental clarity and on the bike performance. Every timeI show up to a ride or bump into someone that has not seen me in 12 months the first comment is WOW! you are a complete different person.That outward obvious acknowledgement is an amazing feeling and has justified my investment in coaching.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Coach Sofi for almost 4 years. In that time she has helped improve my fitness and racecraft and has been tremendously supportive. Plus she's nice and funny.

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Coach Sofi for nearly 6 years for both cycling performance and nutrition coaching. I started cycling seriously in my 30's, and realized I could benefit from a coach to tackle races and upgrade. After a few seasons I upgraded to USAC Category 2, thanks to Coach Sofi's strategy to guiding you through improving your strengths and weaknesses. My VO2 and power increased substantially, as well. Coach Sofi excels at understanding you, your goals, what is possible, and holding your feet to the fire to ensure they do happen. If you want to achieve the next level in whatever you are training for, Coach Sofi will help you get there.

Fantastic experience: Coach Sofi is an outstanding for so many reasons. She shares the latest in sport science and nutrition, tailors training schedules to individual athlete goals and needs, and is a fun person to work with. Over the last two years she got my threshold power up 30%, VO2max up 20%, and doubled my anaerobic capacity. Working with Coach Sofi has been so awesome and I've had a lot of fun along the way.

Fantastic experience: Coach Sofi's lecture on nutrition for menopausal-age women was a great reminder for me about where I am doing things right and where I still need to put in some work. It's great to know that moving forward Sofi can be a resource for any future nutritional support that I may need. I am grateful to her for opening my eyes to some hard-to-discover-as-a-lay-person scientific information. Thank you Sofi!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend following Coach Sofi. Connect with her to find out about her lectures on women living healthy lives. Coach Sofi’s lecture was fun, interactive and packed with vital information! Coach Sofi is very knowledgeable about diet and exercise specificity for women. I learned that much of the statistics on diet & exercise, for people who are middle aged an older, are based on men’s statistics. Coach Sofi gave us invaluable information about aging as women and specific tips on maintaining muscle strength. She also spoke about what is the best food to be eating to maintain healthy bodies.
