Online BMX coaching with HRVfit gives you access to Tony Harvey’s experience as a six-time Australian BMX Champion, wherever you ride. Through bmx coaching online, you can follow structured training at your local track, at home or in the gym, with support suited to your age and goals. Options range from programs you follow independently to personalised coaching with Tony, including video feedback and regular check-ins to help you understand what to work on and why.
What does online BMX coaching involve?
Online BMX coaching connects the work you do between races with what you want to improve on the track. That might mean a more consistent gate start, stronger acceleration or a training week that fits around school and work.
You still ride your bike, practise at your local track and complete your training. Your coach provides direction and, when included in your package, reviews how you are progressing.
A downloadable program and personalised coaching offer different levels of support. At HRVfit, the Speed Method includes a custom program, monthly strength and sprint training, video analysis and weekly check-ins.
Start with your riding goals and available time
A useful coaching conversation starts with what you need and what you can realistically manage.
“I want to get faster” is a starting point. “I lose ground during my first few pedals” gives your coach a more specific problem to investigate.
Before starting individual coaching, have these details ready:
- Your age, race class and riding experience.
- The races you are preparing for.
- Your available training days.
- Your access to a track, sprint area and gym equipment.
- Your current training routine.
- Any injuries or restrictions affecting your sessions.
This information helps make the planning practical. If your club runs gates on Thursday and you work late on Tuesday, those details matter when organising your week.
Follow a plan with a purpose
An online BMX training plan should make it clear what each session is trying to achieve.
Instead of arriving at the track and deciding what to practise after a few laps, you have a focus. One session might centre on your start position. Another might involve sprint work or strength exercises appropriate to your program.
For younger riders, delivery can be straightforward. HRVfit’s Junior Monthly Training Program provides riders aged 10–12 with a downloadable Excel spreadsheet covering gate sessions, sprint training and bodyweight circuits. Parents and riders can view the plan on a device or print it.
Having that structure means you can check the session before leaving home and understand what you need to complete.
For intermediate to advanced riders aged 13 and over on clip pedals, The Future BMX racing training program provides a monthly downloadable plan with gate sessions, sprint training and strength work. It suits you if you want structured sessions to follow independently.
If you are unsure which areas your plan should cover, our guide to training for BMX racing walks you through gate starts, sprint work, leg speed, strength and recovery. Use it to identify the areas you want to discuss with your coach.
Use video to make feedback specific
Video gives your coach something concrete to review. You might feel that your start was powerful, but the footage lets you look more closely at your position and movement.
For example, HRVfit’s Gate Start Analysis currently follows a three-week process. You submit initial videos, receive coaching cues and drills, then send updated footage for further review. The final stage focuses on consistency and additional adjustments.
To make your footage useful:
- Ask your coach which camera angle they need.
- Keep your whole bike and body visible.
- Send several attempts so the review has context.
- Explain what you were trying to change.
The value comes from applying the feedback and recording the next attempt. Saving a coaching message on your phone will not change your start by itself.
Share what actually happened in training
Online coaching relies on honest communication because your coach cannot see every session.
Useful feedback goes beyond “done”. Tell your coach if you struggled to complete the session, missed training or could not understand a cue.
For example: “My first three starts felt consistent, but I kept changing my position after that” gives your coach something to discuss.
Where you record times, include the conditions and measurement method. Comparing different hills or distances can make progress difficult to judge.
Your notes also help explain results. A slower session after a demanding workday tells a different story from repeated difficulty with the same movement.
BMX Coaching for Riders Around the World
Your local track and race calendar shape your training, even when your coach is in another country. With HRVfit's BMX coaching, you can discuss your goals, track access and available training days before choosing your level of support. If you are considering personalised coaching, confirm how check-ins and video feedback will fit your time zone.

Fit online coaching around your local track
Online coaching can work alongside club sessions and local coaching. Your online plan provides direction between those sessions, while track time gives you opportunities to practise.
Keep both coaches informed about what you are working on. If you receive different cues, ask for clarification before trying to combine them.
Remote feedback also has practical limits. A video only shows the angle recorded, and your online coach cannot supervise a new skill in person. Local support remains useful when you need immediate instruction at the track.
FAQs about BMX coaching online
Is online BMX coaching suitable for younger riders?
The program needs to match the rider’s age and independence. HRVfit’s Junior Monthly Training Program is for ages 10–12, while the Speed Method is for riders aged 13 and over who can receive feedback and take responsibility for their training.
Do you need a gym?
Equipment requirements depend on the program. HRVfit’s Junior Monthly Training Program uses bodyweight exercises without weights or a gym membership. For individual coaching, discuss your equipment before your plan is prepared.
Do you need to film every training session?
Check your package and your coach’s instructions. Filming selected attempts that show the skill being reviewed is more manageable than recording an entire evening at the track.
How quickly will you see progress?
There is no single timeframe that applies to every rider. Look for specific changes, such as applying a cue more consistently or completing planned sessions, alongside comparable performance results.
Give your training a clearer direction
You should finish a coaching conversation knowing what to practise next and why it matters. That clarity can make your next gate night feel more purposeful.
