Training for motorbike riders, by a rider
Long-term riding locks up hips, rounds shoulders and stiffens necks. Jen Adams has 25+ years on two wheels and 42+ years of coaching, and helps riders across Perth undo what the saddle does, from her studio in Ballajura.
Is this you?
What riding does to your body
- Hips and lower back are stiff and sore after every decent ride
- Neck and shoulders ache from helmet weight and riding posture
- Head checks are getting harder because your neck will not turn like it used to
- Hands and forearms fatigue or go numb on longer runs
- You are slower getting on and off the bike than you want to admit
Coached by someone who gets it
Most trainers have no idea what four hours in the saddle actually feels like. Jen does. She has ridden for more than 25 years, and rider-specific coaching has become one of the signatures of Hell's Bells Fitness.
Riding is a fixed, loaded posture: hips flexed, spine rounded, neck craned, wrists carrying weight and vibration. Hold any shape long enough and the body adapts to it, giving up the ranges it no longer uses. That is why the stiffness follows you off the bike.
The program reverses it. A movement assessment maps exactly which ranges riding has taken from you, then targeted mobility, movement restoration and strength work wins them back: hips that open, a neck that turns, shoulders that sit where they should, and the core endurance to hold good position for a full day's ride.
What is included
What rider training covers
Hip and spine mobility
Reopen the hips and thoracic spine that hours of riding posture shut down.
Neck and shoulder relief
Restore neck rotation for head checks and unload the shoulders that carry helmet and bar weight.
Grip and forearm endurance
Build the grip and forearm capacity that clutch, brake and vibration demand.
Core and riding endurance
Strength to hold strong position on the bike all day, and to pick the bike up when you need to.
Good to know
Rider training FAQs
Why do I ache so much after riding?
Riding holds you in one loaded position for hours: hips flexed, neck extended, shoulders rounded, wrists loaded. Over years the body adapts to that shape and loses the ranges outside it. The fix is restoring those lost ranges and building strength to support long rides.
Does Jen actually ride?
Yes. Jen has more than 25 years of motorbike riding experience, so she understands exactly what long hours in the saddle do to hips, neck, shoulders and grip, and what a rider needs to stay comfortable and safe on the bike.
Will this improve my riding, not just my aches?
Yes. Better hip mobility and core strength mean better bike control and body positioning. A freer neck means better head checks and vision. Riders report improved posture, endurance on long rides and confidence in slow-speed work.
