Welcome to the Montanaro Chiropractic Performance Center. Catering to an active clientele, this unique and exclusive training facility will appeal to anyone seeking to improve their health, productivity, performance and most importantly their overall quality of life.

The inspiration for Dr. Chris Montanaro has grown from the dreamed concept whereby the finest methods, specialists and facilities combine to seamlessly bridge the gap between traditional sports rehabilitation and the enhancement of health, fitness and athletic performance.

Our facility provides individual, small group and team performance training primarily, but not limited to cycling, triathlon, basketball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, competitive skating and swimming communities. There are a wide range of programs and services providing all the necessary resources and tools to train effectively year round.

Helping athletes and active people achieve their goals is our passion and priority.

 

 
CompuTrainer provides the most interesting indoor bike experience yet created. It increases your cycling power by 20 to 30% and your speed by 2 to 4 MPH. Whatever your starting point, you’ll improve significantly.

CompuTrainer is best in its class by a wide margin. It sets the industry standard for accuracy (± 2.5%), power (1500 watts), quality, and service lifetime (10+ years). Exclusive performance features like SpinScan™ electronic pedal stroke analysis and Adjustable Aerodynamic Drag Factor are unique to CompuTrainer. Cycling and triathlon coaches worldwide use CompuTrainer as their primary testing instrument. USA Triathlon, USA Cycling, and the Canadian Cycling Association test and train their team athletes with CompuTrainer.


 
 
The CompuTrainer Bicycle Ergometer is one of the most cutting edge, reliable, accurate, and precise training and assessment tools available in the sport science field today. Montanaro Chiropractic has 4 CompuTrainers available for use within the Multi-Rider set-up in our group setup or for individual use.

Power-based training is becoming more popular and increasing numbers of cyclists and triathletes are realizing the benefits of training or racing according to defined power zones. Training on a CompuTrainer provides you access to this measure of intensity allowing you to make the most of your training time .

Group training & Racing on CompuTrainers
If you're looking for major performance improvement let Dr. Montanaro show you the way. Our MultiRider software provides for both Group Races and Group individualized watts training for up to 4 riders.

Train or race and receive instantaneous performance data (speed, watts, and distance) as well as your distance from the next rider ahead (or behind). At the end of the race the peak and average values are indicated, and the race data for each rider may be printed.
 
 
 
SpinScanTM Pedal Stroke Analyzer is an exclusive feature of CompuTrainer and Velotron that helps you increase power and efficiency. The multi-color torque graph represents one full 360° revolution divided into 15° segments. The left/right leg percentage power splits give you the feedback needed to pedal in "circles". It will identify "flat" or "dead" spots in the pedal stroke where optimal power is not transferred to the drive train. A dynamic bike fit utilizing SpinScan is an excellent way to take the subjectivity and guesswork out of the bike fit process. And the ATA (Average Torque Angle) displayed on the Polar Graph helps you adjust your position for optimum power.

  The Polar Graph of SpinScan for this cyclist's non-symmetrical power output shows up as an "unbalanced" peanut shaped display as well as a 35/65 power split between each leg - an additional piece of bio-mechanical performance data which relates to overall performance efficiency.
The high "peaks and low valleys" or flat spots represents a choppy, pedal mashing style of cycling that does not maximize power distribution. The flat and more even bar graph shows more 'even' pedalling mechanics as reflected in the "SpinScan" number of 75.
 
Two important technical innovations in 2007 significantly increase CompuTrainer’s training value:
 
1. The Aerodynamic Drag Factor in the CompuTrainer software algorithm is now individually adjustable, an industry first. It allows the rider to adjust the ADF to account for his own body geometry and riding position. CompuTrainer accuracy increases another notch.
2. This year marks the introduction of a landmark improvement in the CompuTrainer interactive training experience:
Interactive REAL Course Videos. High Definition videos of famous triathlon and bike courses are combined with our interactive, GPS mapped software to make you feel like you’re on the real course. Filming of complete bike courses on race day provides superior realism and race simulation. Ironman® and Ironman® 70.3 bike courses are exclusively available from RacerMate. Choose in 2007 from Lake Placid, St. Croix, Lanzarote, Wisconsin, Kona, Canada, Switzerland, Coeur d’Alene, UK, Baja, Newfoundland, Steelhead, Monaco, Oceanside, Lake Stevens, and Arizona. Also included are the Tour of California and the USA National Age group triathlon, Hagg Lake Oregon.

MultiRider 3.0  Software
Now Available with TEAM Racing!

"where the road meets the lab"

 


 

  CompuTrainer MultiRider systems provide a new, exciting and technically superior method of indoor GROUP bike training and racing. It's a great way to motivate people to stick with an athletic or exercise program.  A basement, garage, bike shop or health club can double as an indoor cycling center for up to 8 riders at a time connected to one PC through a USB Hub.


1- RacerMate Challenge Group Time Trial Races
3 to 8 riders can race against each other on an infinite variety of real bike courses including participation in the EBRA (Electronic Bike Racing Association) International 10K Time Trial Series.  Race data can be uploaded to a Ranking system to keep track of individual performance results. Drafting mode is included.

2- MultiRider Group Coaching
Group Training and Coaching allows for non-competitive group training in which each rider performs at his own level. Train individual athletes in ergometer mode -- a key feature of the CompuTrainer system.  The race administrator or coach will enter an athlete's threshold value and then create a special "time-versus-percent threshold" test for all athletes to follow. These are similar to the erg files already used in Coaching Software. So each rider will be doing the same test, but all at differing workloads!  Click on the Software download link below to give it a try!

3- RacerMate Challenge Team Racing
This is "Where the Road Meets the Lab".  Team Racing simulates the authentic, dynamic feeling of riding in a pack and adds a new tactical element. Supports two- 4-man rider teams racing head-to-head.  The winning team can be selected using fastest average time, fastest 2nd rider, fastest 3rd rider or fastest 4th rider. A 'pie chart clock' shows the leading team's instantaneous time advantage.

With a CompuTrainer MultiRider system, you can't beat it for high quality training and competition that's really fun.

 

 

FEATURES:
 
You'll be amazed at the realism of CompuTrainer's 3D interactive graphics.
Rolling Green Hills or Painted Desert Scenery, curves, split screens, and panoramic
helicopter views combine with advanced computer algorithms to create the true "feel of
the road". Real time representation of essential data such as power output, heartrate, current
speed, real-time & average values are given. CompuTrainer 3D Software is the result of over
15 years of continuous development by more than a dozen top level software designers, engineers
and computer graphics programmers.
 
SpinScan Pedal Stroke Analyzer is an exclusive CompuTrainer feature that helps you increase power and efficiency. The multicolor torque graph represents one full 360 revolution divided into 15 segments. The left /right leg percentage power splits give you the feedback needed to pedal in "circles". It will identify "flat" or "dead" spots in the pedal stoke where optimal power is not transferred to the drive train. A dynamic bike fit utilyzing SpinScan is an excellent way to take the subjectivity and guesswork out of the bike fit process. And the ATA (Average Torque Angle) displayed on the Polar Graph helps you to adjust your position for optimum power.
 
By pre-training on a simulated course you gain a big advantage in the actual race. A library of hundreds of pre-loaded courses is included in the software - from the Central Park bike course in New York City to the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships course in Kailua-Kona. Look to this website to download the latest new courses along with many free courses posted by CompuTrainer users.

Professional Performance
CompuTrainer is more than a premier bike trainer. It's also a precision bicycle ergometer measuring wattage, heartrate, and cadence, which matches ergometers like the Lode and SRM costing much more. USA Triathlon and the Canadian Cycling Association rely on CompuTrainer to test and train their national team athletes. For the individual it's like having a personal exercise physiology lab.

More Powerful than other electronic bike trainers (except the Velotron, also by RacerMate), CompuTrainer has a peak power rating in excess of 1500 Watts to simulate road grades up to 15%.
