About

We started this because we wanted it for ourselves.

We started The Breakaway because we saw something missing in the market. This is something we wanted to build for ourselves, and as we started building, we realized a lot of others wanted this too. So we kept building, kept learning, and have continued to do that to improve every day since then. What started as a project is now our mission.

Our mission is to help people improve.

We created The Breakaway from a passion for cycling, fitness, building, creating, solving problems, and creating experiences for customers. We anchor on these in everything we do with a focus on experiences at every possible touchpoint. We are here, doing this because we actually care.

Practicing martial arts and sports for most of my life, I have always been fascinated with what the human body and mind is able to achieve. With The Breakaway, I'm excited to help people realize their potential and surprise themselves at what is possible.

I enjoy unlocking the endless possibilities of human performance and motivation, which in turn usually turns into a lifestyle shift as well. As a professional I took this for granted but now inspiring others to achieve the unthinkable, trumps anything I did personally.
