“Why does it feel like no matter how hard you train, you’re not getting faster anymore?"

Steal my 3 performance shifts that help 40+ women ride faster, without the burnout.

Introducing...

The FREE

Cycling Success Podcast 🎧

>>Yesss I’m ready to ride faster this week 💪

Imagine lining up feeling powerful, confident, faster,

and fully in sync with your body

After coaching 135+ women cyclists, and competing on the world level, I've seen exactly what works...

And I find most training advice for women over 40 is outdated and quietly holding you back.

Before I can help my athletes improve, we have to learn some new tactics that turn traditional training on its side.

I share the biggest mistakes I see over-40 women cyclists making all the time.

I talk through how to fix them so that you can easily unleash your very best and arrive race-day ready and undeniably strong.

Inside the *Free* Cycling Success Podcast you'll find a smarter way to train, designed specifically to level up your cycling as a 40+ athlete:

🎧 What you must STOP doing today and what you can START doing instead to climb stronger, ride faster, adventure farther and achieve the cycling goals you dream of 💪 

🎧 When riding MORE might actually be making you slower. 


🎧 Why dieting is the fast track to burnout, NOT success, and what to do instead


I've distilled exactly what works now, so you don't waste another season guessing.

I got started in the world of cycling in 2002, but it wasn't until 2019 that I learned none of us knew anything about perimenopause and training for endurance sports.

I've been a cycling coach for 15+ years, National and World Championship medalist, and I’ve helped over 135 women athletes over 40 completely redefine what’s possible on the bike.

Everything I discuss are the same way I trained for the kind of goals that once felt out of reach.

It's time to realize the kind of goals

that once felt out of reach

Hi I'm Marissa Axell, Your 40+ Women's Cycling Coach!

I’m a Cycling Coach and Personal Trainer for 40+ women, I'm 47, and I just wrapped up my 18th season of racing my bike all over the world.  

I coach 40+ women cyclists and triathletes to ride faster and adventure farther, without the burnout.


I'm obsessed with helping you realize the kind of goals that once felt out of reach too--your cycling DREAMS.

(That's me with my UCI World Championship medal in 2023 over there--->)

Through my Cycling Success Podcast, my free masterclasses, the Cycling Success System Program, and Level Up 1:1 Cycling Coaching, I’m here to help you navigate training and recovery through menopause symptoms while still achieving your cycling dreams!

Here's the results my athletes are getting right now:

✨“I needed to qualify for the 2027 National Senior Games, but with a shortened training window, travel plans, and even an unexpected injury, I wasn’t sure how I’d pull it off.

With Marissa’s strategy and support, I not only qualified early — I increased my FTP, set new PRs, got on the podium, and won my 50+ age group in both the time trial and road race.

I’m stronger, faster than ever, and incredibly proud of who I’ve become on the bike.”

— Lisa Haley, Level Up 1:1 Cycling Coaching, 2026

✨"I wanted better power and cadence for climbing hills, but I didn’t know how to fuel, recover, or train around peri-menopause.

After 12 weeks, I’ve set new PRs, ride faster, feel stronger, and have more energy every day. I sleep better and finally know how to fuel my rides in a way that works with my hormones — not against them. Marissa’s coaching made training feel like my ‘me time’.”

— Alisa Cercone, Cycling Success System Team 2026


I believe that love is love, Black lives matter, Transwomen are women and belong in sports, no human is illegal, and bikes are a form of therapy.

I’d love to be your cycling coach and help you achieve your cycling dreams and goals this year too!
