Meet Jon Sharples
I’m Jon a UK-based cycling coach and performance coach with 20+ years in the sport, helping riders improve fitness and results with a clear, proven cycling training plan. I work with ambitious cyclists across road, time trial and endurance from developing riders and high-performing amateurs to those chasing “pro-level” training standards.
If you’re looking for a cycle coach who keeps things simple and effective, I’ll help you train with purpose, build sustainable power, and arrive at key events genuinely race-ready. Expect structured cycling coaching, honest feedback, and a plan that adapts to your life while still pushing performance forward.

What they are saying!
★★★★★Balancing work, family, and cycling seemed impossible until I started with Jon and the trainSharp team. Their personalized approach focuses on my specific needs and fits seamlessly into my daily routine. The results speak for themselves - my racing achievements have soared.
Ruth Shier
DAS Hutchinson Team
★★★★★Jon's development pathway has helped me, and many others, turn professional. I may turn the pedals, but it's Jon's strong mindset coaching and race game plans that enable me to compete at my full potential. His support and expertise have been key to my professional journey.
Joshua Golliker
Groupama-FDJ Professional Cycling Team
★★★★★Working with Jon and his team has been a revelation. I've shed 10kg and increased my power by 30watts, thanks to their deep understanding of how my body responds. I feel great after workouts, not drained. Jon's constant motivation and infectious enthusiasm have me believing in my potential like never before.
Bob Lovett
TMC Strada Race Team
★★★★★What makes Jon different is how well he understands the rider—not just the numbers, but the person behind them. He knows when to push, when to hold back, and how to tailor a plan that works in the real world, not just on paper. He’s played a key role in helping me improve my threshold, manage training loads, and sharpen the specific areas I need to be competitive at the WorldTour level.”“More than anything, Jon genuinely cares. That’s rare. He’s not just a coach; he’s someone I trust to help guide me through the demands of the sport, and bring the best out of me when it matters most.
Eddie Dunbar
Jayco-AlUla
★★★★★Before working with Jon, I didn’t realise just how crucial it is to manage and overcome setbacks like illness, a natural part of training that I used to underestimate. With his help and structure, I’ve not only built resilience to this but also seen huge improvements to performance, increasing my ftp by 55 watts. I’d highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for a coach who genuinely understands both the physical and mental challenges of bike racing.
