Derek Teel grew up aspiring to be a downhill mountain bike racer.  When he made it to the professional ranks, his team provided trainers and nutritionists that inspired him to pursue a different career path.  In 2013 he transitioned to the general health and fitness industry as a personal trainer while continuing to spend time on his mountain bike.

After an effort in enduro racing, it was confirmed that strength training specifically for cyclists was a common need that his unique background could fulfill.  Committed to this new mission, Dialed Health was officially founded in 2016. Shortly after, he opened a studio in 2018 for in-person training and launched his first ever online training program.

Now spending most of his time riding/racing road, gravel, and XC MTB, he was inspired to create a wider variety of products to suit riders' specific needs.  Derek now works full-time providing strength training programs and coaching through dialedhealth.com where he strives to make healthier cyclists who perform better around the world.
