Taking Performance Fitting To The Next Level
Salt Lake City, UT (August 14th, 2025) - AiRO, an aero performance technology company founded by acclaimed engineer Ingmar Jungnickel, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with APEX Coaching, led by internationally renowned coach Neal Henderson. With a shared commitment to data-driven performance, innovation, and athlete-first methodology, this collaboration aims to redefine how endurance athletes train, test, and achieve their peak.
Founded by Jungnickel after years of pioneering aerodynamic and performance advancements at Specialized Bicycles, where he worked alongside many of the world’s top athletes and teams. Joining forces with APEX Coaching was a natural next step. Both organizations believe in unlocking performance potential not just through passion and discipline, but through precision tools, science-based training, and human-centered technology.
With a coaching career that began in the early 1990s, Neal Henderson has dedicated his life to pushing the boundaries of human performance. Neal founded APEX Coaching in 1999 and immediately set out to become a world-class cycling and triathlon coach. Henderson has guided numerous athletes to national and world championship titles, Olympic and Paralympic podiums, and historic milestones—including the UCI Hour Records set by Rohan Dennis and Evelyn Stevens.
APEX Coaching has become a world-recognized leader in offering cutting-edge sports science, technology integration, and individualized coaching to athletes of all levels. This collaboration with AiRO marks a new chapter in APEX’s mission to help athletes “Achieve Peak Endurance eXperiences.”
"AiRO’s commitment to precision, innovation, and athlete-centered design perfectly aligns with our philosophy at APEX," said Henderson. "Together, we’re bringing the next evolution of performance fitting and positioning to athletes. Something that was previously only achieved by hours in the wind tunnel."
"This partnership isn’t just about merging science and sport," added Jungnickel. "It’s about equipping every athlete, from Olympic contenders to emerging amateurs, with tools that deliver clarity, purpose, and results. APEX’s coaching philosophy and proven record of excellence make them the ideal partner for AiRO’s mission."
