Nick Gough was involved in training for ironman competitions and turned that passion into his own business, Patriot Multisport, providing special training services for athletes\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY LIZ WITBECK<\/p>\n

When Nick Gough started training for
\nironman competition events a year and a
\nhalf ago, he said he was having a hard time
\nfinding just one store that carried everything
\nthat he needed.<\/p>\n

“There was no one-stop shop where you
\ncould get everything,” Gough said. “And I
\nknew if I was going through it, everybody
\nelse must be as well.”<\/p>\n

So Gough, who spent eight years in the
\nU.S. Army with the 2nd Ranger Battalion
\nstarted Patriot Multisport, a fitness facility
\ndesigned to help athletes get in their best
\npossible condition. The center is located at
\n52 Main St., Queensbury. A wide variety of
\nservices are available.
\nThe primary service
\nat Patriot Multisport is bicycle fitting. Using the Ret\u00c3\u00bcl motion capture system, a 3D
\ncomputer will measure the fitting of an athlete’s
\nbicycle to sub-millimeter tolerances.
\nThe technology allows for a fitting that is
\ncustomized precisely to the needs of each
\nindividual. It helps create the most efficient
\nriding form for the bicyclist.
\n“I’m able to measure for each athlete as
\naccurately as possible” explained Gough.<\/p>\n

The facility also offers a “run gait analysis.”
\nIt uses high-definition cameras to capture
\nimages of a runner’s form on a treadmill.
\nGough studies the running of the athlete
\nand analyzes the running for inefficiencies.
\nAppropriate exercises and stretches are
\noffered.
\nThe staff at Patriot Multisport can also create custom orthotics based on results
\nfrom the test.<\/p>\n

Metabolic testing is a popular service
\noffered at the facility. Many athletes enter
\ninto a training program, but are unsure if it
\nis the correct program for them or if they are
\nseeing results. A metabolic test eliminates
\nguesswork, said Gough, and determines the
\nstrengths and weakness of each individual to
\ndevelop the perfect training program.<\/p>\n

For the athlete who enjoys rock climbing,
\ncycling or similar sports, the company
\noffers altitude training. It allows an athlete
\nto use a mask, putting out oxygen-reduced
\nair, that simulates atmospheric conditions
\ntypical at altitudes of up to 14,500 feet. The
\nsimulations of the high altitudes helps the
\nathlete build endurance.<\/p>\n

Patriot Multisport also has a fitness
\ncenter. A professionally trained staff offers
\ncoaching, strength and conditioning enhancements,
\nand nutrition planning with a
\nregistered dietician. Gough said it is the only
\nplace where athletes can find all of these
\nservices under one roof.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been fortunate to team up with
\npeople who are experts in their fields who
\nallow me to offer these services” said Gough.
\nWhen the staff is not at their brick-and-mortar
\nlocation, they are on the road. Patriot
\nMultisport also owns a mobile unit, which
\nhas all of the services of the Queensbury site
\ninside of a 45-foot-long RV.<\/p>\n

The staff will be traveling to Florida
\nand doing bicycle fittings in Pennsylvania,
\nVirginia, and several other states along the
\nway, he said.<\/p>\n

Gough hopes to become more involved in
\nthe cycling community in the area. Currently,
\nPatriot Multisport sponsors two regional
\nteams: Team Loco, a racing team based in
\nAlbany, and Sua Sponte Elite Race, a veteran
\nracing team.<\/p>\n

Patriot Multisport is a veteran-owned
\nand-operated facility. Gough offers a 10 percent
\ndiscount to veterans as well as active
\nmilitary, law enforcement and firefighters.
\nA percentage of earnings from the store will
\nbe donated to veteran’s charities, he said.<\/p>\n
