Client Reviews

I've seen what coach has done with Kenneth . I'm very happy with coach's training . Kenneth is excited for the next session and his future .

Thanks again !

Coach Ken has done a great job improving my daughter’s strength and speed and is always providing positive feedback that motivates her to do the work.

Great session. Definitely going back

Coach Ken was great with my 13-year-old son. He tailored the sessions perfectly to match my son's abilities, making them challenging yet achievable. Ken took extra care to guide my son through any new drills, ensuring he understood and felt comfortable with them. We're looking forward to future sessions.

Coach focuses on the fundamentals. This will have long term benefits for my student athlete. He also helps motivate and works on all areas of development, technique, strength, conditioning and running drills. We have had a great time working with Coach P!

Very nice, informative, great first few sessions!

Knowledgeable and articulate while still able to communicate concepts to kids through feedback and praise. Drills maintain focus while demonstrating proper mechanics of not only speed/running but also core strength. We are looking forward to working with coach. Strongly recommend.

He's been great in every way! I very much appreciate Ken.

My son, who is a high school sophomore (Track sprinter and soccer player), has raved about how coach Ken has fixed his running motion after 3 lessons. My son's soccer coach came to me recently after the teams first practice to talk about how in shape my son was at a recent soccer camp over the other kids. That's a credit to Coach Ken. My son, who prefers track, always looks forward to his sessions and he has gotten noticeably faster (Track and Soccer). Looking for for a track, speed and conditioning coach this is it.

Excellent Coach!!

Coach Ken is awesome! My daughter has learned so much in the few lessons she has had so far. We are looking forward to continuing her progress!

Coach Ken is great!

Coach Ken is great! He's working with my youngest son who is new to track & field. He's very patient and pushes my son just enough to make him better. My older son will also begin training with him to get ready for college football this summer. I can't say enough good things about Coach Ken.

Coach Pendleton has a lot of experience, and is very encouraging and enthusiastic. We are looking forward to working with him!!

Coach Ken is worth every penny!!!! He is a very respectful and knowledgeable coach. If my daughter wants more 1 on 1 coaching we will definitely go back to coach Ken.

Was looking for a track coach for my son to help him improve his strength, speed and over all agility. Coach Ken came highly recommended on CoachUp. He is a coach par excellence. He is extremely disciplined and has a well defined program. With targeted exercise plans set up each week for my son he has helped him meet and exceed his goals. We are very fortunate to have crossed paths with a coach of his caliber.

Great coach! My son and I am really pleased with Coach Ken. He is super professional, personable and knowledgeable of what he is doing. I drive from Wisconsin just to train with Coach Ken. I will recommend. Thanks Coach Ken.

Coach Ken is fantastic! My son's high school coach commented that his form is soooo much better than it was last year and his times are significantly improved. That's all due to Ken.
Ken is good at connecting with kids (which isn't easy with my 15 yo) and is always introducing new workouts to keep interest. We have been training with Ken for 3-4 months and always feel like we get his full attention for the hour. Money well spent! Results are everything.

Great customer service! Coach Ken takes the time to evaluate individuals and get to the root of what it takes to make them a great athlete!

My son is thinking of switching from soccer to track and Coach Ken was great at explaining potential transition from one sport to another. He got him started on some fundamentals and is preparing him for a spring track season. He himself was a multisport athlete and a track star so he understands where my son is coming from especially since my son had ACL injury 2 years ago which hindered him from trying out for track. My son really liked his knowledge of the sport and we have booked another session with him already.

My son just had a second session with Coach Ken. For those of you reading this review, Coach Ken is the real deal and a game changer. After the session, my son said “He kicked my butt!” and was beaming! Coach Ken worked with my son and went over crucial aspects of running track, from running fast, pacing, mental strength, preparation, you name it, he went over them with my son. And of course the physical training part was excellent. My son was very happy so much so that we are now buying a package and he will continue to train with Coach Ken. My son is getting so much out of Coach Ken’s training and I cannot be happier.

I personally have been enjoying all the workouts we have planned. After a workout, I always look forward to another day of training!

Coach Ken and Coach Kelly are a phenomenal team. My son attended five training sessions and they not only focused on basic fundamental skills in track and field but strength training. Coach Ken provided words of affirmation and discussed having faith in oneself. We attended our first track meet the following week and my son was able to achieve his goal in high jump and receive his first gold medal. I highly recommend NFront Training and Track Club. It's great for beginners, intermediate and advanced track and field athletes!

My son attended his first session with Mr Pendleton and was so happy with the training he received. He really knows what he’s doing. I’m SO happy we found him!

Very knowledgeable, professional, and puts the athletes needs first ensuring optimal results. Great chemistry and overall demeanor. Passionate to see the athlete succeed!!

Excellent coach, has lots of experience

He’s great with ensuring the kids focus on the fundamentals and getting their bodies in the right shape.

Coach Ken is awesome. His knowledge and ability to connect with my kids have given them the skills and motivation to rise to the next level. I would recommend him to anyone.

I recommend coach Ken as a very good sprint coach. My 10 y old daughter was very happy with a practice. Interesting drills for the age. What in my opinion is very important at this age.

Coach Ken is a great coach. He has just started coaching my 7 year old son and our experience has been great. My son looks forward to his sessions and wants to work hard learning what coach is teaching him. Coach Ken is a true professional and I would highly recommend for track and field coaching.

Coach P is helping me to become a better athlete and an even better man. He challenges me every practice and looks me in the eye whenever having a conversation about what's going on in my life.
