Mason is so kind and direct. Her instructions were motivating and extremely helpful. I’m a bit rusty and she took her time with me, but challenged me at the same time. I look forward to working with her more. She is truly talented!

Coach Mason was amazing! She was wonderful with my 8 year old son. He was a bit nervous but Coach Mason made him feel comfortable and made the session fun. He really enjoyed it and got some great tips on how to improve his running and agility. I would recommend Coach Mason for any age.

Excellent first lesson for my son. Coach Mason friendly and very knowledgeable about how to improve speed… Thanks Coach

Thank you for being my coach and running with me. I had fun and it was hard but I want to do it again. Sincerely Rachel

Coach Mason is awesome! She has extensive experience both as an athlete and a coach. In my first hour, I not only learned about training specific to me and my goals, I felt like she understood my needs, and the workout was excellent. She is top notch! Highly recommend.

Coach Mason offers a unique skill set to the athletes she works with. Being an elite athlete herself she has the perspective of having been through the preparation and commitment it takes to be a competitor. Perhaps her greatest asset is being able to connect to the individual she is training. Her hands on approach that includes strategy and mindset along with proper technique has benefited my son's hurdling in a short period of time. He looks forward to continuing the journey with Coach Mason's guidance.

So far so good! First session was friendly and informative and took my needs and lifestyle into consideration.

I took my son for one session. She was extremely helpful and he really liked her coaching. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve and get better. Be ready for the best workout you've ever had. Thank you Coach Mason for taking the time with my son.

Coach Mason is a very experienced runner and coach. She has a deep understanding of the sport and the motivating factor in helping me to achieve my goals.

Coach Mason did a complete evaluation of my daughter at my request and made some great recommendations to get her started on a training program. She will be working with her in the next few weeks again. I would not send her to anyone else after just seeing the one visit. A true runner and see ya soon.

Coach Mason was outstanding. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. She will go out of her way to help anyone and continue to check up on her team throughout the week. Highly recommend Coach Mason to anyone!

Awesome Coach!

A "running" book of knowledge. Very informative and patient. Highly recommended.

She is awesome my son really enjoyed there first session and is looking forward to more.

After just two sessions I am confident that using coachup will be the key element in beating old personal records that I thought I would never reach again. Coach Mason has given new life to my same old redundant training schedule. I’m happy to say that I feel motivated to run again!

Coach Mason is amazing she introduced my daughter into the world of running and she loves it. Hopefully with the tools and techniques she learned over the summe she will earn a spot on her high school track team

Coach mason is a great
Coach! She really encourages my daughter and anyone would be lucky to train with her.

I fully endorse Mason as an excellent coach and teacher. We saw marked improvement with our dgt from the very first session. Mason is really easy to work and our dgt loved working with her. She understands how to relay her message to her students.

Coach Mason was great, she was very personable with my daughter and I. She worked specifically with my daughter on your events, giving suggestions on improvement areas. Coach Mason even ran with my daughter giving pushing her to give more. We will be using Coach Mason again.

I enjoyed meeting you, Mason. You're a wealth of knowledge and great inspiration. Your approach to running makes total sense which will lead to my success.
