Client Reviews

Travis is awesome!

Travis has over a decade of experience and a passion for running. I enjoy his in-person coaching where he pushes me when the urge to give up arises. I appreciate his analysis of my training plan, recommendations, and experience throughout the entire training cycle.

Coach Travis is incredible. After one meeting he has provided me with tons of knowledge and guidance on how to become a better runner. Can't wait to continue to train with him!!!

Travis is amazing! Gave me great pointers and got me running at 43 years old for the first time since highschool. Thanks for all your help, without you it would not be possible to run this Marathon!

Travis is very encouraging and knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to our next session!

Great first session! Travis is super personable and knowledgeable on running. He really listened to what my goals and current lifestyle to help me put form to a plan for running. Looking forward to continuing with him!

Coach Travis was very knowledgeable and motivating at my first session. A simple lacing trick has greatly reduced my Achilles pain! During my first session, he pushed me enough to show me that I was much more prepared for an upcoming race that I thought when I signed up, and gave me a huge boost of confidence. Looking forward to the next sessions!

It has been a pleasure learning from Coach Travis. Rather than a cookie cutter approach as proposed by most authors on running, Coach Travis customizes his guidance to fit each individual -- be they a junior, a millennial or an over-45 athlete like myself. I just rebooked another series of classes with Coach Travis.

Coach Travis is awesome. During my first session with him, he made me feel very relaxed, considering I have never had an athletic coach before. It was easy talking to him as we ran. He answered all my questions regarding nutrition for fueling, stretching before and after running, types of running shoes I need for my feet, running posture, breathing etc. After a first session like the one I had with Coach Travis, I am definitely looking forward to the next.

Travis is amazing! I have a very short deadline for a physical test for a job. On our first session Travis helped push me to do twice the distance I've been doing myself and shave about a min off my mile run time. He is knowledgable, enthusiastic, sincere and motivating!

Travis was excellent to deal with. Very knowledgeable and professional. My son, a high school junior who runs cross country and track, is excited to continue training with him.

My daughter is a soccer player wanting to work on her running to improve her game performance. She wasn't looking forward to her session thinking it would be an hour of straight running. Coach Travis had her doing lots of fun different drills and she could feel the improvement. She was extremely excited afterwards and is now looking forward to her next sessions. Coach Travis taught her skills and she had a great time. We were very pleased with his session.

Enjoyed the session, gave me some good feedback and some tips I was looking for.

I've been working with Coach Travis for about 4 months. Since working with him, I have definitely seen an improvement in my running abilities. I just got a 7 min PR in my half! He will push you but it's only because he sees the amount of potential that you have. He genuinely cares about you and wants you to succeed.

Coach Travis is fantastic!! Incredibly knowledgeable! He blew me away with all the tips and tricks he knew! He picked up on so me things about me just by how I ran! He immediately found where I need to improve and gave me concrete and reasonable way to fix them. He is also very respectful, kind, and quick to respond on messages. I look forward to working with him in the future and highly recommend you do as well!

Travis is what I needed, someone who can run with me and give me real time feedback on my mechanics. It is one thing that someone tell you your mistakes or the adjustments, it is another thing when someone is there with you to teach you the feeling of the needed adjustments.

Dependable!

Coach Travis did a great job with my 6 year old son. He is teaching basic running mechanics and I could see the improvement by the end of the first practice. Most importantly, he made the lesson enjoyable for my son.

Travis worked out with me in order to get to know one another. He seems very knowledgeable and is eager to help me acheive my goal as a runner. I booked a total of 5 sessions so we will see where it goes. I am happy so far. Really nice guy.

I've had a few sessions with Travis so far and I've been extremely pleased. His knowledge of running and the physiological aspects really make the difference here. Not to mention how nice he is. Being someone that's never used a coach for anything in my adult life, I took a chance and can say it's been great. Again, working with someone that's really good at what they're training makes a monumental difference. Don't think twice, do it. Now.

Very talented athlete and coach!
Always has a well thought out plan to push you to your goals.

Although a young man he is very careful to taylor your workouts to upcoming race you may have planned. Noting that he doesn't just stand there and bark commands as your passing he actually gets out there and helps you. He is a very patient coach and when you begin to struggle he jumps on the track and runs stride for stride and pushes you to reach down pull from the well even if you think it is empty. He never becomes negative or talks down to you or even makes you feel inferior, just the opposite he encourages you and gives you the feeling that you will soon smash all your PR's. We and have recommended this talented and honest young man to many others and will continue to do so.

I started working with Coach Travis in early August when I had 9 weeks left to go before I was supposed to run the Chicago marathon and at that point I was feeling really discouraged with the way my training was going. Immediately after my first training session I knew I had made the correct choice since I crushed my time trial for one mile by running it in 7 minutes!!! I continued to work out at an 8 minute pace or less for my middle distances, almost a minute and 30 seconds faster than before I started training with Coach Travis. At the Chicago marathon I ran 21 minutes faster than I had ever run ever before which showed drastic improvement in just about two months’ time, and now I cannot wait to keep working with him! What I like about working with Coach Travis is that he really makes you believe that improvement is within your grasp, and even when you are not having your best workout he finds ways to make adjustments to get the best out of you. Finally I feel that he really has his athlete’s best interest in mind, and never overloads you with unnecessary sessions and will tell you when it is in your best interest to rest. Without hesitation I would recommend him to anyone who wants someone who is honest , experienced, and knowledgeable to train with.
