Testimonials

Joel is personable, intentional and approachable. Nothing pretentious about Joel! He provides personalized assessments for each activity and overall flexibility. This has been huge for me because the workouts are tailored to correct and improve MY weaknesses. It is one thing to just put in the miles but an entirely different thing to put in the correct miles. I am excited to see how I improve over the next year as I head toward my Ironman goals.

As a newcomer to triathlon, my race fitness and technique have greatly improved [since] I’ve been working with Joel. His workout blocks, advice, and analysis helped me smash my stretch goals in my most recent race. As a coach, he’s always been available and responsive to questions via email or phone. Looking forward to more great race experiences and PRs ahead.

Swimming used to stress me out. I wasn’t sure where to start to improve my technique and there’s an overwhelming amount of advice online. I signed up for Joel’s swim analysis and was so excited about how practical and actionable his advice was. It even inspired my girlfriend to sign up for the same package. And my mom too! Joel has started a movement in my family. I’m so glad I sought out his help before competing in my first triathlon and look forward to continuing to learn from him.

I am a new and aspiring triathlete. I’ve really been struggling making the transition from the pool to open water. I even had a full panic attack in the water and it was so scary. After that, I knew I needed some more structure and guidance. I attended one of Joel’s open water swim sessions, and it felt transformative! Joel was so patient and reassured me that my sense of panic in the water is normal and manageable. I’ll definitely be attending these sessions regularly!

My wife and I did a couple sessions with Joel (running for me, swimming for her), and they were great. I consider myself a decent runner even though I started only a few years ago (I'm occasionally competitive for age group awards in races), but I had no formal coaching. In limited amount of time, Joel taught me more about proper running technique than all of the YouTube videos, running articles, and random tips from friends over the last 2-3 years of running. I can already tell I'm running more efficiently by using a couple "tricks" from Joel to increase my cadence and improve my foot strike. I am looking forward to incorporating more of the things I learned from his coaching and going back for more sessions.
