I’ve been working with Josh for a couple months and found Josh is great about responding when I send a request for assistance. He is knowledgeable and friendly. The friendly part is important to me, but might not matter for a lot of people. Josh seems to genuinely care about my needs. His cycling knowledge and willingness to share has helped me a lot.

Frederic has been great about adapting training when there have been bumps in the road and meeting me where I am at. I’m currently on a pause to recover from some health issues but I’m looking forward to working with Frederic again in a couple of months.

– setting a tailored plan to my needs and scheduling
– setting a plan that positions me for success
– being responsive and clear on his feedback

Corrine simply put has helped me realize gains in performance and personal goals that I would never have realized on my own. Her approach is a unique intersection of coaching science, discipline and fun mixed with the pragmatic reality that running is an important part of my life but not the only part. She is always accessible to answer questions, walk through race strategy or to help understand and incorporate feedback and thoughts on data from Training Peaks or personal thoughts and experience. Her approachable manner and deep experience both in running and competitive sports at the highest level brings a unique resource to the ‘everyday’ athlete. Her commitment to your success and satisfaction is tangible and importantly genuine. It is a unique opportunity to find that great intersection of the scientific coaching coupled with the experience of a high performance athlete who can meet you where you are and help you improve but also enjoy the journey along the way! I cannot give a strong enough endorsement and would recommend Corrine without reservation to anyone who has a serious desire to learn, improve and enjoy the process.

Ivana has been great. She communicates really well. Takes the time to get to know you and find out how she can help you to improve.

I hired a coach to add some variety to my workouts and make the most of the time I could dedicate over the course of a week. Ryne was fantastic at both keeping things fresh with purpose while building a schedule with enough flexibility to adapt if life suddenly got in the way. He is very easy to talk to over the phone and quick to respond to text messages with questions that popped up on occasion. I also really appreciated him really digging in after I had a bad race to understand why things went wrong and revamped my entire training plan leading up to my next race to ensure we addressed some of the issues I had. The result was me walking into my next race full of confidence and successfully finishing. The only reason I am currently stopping coaching is that my wife and I are welcoming our first child very soon and I simply cannot dedicate the same time to my running. If I end up hiring a coach again at some point in the future, I have no doubt that I’ll be reaching out to Ryne again!

Addison’s coaching is a game-changer. Over two seasons, he’s fueled my progress from 20k to 100k races. His holistic support covers training, fueling, gear, and race prep, all backed by invaluable feedback. Our weekly catch-ups optimize strategies, nutrition, and gear adjustments – a race-prep lifeline. Thanks to Addison, I’ve conquered longer distances, elevated results, and savored training and racing like never before. Highly recommended.

Motivation, enthusiasm, accountability

El Jefe or fearless leader as I know him has gone above and beyond my plan. I signed up for the cheapest one as funds are tight and I live in Indonesia. He has gone out of his way countless times( I’v been wearing 5 fingers for years like a dirty hippie I feel Koop’s eyes rolling). When I told Frederic that and my hippie shoes he didn’t flinch and just said if that’s what you want we will work with that.

He responds promptly and we chat regularly, and with great insights. He lets me do what I feel is right for me with great guidance and has worked around all different issues with terrain my lifestyle living in a small village in , Bali that barely has roads.

I will use his technique in my own coaching for swimming and freediving and hope that he gets the recognition he deserves as he is an amazing human and ya just a good dude that is there to help and what more coaches need to do, listen. He truly has changed me as an athlete and a coach/ teacher.

Andy is the coach I looked for, for five years. Of course he knows his technical stuff. Where he shines is both listening to what I know about myself and suggesting workouts that push my fitness and self concepts. I work harder when I don’t have complex workouts. He gives me blocks of intervals that don’t require much thinking, just time them and put in the effort. No complexity to trip me up. My recovery from heart-valve surgery accelerated with his thoughtful, challenging intervals and foundation work. I’m impressed that I’ve gained stamina even as I’ve gotten well past the 70 year mark with more than seven years of previous demanding training.

I will workout on my own, but I workout more often and more regularly when a coach posts workouts and gives me actionable feedback afterwards. I have lots of questions and he gives thoughtful answers, suggests reasons, and encourages experimentation. And what a bonus that he was a competitive tandem rider and understands the demands of a couple riding together as well as my miles on a single bike.

Darcie has been amazing! I am currently on a pause due to personal stressors but she is so responsive, knowledgable, and helpful. 10/10 recommend.

Less stress deciding what, when, and how to train.

Helping me understand what we are doing and how it effects my performance.

Helping me put my race results in perspective. It’s good to have a neutral third party to discuss races with.

I have confidence in his prescriptions. He has trained and is training older athletes.

I have discovered I can do more than I thought I could.

It’s unfortunate he lives so far away. Adding skills coaching to the package would be very beneficial.

learning every single day, i do think the personal approach is the biggest plus at CTS.
coach Stephanie is excellent for daily communication, finetuning every week
and other stuff as nutrition and while discussing the progress and adapting to stress levels
i really like to know the why as it keeps my motivation levels high.
getting coached helps me daily to focus on proper execution only, and loosing less energy on self coaching, so more time for mental recovery

Working with Addison has been an absolute game changer. He’s kept me sharp enough to jump in races as the come but also kept me focused on my long term goals. He’s been there to help me understand efforts in interval and tempo workouts and how to analyze data in training peaks. He’s also been great helping me adjust when family life gets busy so I dont feel like I’m missing a beat. I can easily say I’m in the best shape of my life!

Stephanie provides a detailed and adaptable, non generic training plan to help me work towards a 300 self sustained km challenge early 2022. Her advice and feedback is precise, and got me away from the mindset that “more is better”, and more in tune with how I feel when I am training. Weekly training goals are clearly set, and are achievable. I also love to be coached by a woman, as she understands the challenges of motherhood and the impact juggling work/ family/ running can have on your performance some days.

I’ll preface this review with the fact that I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a Bachelors’ Degree in Exercise Science. I’m a trail/ultra coach myself and was looking for a coach who could truly challenge me physically and was someone I could learn from to better my own coaching. Corrine is the cream of the crop. I super appreciated her respect for the science, but also has tremendous experience to draw from. I DNF’d the Run Rabbit Run 100 back in 2016 and finally decided to give it another go. I hired Corrine to make absolutely sure that I could complete my goal, and in a way that I felt proud of. But I’m a busy dad who runs a business… Corrine was easy to work with and respected my schedule and life obligations. I highly recommend working with CTS and especially Corrine. They’re doing it right. The bar for entry to be a coach these days is LOW, and at CTS they make sure you’ll have a solid coach who can get you where you want to be!

I am a 78-year-old lifelong cyclist and contacted Coach Max when I registered for the Hincapie Gran Fondo in Bentonville, hoping I could increase my average and complete the 86 miles in six hours in the three months until race day.

Coach Max designed a program to ride three one-hour intense interval sessions during the week, which I performed on my indoor smart trainer. On weekends, Max assigns 2-3 hour rides with longer tempo and steady state intervals.

I finished the Gran Fondo with 86.4 miles and 6000 feet elevation gain in 5 hours 45 minutes, beating my goal by 15 minutes.

My performance and enjoyment on the bike have improved such that I am extending my contract with Max as long as I can safely manage the road and gravel rides.

Max is an experienced cyclist and professional coach who understands my issues and abilities and adjusted my program on the fly when I had an injury. He is available for phone calls and responds quickly when my Garmin data are uploaded after a session. I highly recommend Max for any cyclist who wishes to improve their enjoyment and performance on the bike.

Great coaches, good value. Have worked with several through the years and enjoyed coaching relationship with each of them.

Jane turned me from a strong 12 hour rider to someone who managed to finish RAW solo. I’m 57 and I’ve never been faster on a bike. I couldn’t do it without her

Working with Coach Fitz has opened my eyes to the benefits of customizing and adapting training that is specific to my needs. While I am focused on ultra running, he is also able to prescribe training across other modalities to combine everything into a single plan with the ultimate end goal of making me a better athlete. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with coaches prescribing standard training (i.e. threshold, intervals, long run in a week) that I can accomplish on my own through any training book or website. In addition to the effective training, Coach Fitz thinks about the “other” factors that make preparing for ultra distance races unique (nutrition, temperature, terrain, etc.). We’re just getting started on this journey, but I’m stoked to see how much progress is made after stacking multiple training blocks together.
