"I started training with Coach Tony about 3 years ago as I was preparing to run a marathon. I was not familiar with strength training at all at the time. This entire journey has been a challenge for me in terms of my fitness but also it has helped me grow as an individual. I have had to step out of my comfort zone by stepping into the gym, walking past the treadmill and picking up some weight.

Coach Tony has been patient with me the entire time, we have had moments of continuous improvement, hitting PR’s after PR’s but we have also had times where I plateau. But he continues to encourage me and motivate me to keep going and focus on the long term goal of being a successful athlete.

I am now on my way to run my 4th marathon still training alongside Coach Tony. Most people would probably not have a coach at this point of their journey but I honestly plan on having Tony as my coach long term because I truly believe that having a coach that motivates you and pushes no matter what point you are on your journey is really important. I’m excited for this upcoming marathon as well as continuing to reach my other fitness goals.”

Coach Tony: Elise has truly shown what it takes to be consistent and trusting the process. Although this post shows more of her wins, she’s also has faced challenges throughout our time training together. However, she persevered and continues to be hungry for more.
