Susan B. - Master Athlete

After a month of doing your program, I feel tremendously better. I mean it really makes a difference, so I thank you very, very much!” 

Siphiwe B. - Masters National Champion

Next year when I begin my serious training for the “Fastest 50” (world record in the men’s 50-54 50 meter freestyle), I’ll be re-hiring the strength coach who helped me set four national records, win 10 national championships, and get four silver medals at Masters Swimming World Championships. I want the best, so I hire the best! Strength training and injury prevention is not always what you think is its. Bo understands the whole picture. It is not about training more. It’s about training smarter! Whether you’re an age group or a masters swimmer, Bo understands the subtle differences."

“Thanks to Bo and his constant assessment, intervention, and re-design of the program, I was able to complete the swim from England to France.”

Rhonda N. - Triathlete, Snowshoe Competitor

I was a good swimmer with decent triathlon times but once I was chosen as an Angel for MyTeam Triumph for the swim portion of Ironman Wisconsin, I knew I needed to up my game to be able to swim fast while pulling a raft with someone in it. And that’s where Bo came in, via a reference from someone who completed the 2.4 mile swim portion of the Ironman as a previous Angel.
I have been working with Bo for five months now and couldn’t be happier with my results. Not only did he make me a strong swimmer, but the workouts he prepared for me, also made me a stronger, faster cyclist and runner. My triathlon times kept getting faster and I was able to PR at many events.  When I first talked to Bo, he asked where I worked out and what equipment I have access to. I mainly workout at home or outside except when I go to the pool to swim when open water swimming isn’t an option. He designed all my workouts around the equipment I already used. The workouts fit easily into my training schedule. The exercises were easy to learn because of the instructional video that you can view for each exercise. Bo also took into account my past injuries and adjusted workouts when needed. I like that after each workout session, there is a comment section that you can ask questions and document how the workout went and any other training issues you need help with. Bonus, I love how my body toned and reshaped. I was not looking to lose weight, but I did end up losing inches.
I look forward to continuing my training with Bo and can’t wait to see what happens next triathlon season."

Judy Gimik - Masters Swimmer

Bo has been an indispensable part of my swimming program. He expertise has helped me with dryland training, which has helped prevent injury. It’s also made me a faster swimmer, and all-around more fit. He’s also a great guy, super enthusiastic, and a lot of fun to work with!”

Tom S.​ - MASTERS OPEN WATER SWIMMER

Overall, I am really happy with the focused exercises throughout the workout. They all felt good, no pain, and I can feel my flexibility starting to come back!"

Rich H. - USMS NAtional Champion

I have been training with Bo for three years now. He works with all fitness levels and adapts your training to your abilities and lifestyle. So from beginner to elite level athlete, he can make you better. I have become a USMS (masters swimming) National Champion and top-5 in several other USMS events."

Piper E. - Former College Athlete 

I really liked how you could see how each of the exercises was related to my goals. If you had a question about an exercise, you could always reach out to Coach Bo and he would be very responsive of why we were doing certain things. I noticed that I improved flexibility in my shoulders and didn't have the same overuse injuries that I experienced in previous years. I got stronger and lost a good bit of weight. After swimming for a long time and hitting a point where I was not improving a lot, I started noticing improvements quickly while working with Coach Bo and even took 2nd at nationals in the 50 BK."

​The programming is particularly well-thought-out. The workouts are pre-planned monthly. The training takes into consideration my access to equipment (bodyweight, light training equipment or weights). I like the training app a lot - more than others I've tried, it feels like I have a virtual coach. From the moment I begin my workout, I've got a quick readiness assessment (which helps check how I'm progressing and can indicate overtraining). Bo's designed the workouts themselves in phases. For example, we might begin with a quick warm-up set of exercises; then move to a specific prep set for the work to come; then on to main focus sets that work on strength/balance/conditioning. 

I think what I most appreciate is how close this feels to a regular training experience: I have a workout, I have access to a coach demonstrating every exercise as I do it, I have an opportunity to measure my performance and make regular notes; I can directly message my coach or share a video of me performing an exercise -- all in the app. It doesn't feel like cookie-cutter training. At all stages, I feel like I have access to a coach and a community of other athletes.

I can't stress the team nature of the workouts: there's a thematic focus to the training for the month; Bo previews that month's training and touches on new exercises or areas worth focusing on; there are monthly office hours for questions; in my app I can directly message my coach or post to a team feed.

I had recurring pain in my neck and upper shoulder area after swimming, and it was this constant cycle of being stuck swimming until the pain forced me to stop, sitting out for a week and losing any training benefit, and then restarting from the same broken place each time. I've tried other training programs (and I've even tried other personal trainers), but it wasn't until I committed to doing a cycle of Bo's "Injury Prevention" track that the pain finally went away. 

I've also recently gone through a couple of periods where life has caught up with me and I'm getting distracted from my training. The regular communication cadence with the Lifelong Athlete keeps bringing me back onto a course correction. I've tried other online programs - this is the only program that consistently makes me feel accountable and I actually enjoy doing."
