Success Stories

Dirk_100x100
Dirk, WI
2006 Ironman Wisconsin Finisher

“It was fun working with Gale and using her 13 week training plan.  Gale was incredible at adjusting the plan to fit my busy schedule and answering my questions.  Just when I was thinking there was no way it was all going to fit in, Gale would magically point out a couple of adjustments to the plan and "bam" I'm right back on track. I also enjoyed using the active training website.  The daily email reminders were a great motivator as well as the color coding scheme used in the calendar.  Because a missed training session would stick out as incomplete on the calendar, it made it more difficult to not complete a session.” 

Dirk completed IM Wisconsin 2006 in 11:31:37… an improvement of more than 20 minutes over his 2005 time. Dirk trained with Gale using Active Trainer as part of the Triathlete Magazine Lab Rabbit program in 2006.

Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon Virginia Beach Finisher

"You guys did a great training program and I followed it through the whole 14 weeks and finished 4th in my age division (Female 55 -59) with a time of 1:57:08. You guys rock. My two nieces also completed your program, training in Pennsylvania while I trained in Georgia and we tracked our progress online. It was great fun and kept all three of us on track to do our personal bests. Thanks again - a great program and I highly recommend it!"

“Thanks Gale Bernhardt! I completed my first Ironman Kona on Oct. 21, 2006.  I trained with your “13 weeks to a 13 hour ironman” plan.  I finished 13:08, even with a flat tire.  I enjoyed everything about that day.  I felt that the training schedule gave me plenty of family time, recovery time and at Ironman I was ready.  Thanks again for the plan it helped me achieve one of my dreams. Aloha!”
