Gage Total Training

GENERAL INFORMATION

"What We Do"

We Coach Endurance Athletes. We work with adults who want to pursue "endurance athletics": Triathlons, marathons, ultramarathons, long distance cycling, and adventure racing. We also conduct a swim program that is geared toward triathletes and fitness swimmers. We coach and guide our athletes through a combination of training plans and group activities, as described below.

We Design Personal Training Plans. With a good training plan, and diligent work, the sky's the limit! We create the plan, you do the work, and then the benefits come! In creating your training plan, we consider your personal schedule (work, family, other commitments) and your personal goals, and then design a training plan that fits your lifestyle while moving you toward your goals.

Each Athlete Gets a Specific Plan. Each athlete we coach has a personal "login" that allows them to access their own schedule from our website. They can then view their entire training plan for the upcoming month, and each day of their schedule has a description of the workouts that they should do that day. Athletes can log the workouts that they complete, and, if they like, leave us notes about each workout. That way, we can follow the progress of each athlete, and provide guidance when needed.

Group Activity Options. We have trained many athletes who do all of their training on their own, and never train in groups. Others really like the camaraderie and motivation that comes with having training partners. If you are looking for training partners and you live in either the Ahwatukee or Scottsdale area, we have some good news: When you sign up for our coaching, you also automatically become part of our club (TriScottsdale Gage Racing). The club allows you to participate in a number of group activities: There are 3 swims per week at the AZ Grand that are available for $5 per class or $30 per month; there is a group run every Wednesday morning from the AZ Grand for no additional charge, and there are bike rides at various times during the week and on the weekends. The schedule for these events is sent out each week to club members via a group message board. Also, club members can post things triathlon-related on the group message board, so if they want to arrange their own group activity, they can propose the idea to the group. Club members also get discounts at various retailers and service providers that serve the triathlon community. [If you are already a member of another Triathlon Club, we do not require you to be in the TriScottsdale Gage Racing club, so don't worry if you have an existing club allegiance*.]

One-On-One. We also offer one-on-one personal training, personal swim lessons, personal running form analysis, personal cycle pedaling technique analysis, and personal goal-setting and mental performance strategies.

Full Year of Individual Plans. $999. In this package, you get one full year of everything listed under the Monthly Individualized Plan package, but at a price that works out to be less cost than if you paid on a month-to-month basis.

Fast Friends Program: Price varies, depending upon the size of the group. If you and a group of your friends are all training for the same race, a "group training plan" can be created by us. Contact us for details.

*Note: All athletes we coach are eligible to be part of the TriScottsdale Gage Racing triathlon organization (the “Gage club”), which provides members with group training opportunities throughout the Valley, plus discounts at certain retail and service providers, plus other benefits. We reserve the right to change these opportunities and benefits, and change or limit their availability, at any time.
