FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

What will GageTotalTraining do for me?
What we do is consult with you and find out about your individual goals.  We then design monthly work-out programs that are individualized to fit your needs.  We make up a monthly training chart/calendar for you, with suggested workouts for each day.  Each month, we ask you how your program is going, and if we need to, we modify the program for the next month in order to maximize your progress. 
Do you coach different levels of athletes?
We work with all levels of athletes, and we especially like to work with people who have a good attitude.
How about group workouts? 
When you are coached by us, you automatically become a member of the Gage Total Training Tri Club (2005 , 2006 and 2007 USAT Regional Club Champions!), which offers some group activities, which are no additional charge*.  These workouts are entirely optional and if they fit in your schedule, great; but if not, we encourage you to try to find other training partners that have similar goals and maybe train at similar speeds, so you have someone with whom to do your training (we can try and hook you up with others who are about your speed, if we know of folks looking for compatible training partners).  Group workouts vary from time to time throughout the year, so check the  Group Training page for the latest schedule. The group training is a great way to get in some good workouts and make friends at the same time. *(If you are only interested in the Gage Total Training Tri Club and not our coaching program, there are separate dues and requirements--please contact us for this information).
What about weights, stretching and nutrition?
We are both ACE certified as personal trainers, so we can design strength training and stretching programs as part of your monthly triathlon training program.  We are NOT registered dietitians, but we can give you general nutrition advice and/or race-specific nutritional ideas (i.e., what to eat and drink DURING a race).
What if I need one-on-one training?
We do offer one-on-one training (e.g., private swim lessons; private track running sessions; etc.) for a fee (which varies depending upon the service).  If you want more info on this, contact us.  Frankly, most people get enough info just through the monthly programs, doing some of the group things and asking us for tips from time to time.  But if you want to get some special private tutoring, we can do that, too.

I hope we’ve given you enough (and not too much) info about our coaching program.  If you have more questions, we are happy to answer them.  Just email us or call us at (480) 704 - 1295.
