Triathlon Coaching Testimonials

"To say that Marie Perkins knows her stuff is a bit of an understatement. In addition to being a three-time Ironwoman and ultra- marathon runner (having tackled the esteemed South African 89 km Comrades Marathon), she is an accomplished Kinesiologist. Not a bad mix for a coach!"

-Mary-Jo, triathlete

“Marie has been coaching me for just over 8 months towards my goal of completing Ironman Canada.  This past weekend I competed in a Half Ironman and took over an hour off my previous time!  Marie's personalized plan is clearly working.  Marie is always willing and able to share her considerable knowledge and experience to help motivate and educate, she also listens to feedback and adjusts the plan accordingly.  I have no doubt I will complete the Ironman with Marie's help.”

-Andrea, Future Ironman Finisher

“Marie Perkins has the knowledge and the race experience to guide an athlete through any endurance event. She also has the ability to motivate when times get tough to help you succeed at your goal.”

-Chad, Ironman triathlete

Personal Training Testimonials

"As a 40-something, who woke up to the realization it was time to get back in shape, I've found Marie to be knowledgeable, attentive, patient and inspirational.  Marie's experience has taught me anything is possible."

- C. W.

“After I turned fifty, the extra few pounds crept up on me year-by-year. It wasn’t just the weight but my energy was low and like flossing one’s teeth, exercising was something I put off until tomorrow.

Marie designed a fitness plan just for me. It’s fast, fun and the energy I feel after my program is surprising. I look forward to my workouts now. I’ve been able to eliminate the added weight, have a new level of energy; I am sleeping better at night and getting much more accomplished during the day. Most of all I miss the days when I can’t exercise. I’ve never felt better.”

-Retired Dental Assistant, 58 years old

“Marie has given me appropriate exercise for my age and ability that can be done in half an hour, three times per week and alternating small walks 3 times per week. It is not too much that I will not do it and it is enough to make me feel good after.”

-Jackie, 58 years old
