Athlete Testimonials:
Coach Jim Burho provided the ideal training regimen that sculpted this out of shape 58 year old into a truly competitive triathlete. His unique understanding of biomechanics, combined with an intelligent use of technology, makes him a five star coach in my book."-Dan K.

Coach JB has been my coach for almost 2 years now. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and he makes your goals a priority. He prepared me for my very first triathlon, my first 70.3, and now my first 140.6! He does an excellent job listening and working around busy schedules. He also knows when you need a little pushing, because let's face it...we all have bad days. Having a coach like him, there to tell me to stay positive and keep my head up, is what made me the triathlete I am today. I've learned so much about this sport and about myself."-Mikayla B.

Coach JB is amazing! Before I started working with him I couldn't swim and couldn't ride a tri bike. In just one year, he prepared me to complete 3 half Ironman races and a full Ironman! And I did them all pain free, injury free, and felt very well prepared for each race. His knowledge and guidance with everything from training plans to nutrition was invaluable, he really knows his stuff! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get started in the sport of triathlon!"-Heather B.
