Client Testimonials:

“Robert is a very knowledgeable physiologist and trainer who is able to understand where an athlete is, where they want to be, and how best to get there. He works with athletes of all levels and is able to explain complex topics in terms that clients can apprehend and put to use.”

“I started training with Bob for a century when I was 65. From the beginning I was impressed by his broad knowledge of training methods, by his perceptiveness in articulating training sessions, and by his always professional attitude—as well as obviously reflecting a very personal interest in me and my training needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach; in both tangible and intangible terms, I received a great deal more from Bob than the money I invested with him. I was with Bob for about a year and a half—it was an extremely productive, satisfying relationship.”

“Using the lactate testing from Bob, I have been able to drop over a minute and a half off my 5 minute run time trial in only two months (at the same heart rate)!”

“Bob’s customer service is awesome...how can you complain about a company that caters to your every need as an athlete and a customer!” 


“I would like to start out saying that if you have Bob coach you, YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOAL. I have been racing for 34 years, having been state and nationally ranked. Last year (2007) nationals were in town and I was telling coach Bob that I would like race well at nationals- and here are the buts- work, family, training time, some of you might be there. Coach Bob HEARD ALL OF THIS STUFF, then he asked; you want to do this?- see you in the gym. First thing we changed were some old stale workouts and started working on balance and power. Coach Bob spent two hours one-on-one. He handed the routine to me and off I went. In the gym 3 times each week and some indoor riding. He then fine tuned it more. The gym program went till May, the riding took more time, we worked power and speed, the most important thing is that Coach Bob was there the whole time. He was also in my head on staying focused and not doing more then I should. It was a great thing to have coach Bob- MY WORDS can’t thank him enough. If you are seeking a coach, with coach Bob you will reach your goal. P.S.- I am nationally ranked again! Thanks coach Bob!”

"Coach Bob knows his stuff and I had complete confidence in his coaching ability from the beginning. He has helped me to build a base that can be used to improve my overall ability and move me to the next level."

“The pack runs as fast as the lead wolf. Coach Bob Blaisdell, with his consistent motivation, consistent dedication to detail and quality training knowledge has made me one fast wolf in the 62+ duathlon and run events. He is definitely the lead "wolf" in his field!”

“I highly recommend Bob Blaisdell. I contacted Bob to help with a nagging leg injury. He analyzed my position on the bike and developed solutions to relieve my aches and get me training again. He is methodical, patient, professional, and very knowledgeable. I can't thank Bob enough for all of his help.”

“Bob has helped me to meet my goals on the track and exceed them in cyclocross racing. He's laid out a training plan that is well thought out and has helped me to develop the specific areas of my racing. As a 40+ racer with an active full time job, it's been tough for me to work with a coach who understands the additional stress that life can cause. Bob has listened to my needs and laid out a plan that takes my life into account. I couldn't be more pleased with my coaching experience with Bob, a great coach and an all around nice guy.”
