Testimonials

"I have worked with multiple trainers before but was never able to achieve the physique i desired or improve my running times. I started training with Kim in February. Since then she has guided me through nutrition, ATS workouts, and training for my first tri-athalon. I've reached goals I never thought I could achieve, broke through my running plateau, and even won my age group in a 5k. With Kim's help I can only continue to get better!"

- Ashley Saleeba, Maine Med., Portland, ME

What is a fitness program without the right nutrition plan?

Athlete’s Training Systems is rooted in providing customized training programs for you to follow on your own. A do-it-yourself exercise routine if you will. The goal has been to give you a balanced exercise regimen, targeting all muscle groups in a progressive and systematic manner. Additionally, ATS has long been stressing the importance of sound nutrition to complement your workouts. In essence, there has to be a balanced exercise program combined with balanced nutrition. You can’t have one without the other. Finally this combination has taken shape.

Here's how our online nutrition software works!

Just enter the foods that you normally eat into our online system. Our software then points out opportunities and problems in your diet, and teaches you how to improve by removing or adding foods. For example, if you're eating too much cholesterol, or saturated fat, our program will show you which foods are causing you problems so that you can remove them from your diet and find other more healthy substitutes. If you're missing certain vitamins or minerals, our software will help you balance your meal plans by suggesting foods to add or replace. Our system helps you feel, look, and perform better.

Research shows that individuals that actively journal and plan their meals achieve better results than those that simply follow a published plan. Our online software works like your own private nutritionist, helping you build balanced meal plans using foods that you normally like to eat. We do not force you to radically change your eating habits, our online program simply points out ways to make your meals better for you. View the Demo.

Proper sleep, massage, and stretching all play a role. Today we are going to talk specifically about post-workout nutrition. Many times we don’t give it the same importance as the actual workout, yet it plays a critical role in how physically prepared we are for the next training session.
