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!"

Interview with Tri-Maine owner Will Thomas

Co-founder of Athlete’s Training Systems, Tim DeMado, sat down with Tri-Maine owner Will Thomas to answer a few questions about the importance of strength and core training for the triathlete. See what Will had to say about this and what ATS can do for you.

1) Do you feel that strength training is an important component to the triathlete’s training program? If so, why and when is the best time of year for he or she to follow a strength training program?
“Absolutely. Strength training is critical based on my own personal experience and also what I’ve read and seen with other triathletes. It’s important to have strength training incorporated into your training regimen year round. However, it’s really important during the off-season in the fall and winter when both your body and mind are tired of doing the same old routine, clocking all those miles and laps in the pool. Getting into a different program that emphasizes strength training as well as torso development, mobility and flexibility will get you into the early season feeling strong.
