Client is a stronger and better runner after RunStrong Challenge

"Being a member of Garrett’s RunStrong Challenge has significantly changed my life for the better — I am a stronger, better runner because of him. Immediately, I could tell that Garrett truly, truly cares about each and every one of his clients. He is patient, attentive, kind, and EXTREMELY intelligent. It is important to be able to trust your coach, and Garrett seamlessly built that foundation of trust and respect from day one."

Enjoyed her evaluation and custom running and strength training workouts

“I've spent the past few years struggling with injury and endurance that had me ready to quit running altogether. After seeing the progress my friend made, I decided to join the 6 week RunStrong Challenge. Garrett has a thorough evaluation that he uses to customize your weekly runs & corrective and strength workouts. He's attentive, involved and I've already started to see improvements in the last six weeks. I've done PT before but Garrett is the first person to pinpoint one of my major problem areas and to give me exercises to correct it. It's been so great!

Happy triathlete

"What a thorough assessment I had from head to toe:literally Garrett had me move my toes to see how flexible my feet were! Who does that? I highly recommend Garrett unless you are a male 55-59 in a run event with me OR a male 60-64 in a Triathlon event with me... everyone else should use his services!"

Safe return to running following tibial stress fracture

“Garrett is a phenomenal coach and an even better person. I have had a wonderful experience with him returning to running from a really bad stress fracture. He is a good listener and you can tell he plans your program with the feedback you are giving him through his proactive check-ins. He makes it really easy to follow the program he lays out and also easily adjusts or pivots depending on what is happening in real time. In addition, he does a good job of providing the education and resources needed to deliver on the plan.”

Client improved running form and foundation to keep training

“I have been working with Garrett McLaughlin for the last 6 weeks as a participant in the RunStrong Challenge. It has been an excellent experience starting with Garrett doing a full eval for each participant to tailor a program for each of us to follow based on their goals/injuries, etc. The accountability thru the touch base sessions and training app are great as is the ongoing feedback based on how I am doing with the exercises from a technique perspective even though it is thru a virtual experience. I found the running evaluation very helpful to help improve my running form and feel I have developed a good foundation to go forward in my training to keep me running efficiently and injury free.”

Client returned to running with less imbalances and better flexibility

“I am fortunate to have Garrett help me in getting back to running. He took the time to evaluate my imbalances dealing with strength and flexibility. He developed a dynamic program of strength and flexibility exercises personally designed to my needs. These exercises were put on an app that had videos and written explanations. The app was easy to use and highly motivating. Garrett was very accessible and would check in with me often. I am happy to say I am stronger after completing his program than I was before I was injured. I highly recommend Garrett for any of your exercise or rehabilitation needs.”

Terri received a personalized program even with online training from Michigan

“Participating with a professional, informed, thorough and caring person like Garrett McLaughlin has been life enhancing. He is able to complete a personal and individualized assessment to design a person specific program that he easily adapts and adjusts based on progress. The results have been self knowledge, and injury prevention with increased strength, better form and improved performance all in a spirit of fun. The exciting thing is that he is able to provide personalized care even remotely. I can't give a high enough rating and I would recommend Garrett far and wide.”
