Pros:
Cost, Accessibility, Knowledge, Friendliness, Network of Industry experts, Connected with lots of group activities, Mutliple other athletes to train with, will make major improvements in anyone's athletic performance, Cares about keeping you healthy while improving your performance.Cons:
None...When I started with Experience Triathlon and Coach Joe I was a beginner Triathlete who was a complete coach potato, through Joe's coaching I was able to do my first Triathlon in only 3 months, I lost 15lbs, 5% body fat, and 62 points on my cholesteral. I wouldn't have been able to prepare myself for my first triathlon without the help of ET. You won't find a friendly, more motivating, more fun coach out there. I have been an athlete on different levels for years with many coaches and Joe is by far the best and more friendly coach I have ever had. He is worth every penny, I would pay double or more for the services he offers because he is worth every penny. I know that if I have any triathlon goals that Joe is the guy who will get me there. I have met tons of wonderful people to train with, and opened up my mind to thoughts of doing things I would have never though possible without Joe's help. I'm a first time triathlete but I have goals now of possibly doing an Olympic next year, and maybe an Ironman someday. Anyone who lives in the western, southern, or any suburbs of Chicago any is thinking of doing a Triathlon needs to contact Joe at Experience Triathlon, because you won't find a better friend to take you to the next level.
Do not TRI it alone!

Pros:
Individualized attention and designed workouts that custom fit YOUR lifestyle and your goals.There are a few moments in my life that I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. Meeting Coach Joe was one of them. I must have read every triathlon training book in the library and searched every website to design a training program to fit my lifestyle and my abilities. Search no more and stop wasting your time and risking injury! Coach Joe offers the best advice and strategies, period. The personal attention is unbelievable, not to mention his immense knowledge and experience with triathlons. I have had my share of coaches as a former college athlete. Coach Joe motivates you like no other coach. Becoming a triathlete is priceless. Coach Joe has changed my life. There is no reason to TRI it alone. With Coach Joe, you will have the support and resources that you need to succeed.
An excellent coaching philosophy
Coach Joe at ExperienceTriathlon has helped me to make this past racing season my best ever. I saw substantial gains in my 5K and 10K times, and completed my first half marathon. Not content with that, he's now teaching me (a person who's avoided deep water his entire life) to swim, so that next season I can compete in my first ever triathlon. Just one season with Coach Joe has truly changed my training and my life for the better, and I cannot wait until next year! Some other coaches offer lower prices for a standardized workout I could just have copied from a magazine or website. Coach Joe tailors my workouts to my individual strengths and weaknesses, focusing on areas for improvement. He stays in communication with his clients to keep abreast of their needs, their goals, and anything that is going on in their lives that will impact their training. If you are looking to achieve your best possible results in races, or even just to push yourself to a higher level of fitness, nothing beats individualized coaching. And ExperienceTriathlon can and will help you meet your goals.
