“Karl coached me for Ironman UK. He took me from swimming 4 lengths to completing the IM swim in a little over an hour. On top of that, Karl coached all three swim sessions per week, led guided rides and took weekly coached running sessions for the Defence Academy of the UK and coached multiple GB Age Group triathletes. We have remained friends ever since and to this day Karl is generous with his time and advice. An absolute gentleman.”

“Coach Karl has trained and developed my swimming for over 10 years. He is the best adult swim teacher and coach I’ve come across and he has vastly improved my technique and kept it fun whilst doing so. Teaching adults new tricks is difficult, but Karl seems to have it nailed. His techniques are innovative and keep the training interesting. He’s also very reasonably priced, especially given the amount of effort and personalised attention he’ll give you outside of lesson time. He is the coach I recommend to all my friends, whether it’s for in person sessions or remote training schedules. In triathlon, he has seen me through all distances of triathlon, from Ironman distance down. He provides me with bespoke training packages and has been instrumental in helping me score some decent times, including a couple of victories.”

“Can’t recommend Coach Karl enough. The support has been second to none. The program is amazing. For someone who was terrified of swimming in the ocean to completing a 4km open swim and 2 x 70.3 Ironmans under his guidance... I am forever grateful”

“I have been training with Coach Karl for about 3.5 months. I came across Coach Karl’s page after I had competed in a sprint triathlon that I wasn’t entirely satisfied with my performance. However I felt it was a reflection of my current app based training program I was using. I felt stuck. I wanted to to continue pursuing my fitness goals but was becoming demotivated by my own lack of progression despite the hours I was putting in.
I was nervous to start working with a coach because of my lack of experience (and my lack of equipment). However Coach Karl was gracious to work with where I am and what I have available to me. We work together remotely as I am in a town about 1000 km away from him. As soon as I started working with him, I started to love training again. The sessions he wrote were always varied and tough enough to keep me interested and excited to do the training of the day. It was amazing to see how within just a few short weeks of working with him I was finally able to break 30 minutes in a 5K, something I thought was impossible for me. I was even able to get a small personal best in a 70.3 on a course and in conditions much harder than my previous 70.3 attempt.
It’s been so nice working with Coach Karl as he has been able to adjust things as I need with my schedule and I don’t have to worry about am I still getting in a proper training load. With his experience and knowledge, I don’t have to worry about my training. My job is to open TrainingPeaks and do the work. With my busy schedule, I know I am only still progressing and motivated due to his help. I am excited to see how much I can continue to grow in my fitness goals in the coming year with Coach Karl’s training.”
