Our Story

 

Find Your Fast Coaching is an online coaching service for athletes of all ages (18+) and abilities. Our goal is to help you reach your potential and Find Your Fast, whatever that may be. Just as “Find Your Fast” carries a unique meaning for each individual, every training plan is customized to fit your lifestyle and based on your specific needs. With varying levels of support and communication, you can choose the option best suited for you. Personal coaching is an ongoing, subscription-based plan providing the highest level of service; while custom-built training plans offer an up front schedule of training for your selected duration, but without ongoing support and communication. See “Services” for a more in-depth look at each option.
