"When I first developed an interest in triathlons, I initially trained myself, and then utilized an online “stock” training service. While I was able to complete the events I entered, I felt like I could do better. After a dismal finish in the Gulf Coast Triathlon, I began talking with Jeff Bowman, expressed my frustrations and explained my desire for better performances. Jeff then placed me under his tutelage.
After meeting with Jeff and discussing my medical history (I am asthmatic, and have surgically repaired knees and shoulders) Jeff developed an individualized training plan which he designed to have me in peak physical condition for my events. This plan enabled me to train hard, yet it provided adequate downtime and rest to compete at my personal best, which I am proud to say, resulted in numerous personal records. These PR’s came in every event from the 1 mile, 5K, 10K and 15K and included both the half and full marathons. More importantly, I established PR’s in sprint distance, Olympic Distance and half-Ironman distance triathlons. In working with Jeff, I bettered my sprint times 30 minutes and my half-Ironman times by more than an hour.
I truly believe that Jeff’s personal, hands on attention made the difference, and that without Jeff, I would have not been able achieve the accomplishments I did.
I highly recommend Jeff!"

"Typically, you think of a coach as someone who can tell you “how” to accomplish something without the experience or willingness to invest in the long painful process of elimination associated with testing various running/swim/bike form modifications.
Having solid personal event experience, in my book, is not an option, but a requirement from a coach.
I’ve been highly impressed with Chuck’s ability to provide concise illustrations as to exactly what I can do to improve, along with the fastest avenue to get there. I’m training less now, than ever, yet I’ve seen a significant drop in overall completion times as well as an increase in overall strength during my races.
Chuck truly believes in creating a training program that fits within your schedule and allows you to achieve the success you’ve always dreamed of"

"In a clinic lasting no more than an hour, the coaches with Revolutions Triathlon Coaching corrected 2 things I was doing wrong. When I applied their tips the next week in my swim sessions, I noticed I moved quicker through the water and I was much less fatigued after my workouts. In weeks of masters swimming, I had never been given the feedback I needed to correct my stroke. The benefit of a triathlon coach who knows the sport and can work one-on-one with you saves time and money and allows you to be more efficient in your training so that you can improve, no matter what your level. I am very thankful that we have the Revolutions Triathlon Coaches right in our back yard, providing experienced coaching."

"In preparing for my first tri, I attempted to train alone, but was soon hampered by knee injuries from overtraining. I sought the help of the Rev Tri coaches and they were able to formulate a training plan that allowed my knees to heal while still becoming more adept at the skills needed for a triathlon. When I first met Jeff, Ann and Chuck, I could barely swim a few laps without stopping and I had not ridden a bike in years. However, with their daily training programs and advice, their clinics, and their one-on-one sessions with me, I have been able to vastly improve my swimming, biking, and running skills in order to complete my first triathlon, and I am excited about participating in many more tris.
Not only are Jeff, Ann, and Chuck great coaches and outstanding athletes who are always willing to answer any questions that I may have and offer advice and motivation, they are truly caring people who wish to impart their knowledge of triathlons on all types of athletes from seasoned triathlon competitors to newbies. On the morning of my first triathlon, in which Jeff was also competing, Jeff checked on me several times to make sure I was okay. This truly showed me how great of coach and person he was because instead of taking all his time to prepare for a race in which he was actually competing for a top finish, he was concerned about me, who was just trying to complete my first tri. I cannot speak highly enough of the Rev Tri coaches and I am indebted to them for instilling a love of triathlons in me."

"Thank you to Chuck Kemeny, Jeff and Ann Bowman for high quality coaching and swimming stroke analysis. With the participation in two Revolutions: Triathlon Coaching swim clinics held during the 2010 triathlon season, I was able to improve my 2.4 mile swim time at Ironman Florida by nearly 7 minutes. Chuck worked diligently with me to provide very useful feedback in the mechanics of my freestyle stroke. His explanation and ability to diagnose even the minute details of a stroke made huge improvements in my efficiency and times. I look forward to more high quality clinics to be put on by Revolutions: Triathlon Coaching."

"Having competed in triathlons for over 25 years, I was looking for someone to revitalize my training regimen along with improving race performance. Rev Tri coaching accomplished just that! Thanks to Chuck's and Jeff’s individualized training programs and their technique analysis , all three triathlon disciplines improved significantly producing quality results in all distances - from sprint triathlons to half-Ironman and ironman distance. Through frequent communication and their expert guidance, the training plans were individualized to fit my specific needs for the upcoming races. This allowed me to perform at my very best, physically and mentally. I look forward to working with both guys again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone needing excellent coaching for triathlon events."

After being injured with a broken pelvis the last two years, my goal for 2011 was simply to return to training and racing, with very low expectations. In an effort to maximize the time I have to train, which, like most people, is minimal, given two young children and a full-time legal practice, I decided to pursue Jeff and Chuck as coaches. After just four weeks of training, my fitness drastically increased. I went from barely managing 21-22mph on the bike for shorter distances (and strongly disliking it) to averaging 24mph+ and loving it! My goals of just making it through the year have now become more aggressive because I have first hand witnessed the impact smart coaching can have on one’s success. Moreover, Jeff and Chuck are realistic in the workouts they give – they recognize your time constraints, work with your schedule, identify your weaknesses and design a plan that fits into your real world while also challenging you to be the best you can be given the circumstances. I would absolutely recommend Jeff and Chuck to anyone who wants to improve their fitness, whether a new triathlete or a seasoned veteran.

After a 6 year layoff I returned to do an Ironman and improved by over 3 hours thanks to Chuck and Revolutions: Triathlon Coaching! The insight was incredible as Chuck would first ask my thoughts on the question I just asked him. This way we both began to know how each other thought. Each workout was purposeful so there was no wasted time and I knew the direction I was headed.
When the day came for Ironman I was confident and so well prepared. My plan "A" had become habit and when at times I had to resort to plan "B" that was also well entrenched in my head. To say an Ironman was fun is kind of crazy talk but to say that training for the Ironman was fulfilling and purposeful is even crazier but that's the way I felt. I had a goal and had a friend as a coach to skillfully guide me along the path. Thanks Chuck and Revolutions: Triathlon Coaching. It truly was a Revolution!.
