Dallas Parsons, sports nutritionist

"Mike has coached me in the sport of triathlon for the past 3 years. My swimming, cycling and running have all improved enormously; just look at my results in this website's 'Hall of Fame'. At my first sprint triathlon in 2001, I did a walk-run on the 5km run course. In June 2003, I completed my first Half-Ironman!! And now, I'm training with Mike for Ironman Canada 2004. Come on out!"

Cary Parsons, IBM sales

"The coaching and training I have received from Mike Bobick has been invaluable.

Mike shows up for every workout prepared to have fun and motivate you to achieve a level he knows that you are capable of. In addition to Mike's coaching, Kinetic Potential is a fun and energetic Triathlon Club."

Ann Oishi, college athletic director

"I had a real curiosity in attempting a triathlon and had no idea where to start. After finding Coach Bobick and his Kinetic Potential group, I got heaps of professional information, coaching, guidance, and support. Mike and his group have been a huge part of my life - this new group of friends have given me so much motivation and more importantly, brought fun into this new adventure in my life.

I have an excellent training program to follow and lots of personalized workouts, and it is with this direction that Ihave confidence, after only 2 seasons of doing triathlon races, that I can finish Ironman 2004!"

Marc Perrot, construction worker

"My journey in preparation for Ironman Canada was a great experience. Training under the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable coach certainly helped propel me to a higher fitness level, and a finishing time that I did not think was attainable for my first Ironman (10:11:27!!).

I would recommend Kinetic Potential to any athlete looking to better their times and enjoy the camaraderie of training with a group."

Belinda O'Loan, UBC English student

"In just over a year, I went from completing my first sprint distance triathlon to finishing Ironman Canada in just over 13 hours. If it hadn't been for Mike's encouragement, support, and coaching skills, I don't think I would have made it!

I particularly recommend Mike to either the rookie who is training for their first triathlon the experienced triathelete who is looking to tackle a new distance or event."

Andrew Davidson, student

"With Coach Mike's training I successfully completed 2 triathlons in the 2003 season and have learned a lot. His philosophy of life-long training has helped me maintain a state of physical fitness and well-being as I focus on my studies. The group is very supportive as well, which makes training that much more enjoyable."

Michael Lee, Air Canada - in-charge flight attendant

"When I decided to start a triathlon trainin, I was looking for two things - an experienced coach and a fun training group.

Secondly, the other members of Kinetic Potential helped motivate and get that little extra out of me. No matter how keen I was, I had my ups and downs and knowing that there were other athletes going through the same thing sure made it easier and more fun."

Calvin Kuo, computer specialist

"Training for triathlon has helped me a great deal both personally and athletically. My confidence level has skyrocketed since I started.

The group is small and the atmosphere is very cozy like a family. I think it's a great value that Mike provides."

Georg Rieger, physics lecturer & research associate

"I started running about two years ago, using a running program out of a book. I was able to build up to 7-kilometre runs and I competed in my first sprint triathlon.

I can definitely recommend Mike's workouts to anybody looking for improvement in his or her running. You will not only improve but you will also have fun with a nice group of people. Mike is a very supportive coach and tailors the workouts to the individual goals and needs of his athletes whether you are a beginner like me or a seasoned pro."
