SCIENTIFIC TRAINING & PERFORMANCE TESTIMONIALS

“Bob and Phase IV are great resources. Bob is the reason I have been able to stay healthy, and the blood lactate testing is really informative - my interval sessions are far more efficient and effective than they were before I had the information provided by Phase IV, something I have really noticed in my time trial efforts.”

-Joseph Chick, Triathlete, Age 41

“I was familiar with Robert Forster's philosophy of training from his talk at an AAF Track & Field Clinic in early 2006.

One of my athletes, Kristabel, had qualified for the State Meet in XC in 2005, and placed in 112th, with a time of over 20 minutes. It was this experience that motivated her to get additional help with her upper body strength and fitness.

I was pleased when I learned that she had changed her "personal trainer" to Phase IV, and I was very comfortable we could coordinate her running training on our team (Palisades H.S.), with the body work and nutritional counseling she was receiving from Phase IV.

The results have been spectacular, as she has become a recognized state level, and national level runner with three major invitational victories, all times for three mile courses under 18 minutes, and finally, a ninth place finish in the state meet (improving two minutes and 100 places over 2005), with a time of 18:10 (5k), and a 20th place in Foot Locker regional, earning third team All West. “

-Ronald Brumel, Head Track and XC Coach, Palisades Charter H.S.

“Last summer my training at Phase IV included an integrated weight training, running and cross training program. Running workouts were done in heart rate zones based on my lactate test. Improvement in my running form based on a Phase IV gait analysis was a significant factor in my dramatic improvement this fall. Based on my strong performance this fall I have been pleased to accept a full scholarship to compete in distance running next year at Vanderbilt University.

Without a doubt, my success has in a large part due to the scientific approach to training at Phase IV, in coordination with my high school coach.”

-Kristabel Doebel-Hickok, Student Athlete, Age 17

“I came to Phase IV looking for a training program that would improve my race performance while keeping me injury free. The program they created for me accomplished that with even greater results than I could've imagined. I was really surprised that in a relatively short period of time and number of workouts how much I improved. I think the key was they provided an efficient plan, based on proven scientific methods, which focused my efforts towards my specific goal.

Phase IV is a fabulous resource and invaluable to anyone trying to improve their athletic performance. Who wouldn't want to cross the finish line way before you ever thought you could? Thanks Phase IV!”

-Matthew Miller, Triathlete, Age 37

“I want to thank Phase IV for all your help in my pursuit of a Boston qualifying time at the St. George marathon this past weekend. I ran very conservatively and easily made it by 15 minutes. I did a 25-minute pr, which far exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how strong I felt. All those leg presses paid off!!
THANK YOU!”

-Cathy Leavy, Runner, Age 46

LIFE HEALTH SOLUTIONS

Their scientific process took all of my doubts away. I now have the understanding that my diet is right for me, that I'm exercise in a safe and healthy way that my program has taken my body, my science into account - this has made me so confident in myself and my ability to accomplish my lifestyle goals. The staff at Phase IV is incredible! They are so experienced and knowledgeable, so patient and attentive and they've been as excited for me to achieve good health as I am.

NUTRITION TESTIMONIALS

“Months before the Aids Lifecycle ride, in June this year, I had attended some of Phase IV’s workshops on hydration, nutrition and recovery. I put this information to use and what a difference! Each day when I finished (whether it was 75 or 115 miles) I felt strong--could have kept going on ANY day. I also didn't feel wiped out around camp in the evening. Two days after the ride I felt great. The combination of more serious workouts, combined with these workshops made ALL the difference.”

-Brian Neiman, Cyclist

“My total cholesterol went from 230 to 145. My LDL cholesterol went from 151 down to 88. My triglycerides they went from 178 down to 86, and my HDL cholesterol is at 46. I need to thank you for giving me all the good advice for the diet. I know that all these things really, really worked, and I’m just so thrilled about it and I just wanted to let you know and thank you for everything that you did for me”

-Tricia Bertalan, Mother, Age 48

“At the beginning, I decided I did not need the help of the nutritionist, in theory, I thought I knew what to eat, both to loose the extra pounds I had gained from lack of exercise and to get the best out of my training program.

After a few weeks, it was obvious to me that I needed help, and Phase IV was there for me! You took the time to develop a personalized nutrition plan and followed up with individual sessions to get my feedback and to help me keep on track with my program. Your Exercise Physiologist is very knowledgeable giving choices to satisfy my individual preferences. I was provided easy and great recipes, and information about what to look for in all kinds of food, even sport drinks.

I am a smarter and more efficient athlete since I decided to work with the Phase IV team.”
