How Coaching Works
What Coaching With No Limits Looks Like
Here’s what working with us looks like, from your first call to race day.
A plan built for you
You can find a training plan online for cheap, or even free. What you can’t get is a training plan built for you, and only you, plus a coach who knows your life, reads and responds to your workout comments, and answers when you need help.
That’s what we’ve been doing since 2011, and it’s why we’ve grown to a team of 150 athletes and a staff of expert coaches.
Step by step
Getting Started
The right coach makes all the difference, so we start by making sure we find the right fit for you.
1. Free Consult
A phone or video call so you can ask questions and we learn about your goals, your history, and lifestyle.
2. Deep Dive
Once you decide to start with us, you’ll fill out a detailed intake covering your health, fitness, and lifestyle.
3. Data Review
Your coach reviews past training and race results (if applicable). We assure a seamless start.
4. Season Planning
Your coach builds your Annual Training Plan (ATP), developing your season around key races.
5. Welcome to the Team
You get access to our team resources and community, and we mail out your team welcome package.
Timeline
From first contact to your first week of training usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. More lead time is better, because it gives your coach room to really dig into your information before building your plan.
Matching
We pair each athlete with the coach whose experience fits them best, based on your goals, race distance, and schedule.

Communication
Your coach is there when you need them
Communication is the foundation of the athlete-coach relationship. For most athletes, it’s the main reason to hire a coach in the first place.
Have a question? Ask it. Need to vent after a brutal workout? We get it. Just HAMMERED a session? We want to celebrate with you.
You can reach your coach through:
- Unlimited TrainingPeaks workout comments
- Unlimited email
- Unlimited text messaging
- Phone or video calls (number depends on your Endurance or Peak package)
- Our private athlete forum, where coaches keep an eye on things and you can connect with other No Limits athletes
“My goal was to do Ironman Maryland in 2024 to celebrate my 40th birthday… I couldn’t have asked for better communication, structure when needed, and flexibility when needed. Taking the planning out of training was huge, and took me across the finish line.”

Weekly Training
A clear plan, every week
Once your goals are set, your coach builds your training in one- to two-week blocks. Every workout is posted in TrainingPeaks with what you need to execute it: targets, intervals, and the purpose of the session. If something isn’t clear, ask your coach. That’s what we’re here for.
Life happens. A sick kid, a work trip, a week that falls apart. Endurance Level athletes get revisions when something unexpected comes up, and Peak Level athletes get unlimited revisions. Even after your week is built, reach out to your coach and they’ll adjust it.
Feedback & Analysis
Training that keeps up with your progress
Your coach reviews your workouts and gives you feedback based on your data and the comments you leave on each session. We look at individual workouts and longer-term trends, using TrainingPeaks, WKO, and Excel, so your training keeps up with your progress.
Your plan is built around YOU: your background, how you’re progressing, your race goals, and the time you have outside of work and family. If you also train with a group, talk with your coach about those sessions so they fit into your plan.
“No Limits is where big goals become reality. I’ve been coached for nearly two years and have seen continuous, incredible improvements in my fitness. Triathlon is my current addiction, and it’s been exciting to grow more competitive within my age group. No Limits emphasizes both physical and mental resilience, supported by ongoing learning and guidance. And more than anything, No Limits keeps training fun. Whether you’re training for your first 5K, Olympic triathlon, or an Ironman, this is the place to be!! :)”
