Testimonials

"Thank you for working with me the other day on my tri sports! Joe and I started out today at 4:00am , biked and did the same route that we normally do , that my average has been 15.4 and today (with using the techniques that you taught me) helped me to increase my pace to an average of 16.3!!!! Then we got off and ran 3.2 miles at an 8:03 minute pace!! Yeah! I really focused on leaning forward more and keeping my left arm straighter."

"Anyway, after the run , I swam about 700 yards (but didn’t time myself) but just focused on keeping my head on my arm more and rotating and staying long longer!
Thank you! I see improvement already!"

Blessings,

"My name is Nicole Westbrook and I am a member of the FCA Endurance OKC team. I began doing triathlons in 2007 and running marathons in 2008. I was hooked on triathlons right from the start. When I made the decision to race my first half iron distance in 2008, I knew I’d need quality guidance to help me prepare for the race. I started working with Ryan and have learned so much about training and racing smarter. Doing triathlons starts with knowing how to race in the safest, smartest, and most efficient way possible. He has shown this to me with and I love his training philosophy and style. I have successfully completed my first half iron distance race with results that far exceeded my expectations. I am looking forward to another successful season with Ryan and will be completing my first iron distance triathlon in September. With his guidance and encouragement, I know I will continue to improve and have another great season!"

His plans are tailored to me and my lifestyle. Ryan has in-depth knowledge of nutrition and training and he knows what it takes to prepare athletes to succeed in triathlon. He has provided me with structure and motivation"

"My name is Brent Clowers and I race for Team FCA Endurance-Oklahoma City. Since I have been involved with triathlon and endurance sports, I could only be referred to as a “finisher” of certain events. Now that I have teamed up with Conquer Training and Coach Ryan Ellis, I’m confident that I will be a “competitor”. After just a few months of training with Coach Ellis I am much more confident going into this years triathlon season. The combination of intense workouts with intelligent planning makes Coach Ellis’ programs extremely effective. I have been pushed farther and harder than I thought I could go. My run and bikes times have improved immensely and my swim is steadily getting stronger. I am very excited to be a part of Conquer Training and the results I’ve seen in my performance."

"As a former professional golfer and someone who has competed in 5 triathlons, I thought that I understood the correct way to maintain my fitness and nutrition to get the most out of my body. I decided late last year to begin training for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with Ryan to discuss my training plan. What I quickly realized was that Ryan’s knowledge completely dwarfed my own. He customized my weight training as well as developed my own personal nutritional plan to optimize my training. He has been extremely accessible and always willing to offer additional training tips throughout my training. As my marathon approaches, I could not feel more confident in my ability to run the race at my peak performance level. I am very grateful to Ryan for his insight and help, and I can’t wait to work with Ryan on my next project."

"My journey with Ryan started just before May 2010. I hired him to get me in “bikini shape” for the summer. We did one-on-one personal training, boot camp style, outdoors at a park. I learned quickly hiring Ryan was going to be a blessing and a curse! He is tough but along with that comes the most patience and encouragement I have ever encountered with a personal trainer. Later in the fall I decided I wanted to run the half marathon in the Oklahoma City Memorial. Not being an experienced runner, Ryan devised a plan to not only get me through the tough holiday temptations/off season, but also prepare me to start training the following February. The training plan for the half marathon was tough, but in the end it more than prepared me for the difficult race. His extensive knowledge in regards to nutrition was priceless to my performance. Putting my trust in him and following his plan and instructions absolutely lead me to completing the marathon…under my goal time! I am now about to embark on another half marathon training plan in the fall and thanks to Ryan I know I can continue my love for running and reach my future endurance goals!"
