Coach Jennifer’s individualized training plan enabled me to complete my first Ironman on September 24th, 2017, in 11 hours 44 minutes with virtually no prior triathlon experience. At 57 years of age, Jennifer’s coaching was instrumental in ensuring that I trained at a pace that prevented injury while maximizing my potential. Coach Jennifer put together a fantastic training plan that provided a solid building block approach, resulting in a great race finish! I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a Tri Coach. By the way, she kept it fun as well!

My experience working with Coach Arends at Hub Coaching was awesome! I have had coaches in the past, and none of them provide the in-depth analysis and attention to detail like Jennifer. All workouts had an intended purpose and were tailored specifically for me. No cookie-cutter workouts like you see with some coaches. Jennifer is also very diligent in communicating with those she coaches and does as many hands-on coaching sessions as she can. In terms of my Ironman, my swim time decreased by 45 minutes due to Coach Arends's coaching and guidance. My run times also decreased. Even as a 40-year-old seasoned triathlete, all my times improved. If I had followed the nutritional plan she laid out for me, there is no reason not to think I would have had a huge PR at Ironman Chattanooga. I highly recommend anyone from 5kers to Ironman athletes who are looking to improve their fitness or racing goals to hire Coach Arends. You will not be Disappointed!

I have had significant gains since starting with Jennifer. She has shaved 2:30 min off my mile running pace. In the sprint triathlon, Jennifer took me from the middle of my age group to podium standings for the season. With 70.3 distance triathlons, she shaved an hour off my time, dropping me below the 6-hour mark. What sets Jennifer apart from other coaches is that she celebrates these gains with her athletes. She is there on the challenging days, pushing me along in the rain and cold. She is there for the race days and podium celebrations. Not always in person, but always there in spirit. I could count on her to call or message me before and after a race. Ready to encourage and help set my mind for the race, as well as updates on how I felt after it was over. Helping other athletes is her passion..

Coach Jen adjusts my workouts when my hectic life requires it and keeps me motivated to push myself to work harder during runs. She is truly the only reason I have set personal records in the marathon and half marathon.

Thanks to Jen's planning (and patience) I met every goal I set for myself this cycling season.
