TESTIMONIALS

I went from a broken arm - and total ocean fear - to completing the Strawberry Fields Triathlon just four months later thanks to Lori’s amazing training! And Lori’s sensitive and supportive ocean-swim training enabled our viXen training group to to successfully complete the swim segment in perhaps the LA Tri’s worst ocean conditions ever!

 

Lori’s beach workout has to be LA’s best-kept workout secret – there are few better ways to build up your core strength than by greeting the sunrise while planking on the beach with viXen training!

 

No matter your athletic ability, Lori is able to provide the perfect balance of nurturing support, training expertise and athletic challenges to help any level of athlete achieve her training goals –and a great group of women to train with as well. She is, without doubt, the best coach I have ever worked with.

I'm addicted to my beach work outs with Lori! She's the best, always encouraging and lots of fun. And of course it's hard work, but I always come back for more!

I remember signing up for ViXen Training just to do the training and not to compete in the actual triathlon because I was too intimidated. Just eight weeks later I was running the triathlon and trying to win! Triathlon training with the ViXens not only boosts your physical ability but also your confidence level because of the focused setting working with other women and because of Lori's supportive manner in training her athletes. This is the optimal environment to discover a sport that you will LOVE.

Training with viXens has changed my life. I started out in January 2008 as a complete novice, out of shape, tired, and in pain from a shoulder surgery. Nine months later I can say "I am a triathlete!" I've trained for and completed three triathlons this year with viXens, and I even had a "podium finish" in my last one. Lori Christensen knows how to train women, not just physically, but mentally as well. She provides advice on when to push harder, when to slow down, and even when to take a break. Because of my viXen training, I've learned how to embrace my "inner athlete," and I've never felt better.

"When I think of Lori, I think of someone who is organized, motivating, supportive; able to manage multiple people with different levels of talent in a coaching situation, able to address individual needs via email or phone calls, able to focus on each personal level so as to give tasks apart from clinics..."

"I've known Lori for several years.  Her great energy and motivation brought my fitness up to a new level.   I wanted to work out in a small group setting as I was intimidated by getting in shape.  Lori made it simple and easy to achieve".

"To train for the first sprint triathlon in my life was an enriching and extraordinary experience both on a personal and athletic level. These weeks of training were stimulating, challenging, fun and personally rewarding. I did not think I was capable of doing a sprint triathlon but I did it with a smile from start to finish. Lori is a super coach who always knew how to encourage and motivate us. If you want to live that new wonderful life experience, just do it ! Perhaps its going to change your life like it has changed mine!"

"I never thought I would ever do a triathlon, I always thought it was not for me, but because of Lori I did it. She made the whole experience fun, exhilarating and challenging. I felt more than prepared for the triathlon date, and now I can’t wait to do another one and bring all my friends and family along with me to share in this wonderful experience. We had a great time biking, running and especially swimming with the dolphins. Lori has such positive energy which makes us want to do more than we think we can do. She is a great reference for any nutrition, physical and cardio questions. I am thankful to have met her. Lori, thank you for everything".

"I started triathlon training to get in shape although I really didn't believe it was something for me. I thought I would never be able to finish it... but after each practice with Lori I kept my smile for hours, and started to believe that I could do it. I'm so proud now to think that I finished my first triathlon with a big smile! So now that I know I can do a sprint tri with a smile I have signed up to do an Olympic distance next. Lori's goal is fulfilled - we did it and asked for more!!!"
