 Chad Warrencsbwarren@gmail.com -I am a Boston native who moved to Madison in 2004 (prior to the Red Sox winning 2 World Series Titles), a Master’s certified teacher (bilingual in Spanish) and high school track 1995-2004 (2 time Coach of the Year). Over the past 5 years I have decided to meld my worlds of fitness and education and become a personal trainer (A.F.A.A. certified) and I am working on my certification as a Wellness Coach also through A.C.S.M. I feel it was a natural transition to personal training for me as I am still teaching skills, just a different kind to a different audience. I am skilled at assisting my clients in achieving success because I listen. I listen to what they say as well as what they don’t say and make sure that the workout I prescribe fits their needs. I meet them at their access point and take them to their goals by providing constructive feedback and support while pushing their thresholds. My area of expertise would be functional training (movements you use daily). I use a variety of implements like med balls ,bands, physioballs and body weight. When I am not training with clients I enjoy time with my wife Sara and my son Burke. We collectively enjoy mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding. I also practice what I preach to my clients by being consistent with my exercise and making healthful food choices. I am currently training for British Columbia Mountain Bike Race which is a 7 day stage race June 30-July 7, 2012 |

A strong core is especially crucial for cyclists to keep a connection between arms and legs and increase all around endurance.

The Madison based team will foster an environment where the camaraderie and spirit of a team can be enjoyed and used for motivation.

Blake’s multisport team will be training at Speed Cycling’s facility. Besides others, Blake believes in indoor power-based training. "Effort is consistent throughout the athlete’s workout. When the indoor trainer is set to any given intensity, the trainer holds you to it and doesn't allow you to back off. You can constantly monitor your power which unless you have an expensive on-the-bike power meter you cannot do outside." |
