WHAT THE
CREW SAYS

Being an experienced massage therapist, Tiger has a great understanding of biomechanics as well as injury prevention and management. In the event of injury, he is always available for advice, reassurance and treatment. I will never forget the time he unexpectedly came to my workplace armed with a bucket and ice to help treat an inflamed Achilles of mine. He's that kind of guy and he really does care.

As an expat based in Singapore, my online Run Crew programmes provide me with a personalised approach to training as if I was still in Sydney. Training for marathons requires structure, flexibility, accountability and nuance that only a tailored programme with live chat can provide. For me, this approach ensures I am able to align my marathon running goals with other commitments within a broader context of overall wellbeing.

Through the use of personalised sessions, consistent training and regular communication the coach is able to provide you with a steady platform to revise, redefine and realise what you are capable of achieving. This brings the athlete to a confident mindset — the type of mindset that smiles at your previous doubts and breaks down that elusive wall. Run Crew will find you a path that's worth exploring.

Gary has adjusted my training program around injuries, work commitments, pregnancy and now family commitments. He's in regular contact so he knows how I'm handling the training load and he works closely with my physio on injury management and prevention. He seems to live and breathe running and do whatever it takes to get the best out of his squad.

Since I started training with Gary in 2011 I have learnt to love running — so much that I gave hockey away. Over the years Gary has helped me to set and achieve some pretty lofty running goals. I went from thinking I couldn't even run 20km, to representing NSW in the Australian Half Marathon Championships.

I started training with Tiger as a recreational runner in 2008 and have nothing but praise for his coaching skills. Whatever your level of running, Tiger takes on your goals — sets them even higher — and sees you through to the finish line. His training programs are customised to each individual factoring in work and family commitments as well as injury history and personal goals.
