Testimonials

Over the years I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of runners, triathletes and other endurance athletes. Below are just a few of the satisfied clients who've used my methods to improve their performance.

World Masters Games Medallist
Reidar (on far right) won a bronze medal in the Pentathlon at the 2005 World Masters in Edmonton, AB held in July 2005. Then in September 2005, he won a bronze in the decathlon at an international track meet in Spain. Against a strong field Reider put in personal bests in the 100m, 400m and discus and close to PB's in the other events. He won the 1500m race and placed second in the 100m and 400m races.

Running Pain Free...
"With the increase in my running regimen last year, I began to experience IT Band Syndrome. It got to the point where I could not even run for 15 minutes before the pain set in. Both my Massage Therapist and my Chiropractor (for active release therapy) were not able to relieve the pain. Thus, I contacted Curb and talked to him about the running pain that I was experiencing.

After an initial assessment, Curb set up an entire fitness program with my running and fitness goals in mind. He also introduced me to a foam roller technique (self myofascial release) which has proven to be my saving grace. For months now, I have been pain free and in better shape all around thanks to Curb and his great work!"

Functional training...
"Curb helped me develop a functional approach to training that benefits the sports I do. I like that he varies the program constantly and puts a lot of focus on core strength and stability."

Recovery after ACL surgery...
"Several years ago I tore my ACL and had an operation. After months of rehab I was able to work out again on a regular basis. Later, certain exercises were causing more knee injuries, inflammation and instability. After going through a couple of personal trainers that led only to frustration and further injury, my husband (a runner who had trained with him) recommended Curb. Curb, unlike other personal trainers I've had, takes the time to work out a plan that is specific to your personal needs, not an overall "one size fits all formula" that many of the 'brand' name fitness jocks shove at you.

He also has a deep understanding of the body and is very committed to education and knowledge. My knee has greatly improved in strength and agility, while not ignoring overall body strength and improvement. I am in much better shape, without any injuries! I am also aware of what exercises to do and which not to do. If you are lucky enough to find Curb before finding anyone else, you will most likely avoid wasted money, frustration and injury."

Every runner can benefit...
"Curb is a wealth of knowledge. His approach to running, training and relearning what I thought I knew about moving was well researched and made sense. He had a well thought out answer to any of our questions and if he wasn't sure, he would research and present his findings, always reflecting and applying his research and approach.

Clinic time was used extremely well, there was no 'fill' or dead time. I also liked his hand outs, emailed reminders, homework and links that were valuable in reviewing exercises and the science behind Curb's approach.

I recommended his clinic to numerous friends and feel everybody that runs regularly can benefit from this clinic. I have always been a slow poke but have recently been able to keep up with faster runners for a full 3 hour run!"

Reduced lower back pain...
"I haven't done group running training before, apart from marathon and Knee Knacker training run sessions but this is a great way for runners to improve their style and performance.

Working with Curb has had a big impact on reducing my lower back pain. Changing my running cadence and thinking about performance running will make a big difference to my results and overall health."
