Meet the Coach- Samantha Bonder
Samantha is a running coach and exercise physiologist with over 10 years experience in the fitness industry. She is working to improve her own running just like you, so she understands that it takes consistent hard work alongside smart training to achieve those running goals you’ve been dreaming of! Samantha holds a USA Track & Field Level 1 certification, RRCA certification and an ACSM certification for Clinical Exercise Physiology.
She started running in grad school as a way to keep up with everyone in her competitive Kinesiology program. Her story is similar to many other runners- starting her own running journey by just getting out there for a run with a friend, eventually working to a 5K and the rest is history.
Why work with a Coach?
Imagine yourself a year from now- still just as passionate and fired up about your running goals. One of the toughest things about running without a coach is that lack of support. There could be so many reasons you are thinking about hiring a professional coach to work with- but ultimately just thinking about it shows you are serious about making a change in your running and your life!
I take your goals as my own. I am passionate and enthusiastic at helping you get to where you want to be at that finish line! I am not just here to guide your training, but to motivate you and support you through the process too. There will always be days as runners where we question why we’re even doing this in the first place- but I’m here to remind you that you’re strong and capable! Having a coach who believes in your abilities makes all the difference.
I know first hand running can change your life and if you are willing to make this life-changing investment then I want to see you succeed. You CAN do tough things and when we work together I promise to be the one to constantly remind you of it!
