What Our Clients Have to Say…

Joining True Performance has been a great decision! David is a GREAT coach, with solid resources, including an excellent PT on staff! He is so knowledgeable about the science behind training; knows when to push me (when I don’t believe I can hit the targets) and when to hold me back (when I need rest and won’t allow myself); I am hitting fitness goals I haven’t seen in years! Amazing to find myself beating some times from over a decade ago!

I have been working with Michael for four years now, and since that time, I have improved in all aspects of my running, swimming, and biking. He has helped me through three marathons, numerous half marathons, and a couple of triathlons. I have improved my overall running speed, distance, and ability. He is also always willing to help with a new challenge, give me feedback or advice as needed, and listen to my training frustrations and hopes!

Caitlin
“I joined true performance for my senior indoor season and went from training alone to training with the top athletes of the state on top of that the mentality of the coaches and culture of the club pushes you in ways a normal club can’t. For example, my first workout there the coaches were making sure it was actually productive for me. They had me slightly alter it so I could still run with fast guys but also not overtrain.”

Aiden
Training with True Performance and Baylor was a game changer for me. It turned me from a good high school runner to an elite one. The opportunity to workout with others my level and the workouts that I did were very helpful to my development as a runner.

I met David Carpenter 11 years ago planning for and racing Race Across the West (RAW), we won that race three times and currently hold the course record; David started coaching me 8 years ago for triathlons, next year will be my 40th year competing as a triathlete at distances ranging from Ironman to Sprint. Although David is very impressive as an athlete he is more impressive as a knowledgable coach with both the academic training, personal experience, and continuing eduction on coaching, nutrition, swimming, biking, and running skills/technique. True Performance offers several training packages; I currently have David write and adjust my weekly program and do several 1 on 1's with him every week. True Performance does not use a cut and paste style of training program, they understand each athletes individuals strengths, weaknesses and goals, and train that specific athlete; True Performance knows that one size doesn't fit all. With David and True Performance's coaching I have qualified for and raced the Ironman World Championship in Kona, HI, and finish most of my races with a podium spot. I am grateful for what we have done together and know, without a doubt, David has kept me competitive in the sport of triathlon.

Paul D.
Coach David with True Performance Training was the best coach I could ask for as a growing high school and now collegiate athlete. He was a great tool and was always there if I had any questions about anything whatsoever. Through his training (running and lifting), I became a much stronger and more confident athlete. Additionally, he was always super supportive and just made the sport a whole lot of fun.

Cal
For past 5 years I have utilized True Performance for my training and coaching. As a masters cyclist, we need a different type of training / coaching as compared to an athlete who is much younger. This is where True Performance excels. The level of detailed training and conditioning programs has enabled me to have an edge over my competition within my age group, but also at times against athlete’s who maybe 50 years younger than me! I’m pleased to be competitive on a local, regional and national level. None of this would be possible without the guidance of David Carpenter and his staff at True Performance. They truly are a premier training service with a staff of the most knowledgeable in the industry.

Bernie C.
I began use of True Performance a couple of years ago — initially to assist in rehab after a running injury. I quickly realized the tremendous benefit of David and his team and have happily continued services for ongoing coaching. The personalized attention, data based approach and true care for the improvement of their athletes has made this a fantastic decision for me. My running fitness and speed has markedly improved through their guidance. As a senior runner, I only wish I would have engaged with them many years prior. Great people and a great process!!
