Testimonials

Before working with Kristine at Go Run Stronger, I couldn’t even run a mile without sharp pain from shin splints. Running has always been a big part of my life, so being sidelined by that pain was incredibly frustrating.

Kristine changed everything for me. She didn’t just help me recover; she designed a training plan that strengthened my legs, restored my confidence, and included workouts that I genuinely enjoyed. Kristine listened to my story and tailored the program to fit my specific needs, regularly checking in to see how I was feeling with the new workouts.

Now, I feel stronger than ever and am ready to take on the 2024 Chicago Marathon this October!

Huge thanks to coach Eve and Pete for guiding me through a balanced marathon training plan. Due to them, I was able to PR my marathon time from 4:18 to 3:57 for the SF marathon. In 2023, I struggled with a training plan and got injured 5 weeks out from the race. The climbs felt impossible, and I had to walk some portions. I hit my wall hard on mile 20 and limped to the finish. Fast forward to 2024, I had a minor injury that Pete was able to help diagnose and advise me on, and I arrived at the start line healthy. The climbs felt easy, and I zoomed up the hills. I finished strong with a negative split and achieved all my goals. This wouldn't be possible without Eve's constant encouragement and Pete's mentorship. The two of them were constantly answering my questions and hopping on calls to discuss the "why's" behind running and strength training. They were understanding when I had busy weeks and encouraging when I had the long 18/19/20 mile long runs. I would highly recommend coaching with Eve and Pete for anyone with a busy schedule who wants a fun and supporting coaching team.

I got connected with Gaby for physical therapy after 2.5 years of foot pain and limited function from overuse injuries. As someone who loves the outdoors and a physical challenge, my injury became a major problem that prevented me from taking on new challenges like my first half ironman.

Over the course of six months, Gaby helped me go from not being able to walk without some discomfort to running 2-3 miles without any pain. In fact, this past June, I was able to complete a week-long 75-mile hike through the Sonoran Desert, which helped bring awareness to the humanitarian crisis at our southern border. 

Whether you are looking for a run coach or a physical therapist, Gaby is your person. Besides her knowledge and attention to detail, she really does take the time to listen to your story and work with you on an individual basis. Also, if you're like me and want variety in your training routine, she does a wonderful job of mixing up your workouts to keep things fun and engaging

I started working with Alex at GRS to get through my persistent shin issues and run longer distances injury free. Just after a month, I've been able to overcome some shin issues and have gotten stronger using Alex's training plans and Gaby's shin exercises on the GRS Instagram. I've gained the confidence to work through injuries with Alex's guidance and look forward to continue working together toward my long-standing goal of a half marathon!

As a high school runner, my team doesn’t do strength training or plyometric work on a regular basis. I decided to start working with Gaby when I was dealing with a few microinjuries after the cross country season, and I’ve been completely healthy since! She’s been extremely thorough about identifying and addressing my form imbalances. In our time working together, she has helped me create a personalized strength plan that complements my training and racing schedule. Aside from preventing injuries, Gaby’s exercises have also helped me improve my speed in shorter events. This past track season, I dropped 10 seconds off my mile and 4 seconds off my 800! Highly recommend her program to anyone looking to get faster anrd build durability.

Gaby has been a great coach. I first discovered her on Instagram about a year ago while I was in physical therapy school and getting into running. As a physical therapist student, I was always searching for the best exercises for runners and athletes on social media, and Gaby kept showing up on my feed, which made me realize how knowledgeable and respected she is in the online rehab community. As my passion for running continued to grow, I knew I needed Gaby as my coach.

After recovering from a knee injury following my first full marathon, I wasn't sure if I could run a half marathon in under 2 hours. But with patience and the support of everyone at Go Run Stronger, I overcame that injury. With just a couple of months of training, I was able to run again and achieve my goal. Now I know that I can accomplish a lot, and I'm excited for the future with the GRS team.

My goal is to keep improving my running abilities and learn from Gaby, who is both a great coach and a therapist whom I aspire to be like one day.

Eve has been such an amazing running coach. I started running competitively as a child but fell out of running shape when I was a young adult. For years, I’ve been dabbling in racing again but was missing my goal times. Due to my busy work/schedule, I needed a coach to structure my training program and keep me motivated; this is exactly what Eve did and more!! Eve is such an inspiring, supportive, and challenging coach! She knows exactly how to guide you so that you meet your goals, for me, that was qualifying for the Boston marathon despite it being my first full marathon ever. Eve’s constant encouragement and daily communication helped me achieve my goal! I’m still in shock that I was able to do it and it would not have been possible without Eve! She is so talented and I am excited to keep working with her to tackle new goals!

About 2 years ago I ran my first marathon and was hooked on the running culture and community! But I also love powerlifting and had absolutely no idea how to structure a running plan to get faster while still lifting heavily & frequently. Enter coaches Eve and Pete! Since I started working with them in February, I have blown past all of my goals. Pete has helped my strength get as high (if not higher) than it’s ever been, and the way Eve has structured my running training has exponentially improved my speed over short and long distances! I can’t wait to continue working with the GRS team and see the hard work pay off as the summer approaches.

I’ve been working virtually with Dr. Gaby since the New Year for virtual physical therapy to rehab a stubborn running injury that wouldn’t go away. I was working on the cruise ship and it was starting to interfere with my flexibility and strength as a dancer alongside my running goals. Gaby was so accommodating to find a way to meet virtually with me and get me feeling so much stronger. Once I got home, I switched over to run/strength coaching to work on my running goals for this year. I work with Gaby for run coaching and Sweezey for strength coaching and I couldn’t be happier. 

I know I am already so much stronger. It has also positively impacted my dancing as well because of all the single leg exercises. This team has gotten me running pain free again, listens to every detail, empowers me, and really helps me with having a plan. I can’t speak highly enough about this team. I am so glad I get to work virtually with them.
