Coach Parry Reviews 

Hi Brad and Team,

Thanks for giving your clients the opportunity to provide feedback.

I have thoroughly enjoyed using the coach Parry platform, it has really given me so much more than I imagined and I am so grateful for all the hard work you and the team put in.

The Youtube videos are great, all the info I need is always readily available and more. I have found this instrumental in explanations and practical guidelines (and has filled my nights doing exciting running research).

I have never been on a training programme so I have nothing to reference it too other than my years of general running, and I have loved my purchase, the app is super great too and its all so affordable.

With the natural progression I was thinking of upgrading my plan to gain more benefits such as access to the forums, a change in strength classes would be nice, access to coaches advise on when to alter my programme in certain scenarios (if I am feeling sick or travelling or have physiological changes, how to adapt etc). However the coaching plans are around R3/4g a month which is well beyond my budget. Do you offer anything between the training plan and full on coaching?

Otherwise I am really enjoying it, thank you all!

Cheers

David

I loved the live strength training session although can only do the Wednesday due to time difference.
Learning to run slowly.
The foot exercise is great and quite a revelation to me as this is my weak spot.

The advice and guidance on the weekly email was great. Unfortunately due to work commitment i couldn’t follow the program as I would have liked.

Great onboarding experience, tech integrates (mostly) with my Garmin watch, lots of helpful video content, helpful training calendar

The advice provided is current and tested. The results speak for themselves compared with peers who are still training differently than myself. I am seeing constant improvements even though I am getting older.

I get lots of info on running and lots of video material

Good Structure, Benefits well explained of every component of the training plan..... Good plan and actions to get to a goal....

Foot core excercises alone is worth it !

As an on-again-off-again runner who is going to be 60 this year, I felt I needed more than just a running plan. What I have found through the Coach Parry programme is a holistic approach, where simplicity, individuality, and safety are bound together to make running (and exercising) do-able, enjoyable, and achievable. I greatly appreciate the ease of using the complex, but easy platform, which offers so much guidance. I never thought that an online platform could offer such a supportive sense of community. The Coach Parry programme has changed my relationship with running.

I joined complimentary of Balwin when signing up for the Balwin marathon. Coach Parry has been really helpful in preparing me for the 10k. I am a Novice runner and the tips they have provided in the Balwin Sports Masterclasses has been super useful. I also appreciate that they provide running strengthening exercise and foot core stabilizer exercises. I just thought you ran lol. Coach Parry has really made me aware of all that is needed when training for a run.

There is far more substance to this course than I expected. It is a very well designed online learning experience. Each element of each training day is backed up and informed by videos that are created for that particular session - in my case either a run session or mobility/strength exercises. So today I was scheduled to do 45 minutes of strength training. As I read the "menu" of exercises I had to do, I was able to open a video clip demonstrating that particular exercise. The CoachParry website and the team in South Africa are a superb route to learning to train safely and well for whatever distance is your target.
I am old (77 in May) and I have not run for many years. I was never much good but I have missed the buzz of running. This CoachParry programme gives me a real hope that I shall run again!

The guidance is brilliant, a suggested program based on what you'd like to achieve is available, and explanation videos for everything is also there in case you are not sure how to do a specific task, whether it is one of the exercises or joining a web chat.

Absolutely love this App! It's easy to use, track everything I need, and keeps me motivated with personalized challenges. Perfect for all levels of running!!

Impressed with the onboarding process! Great interaction with the community and coaches. Just taking a bit longer to get revved up on my end!

Really helpful training programmes. Love the training videos as well.

I've loved used CoachParry.com.
I hadn't run for a very long time before I entered a 21km race.
Didn't know where or how to start again, Coachparry made it so easy to set up my training schedule and work out my paces. Really enjoying my training program!

I enjoy the structure of the workouts, and of the whole plan. As well as the fact I can move a workout if I miss one. The videos are very helpful. Before this I was just running around aimlessly.

I liked that after I signed up, I was encouraged to schedule an orientation call to make sure I understood how the website worked. I have also been impressed on how often the coaches reply to questions to help runners out with their specific issues.

Very helpful and clear guidance. The staff I have interacted with have been very accomodating and I feel like they truly want to help me with my goals.

Very detailed plan. Very professional.

I have been a beginner runner for a while, doing a couple of charity 5Ks each year. My son runs cross country in high school and I respect the effort and training he puts in. This past summer I decided to get serious about running thinking I would run the 1/2 marathon my son was signed up for in December. But I wasn't getting anywhere and was swimming in a sea of information that I didn't know what to do with. I had tried to craft my own plan but wasn't sure I was getting it right. Plus, being 54, I had a feeling some of the training I was doing was more than I should be doing for my age. I injured my calf and took a month off. While I was recovering I saw some of Coach Parry's vids on YouTube and liked what I heard then sat through his masterclass a few weeks ago and what he said clicked with me. Once I signed up I picked a goal (which honestly was the hardest part), I now have a full AGE APPROPRIATE training training plan, which syncs to my Garmin. I dropped my runs from six days a week down to four, and instead of running tempo runs almost every time, I'm following the pacing and schedule Coach Parry has developed in the plan. After three weeks, I've seen improvement, feel much stronger/athletic, and (the best part) have avoided injury. I love not having to think about what I need to do...I just execute the plan. The forums have been helpful too - the coaches are replying to posts and there's no random people chiding you about how stupid they think you might be.
