Marathon Coaching

Completing a marathon is such an exhilarating accomplishment! Whether you are a first-time marathoner or an advanced and experienced competitor, Energy Fitness Coaching has something for you. EFC coaches use the latest research and training techniques to increase your lactate threshold, Vo2 max, and strength, all while improving your biomechanics. Your goals are assessed, your limiting factors are addressed, and then a plan is created for you to lead you to success in the marathon. Our company is founded by professional athletes and coaches who have various certifications and fitness backgrounds with the common desire to achieve and accomplish goals.

Located in downtown Chicago we are very available to work with you in a personalized one on one session. We offer a variety of plans for local athletes as well as athletes located across the country and overseas!
