From Injury to Boston Qualifier
“I am so happy to be working with Joel. After experiencing overtraining, a running related injury, and declining race times, this year has seen improved race times, a BQ, and no injury. The focus on quality and communication has made a huge difference in my enjoyment of each training cycle (triathlon and marathon). I highly recommend anyone looking to become a stronger overall athlete and runner to give Joel a call!”

Injury to Performance to PR
“Joel is a skilled, professional, passionate, and dedicated coach. Since having his coaching expertise, I've qualified for Boston, PR’d in marathon and half marathon distances while truly enjoying my training and racing!! His training plans for me have been spot on and it's been awesome to have that piece all set for me... (less stress) I'm actually racing again which, after children and changes in health, I wasn't sure if it was possible. He has helped me stay consistent, balanced, and focused. My mindset is even different about races and I contribute this to Joel's calm, positive, and reassuring personality. He is just awesome! I'm so happy I decided to work with a coach and grateful Joel was recommended to me. It's been the best decision I've made to get me to my running goals.”

Personalized Approach to Coaching
"I have been working with Joel for 2 years now and have been extremely happy and grateful to have him as my trusted coach. He provides a personalized approach to coaching with training plans that accommodate my busy life, but always challenge me. He is incredibly responsive, caring and involved as a coach and teacher. As a Masters athlete who has battled ongoing injuries, the fact that I have successfully completed several long course triathlons and half marathons without being side-lined is a true testament to his knowledge, application of appropriate methods and training, and ability to provide expert guidance. The fact that I have also had PR’s (personal records) to include podium finishes while working with him is a clear indication that his approach to coaching, teaching and implementation work. I trust Joel so much that I have recommended him to friends, and feel very fortunate to have his guidance as I pursue my biggest athletic goals."

Advanced Empirical Approach
"As a kinesiologist I have found Dr. Sattgast to demonstrate sound knowledge of the mechanics, as well as the physiology of running. With Dr. Sattgast there are no magic tricks. There is simply science and human effort. I frequently benefit from his training philosophy"
