TESTIMONIAL
My Triathlon dream started on my own in 2017 after I had a stroke. My doctors told me that my only way to keep healthy and stay alive is to start training. I was intrigued by a multi discipline sport and started training on my own in 2017. Due to many complications and health issues over the many years, my body just did no agree with the amount of training needed to compete at that level.
I was introduced to Nicolene (Biokinetics) where she started working on me to increase my performance in the 3 discipline sport.
Through her very in depth understanding and knowledge she managed to get me fitter, more supple and most importantly injury free.
My swimming time per 100m before joining Nicolene was 2m30 per 100m, a month before full ironman I was averaging 1m45 per 100m. My cycling improved from 3h38 for 91km to 3h17 and my running improved from 6m20 per km to 5m21 per km. This was all made possible by an incredibly dedicated and committed Bio.
My goal from the start was to finish a half ironman in a sub 6 hour time which I successfully completed. I wanted to complete full ironman in 14 hours and I successfully completed it in 12h50.
With Nicolene you are not a number or just another patient, you become a family member which makes your training so much easier.
I would recommend Nicolene to any person seeking a Bio that takes personal interest in what you do. She is always there no matter what, committed dedicated and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Nicolene, thank you for being such an amazing Bio….you not only kept me injury free but made me listen to my body at all times.
