What coaches and athletes say about Final Surge

"Final Surge has been essential for helping me to help my runners and grow my business. The app is purpose-built for runners and running coaches so it has all the bells and whistles we need and want and is extremely user-friendly. From young athletes, who are used to technology, to older athletes who are new to online training, Final Surge makes it easy for both coach and runner to work together as they chase their goals."
Greg McMillan
Head Coach & Founder @ McMillan Running
"As the owner of Team MPI, an Endurance Sports Coaching Company with Coaches all across the United States coaching athletes all over the world, I needed an online platform that is reliable, flexible, intuitive and affordable. Final Surge met all those criteria and more. There is no better platform for athletes and Coaches that provides ease of use, accurate and expansive recording metrix and versatiity than Final Surge. On top of all this, the Final Surge Staff is adaptive and flexible to users needs and requests which makes working with them a joy!"
Mark Sortino
2016 Team USA Paralympic Head Coach, CEO & Head Coach @Team MPI
"Using Final Surge as our coaching platform has been a great decision! It is perfect for all of our athletes - those motivated by being able to see data and metrics, as well as those who are less interested in the data side of training. Some training platforms skew towards either the coaching side or the athlete side - Final Surge has managed to create a platform for both! From writing plans to logging workouts, sharing libraries between coaches, and getting video instruction to our athletes, Final Surge has been exactly what we need. As an athlete and a coach using Final Surge, I am very happy with this platform!"
Alyssa Godesky
Professional Triathlete, Ultrarunner and Endurance Coach @ Biscay Coaching
"Final Surge is a game changer for coaching. It allows me to stay organized, while at the same time having access to a treasure trove of data on every athlete I work with. Before Final Surge I'd waste an inordinate amount of time on tracking, recording, and writing out training. Now, thanks to Final Surge, I spend that time doing what matters; actually coaching."
Steve Magness
Author, Coach and Co-host of the On Coaching Podcast
"I have been using Final Surge for several years now and I have found it to be the most user friendly and efficient app. It has allowed us to coach athletes all over the world online. It encourages creativity with workouts as well as being data driven enough to be able to analyze progress with accuracy. It also, and most importantly makes communication with athletes effortless."
Meg Mackenzie
Professional Trial & Ultra Runner, Master 3 Life Coach, Head Coach @ Meg Mackenzie Coaching
"I've been using Final Surge for over 5 years to run the coaching side of my business—as well as plan my own training—and I really can’t say how much of a game-changer it's been for me and my athletes. The coaching tools have made planning and delivering training easy and seamless—communication is completely streamlined into one easy-to-navigate portal and it's made my workflow far more efficient and effective. Final Surge syncs easily with Garmin, Strava and various other tracking platforms to import all the data you’d ever need to analyze. The mobile app is incredible and makes on-the-go check-ins and communication easy and seamless. I couldn't do what I do without Final Surge and can't recommend it enough to other coaches regardless of the level of athlete they work with."

Author, Coach and Founder of The Morning Shakeout
"Final Surge has been instrumental in helping New York Road Runners train and connect with our global running community for our virtual races, including the Virtual TCS New York City Marathon Powered by Strava. The Final Surge platform provides a seamless training and coaching experience for the NYRR Coaching Lab team."
Roberto Mandje
Senior Manager, Training & Education @ New York Road Runners
"I’ve been using Final Surge for 12 months for my cycling and triathlon coaching business. The ease of laying out training and having athletes data sync directly into Final Surge makes it great for quickly reviewing how and athlete has done, and has improved my workflow. The process of creating training is easy and straightforward and this means I can spend more time coaching rather than fiddling with Excel sheets. Creating new training sessions is a simple process, and the user interface is clean and easy to use."
Ric Stern
Performance Director and Senior Coach (UK) @ Cycle Coach
"We have been using Final Surge for some time now and it's easy for us to tell you why!!

It makes our live's less stressful, It saves us time and we are all short of that. It's intuitive, It's easy for both coach and athlete to figure out. You can sync your gadgets with ease!!

It's colourful and individual (meaning you can program in athlete's FTP's, Zones etc and set colours to sessions). It's as easy as "drag and drop" once you have a library!!

Final Surge is a key part of our business, not only is it a fantastic platform for coaching and tracking athlete development but should we have any issues the team at Final Surge will email or call to talk us through it. There has always been a human touch to it and it's been extremely easy to communicate with the team.

We may sound like an advertisement for Final Surge, but all of the above it true. it's been a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to many more years of partnership

Thanks for being RAD Final Surge.

"Final surge is the digital lifeline between our Coaches and Athletes. The administrative structure behind the scenes is intuitive and allows us to personalize each athlete’s experience. We use the mobile application to stay on top of workout comments and notifications on the fly. And the online support is top-notch, which allows us to focus our time and energy on making our customers faster."

"Final Surge has revolutionized my coaching business. Since I started using the training platform in 2016, I have been able to triple my client numbers. It’s amazing to still be able to provide entirely customized plans thanks to the ease of communication, organization, and efficiency of the Final Surge."

Professional Runner & Coach @ Get Running Coaching
"I've used Final Surge (FS) the last few years and found it to be an exceptionally efficient platform for communicating with my athletes. One unique feature of FS is a mechanism for creating a memory bank of structured workouts. An essential feature of FS is the post-workout notes section. After my athletes complete their assigned workouts, they input information to the FS calendar notes. Immediately after they post the notes, I receive an automated notification prompting me to read their comments to which I respond with feedback. The ability to sync Garmin and Stryd Power data with the FS calendar is another valuable FS feature. Access to my training paces calculator and race equivalent times is a feature my athletes enjoy very much! Portability of the FS calendar (on one's smartphone) is very useful because runners can review workout details just prior to running. In summary, the merits of using FS are extensive. Final Surge has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of coaching, and I highly recommend it for you, too. Whether you are a coach or athlete, the use of Final Surge will enhance the quality of your experience with running."
Coach Tom "Tinman" Schwartz
Head Coach @ Tinman Elite
"Over the past four years, Final Surge has streamlined my coaching. From coaching my On Athletics Club team, to masters and junior runners looking to improve, the organization and simplicity of the platform has made it possible for me to give my athletes the best. I started using it myself as an athlete years ago and now as a coach its a tool I could not go without."
Dathan Ritzenhein
3 x Olympian & Former American Record Holder. Head Coach @ On Athletics Club
"As professional coaches, planning training and communicating with our athletes are extremely important components of being successful. We have found that Final Surge is one of the best tools available and we use it multiple times on a daily basis. The planning component allows us to plan our training macrocycles well in advance, but also make the necessary adjustments as needed (which is often). And the immediate feedback (received on our mobile phones) after each athlete’s training session allows us to keep current.

We have used a few online applications over the years, but Final Surge is the easiest to use and produces best results. We would recommend that any coach obtain and utilize Final Surge if they want the best non-verbal communication with their athletes.

Mike Caldwell
Head Coach @ ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE
"We are proud to say we were early adopters of the Final Surge platform and have seen it do nothing but continue to grow and develop since the day we joined. As a coach, my life is profoundly easier being able to write and provide training via Final Surge, and the communication with my athletes is second to none. Perhaps my favorite aspect of Final Surge, as a company, is the commitment they have to listening to their customers and making changes that coaches and athletes are asking for. Yes, Final Surge is a tech company, but it's as personal a tech company as I've ever come across."
Ben Rosario
Head Coach @ HOKA ONE ONE NAZ Elite
"Tim, Brian, and Final Surge have been an invaluable asset to myself and my coaches. Tim has helped me with the unique communication and training plan delivery that my athletes need. Without Final Surge, my coaching business wouldn't be as successful as it is now. I personally view Tim and his crew as friends and colleagues after all these years. They have never strived to be the biggest but focused on quality, efficiency, and performance for athletes and coaches."

"I signed onto Final Surge in 2016 and it was the best decision I made as a running coach. Final Surge is user-friendly, with a streamlined work area and the ability to clearly organize athletes and logs. Because of how organized and streamlined my workflow is thanks to Final Surge, I was able to grow my business exponentially over the past few years and coach more athletes than I previously thought possible. I recommend Final Surge to my coaching friends, and their experience is the same: the ability to work smarter, not harder. As a bonus, my athletes love how clearly Final Surge allows coach-athlete communication!"

"Final Surge has enhanced our athlete-coach communications by making it easy for athletes to send their data to their coaches immediately upon completion of a workout. Their mobile app also enables our athletes to shoot us their post-workout comments in real time so we can really have our finger on the pulse of each athlete day to day. Also, the customer service at Final Surge is absolutely top-notch and has been so incredibly helpful in educating our coaches on the tech side of things--we are so grateful for their help and attentiveness!"
Hillary Biscay
IRONMAN Champion, Ultraman World Champion. Head Coach @ Biscay Coaching
"As a full-time online running coach I researched multiple platforms and Final Surge was the clear winner. I honestly could not operate my coaching business without Final Surge. It's jammed-pack with every feature I need without being overly complex. Having used both Training Peaks and Final Surge - Final Surge is easier to use, both as a coach and athlete. But more importantly I spend much less time building plans with Final Surge which means more time can be focused on my clients and business. My clients love it too. The app is super easy to use. They have quick and easy access to all their workouts, instructional videos, direct messaging to their coach, a social community and more. Bottom line - if you're serious about your coaching business, and want to present a professional persona, Final Surge is a must - no, ifs, ands or buts."

Creating workouts and adjusting our customer's training plans is incredibly simple and has made it really easy to give a personal coaching experience while still operating at scale. The customer service team at Final Surge is extremely prompt when our customers have technical issues, which has helped our customer retention rate significantly. We owe so much of Miler Method's success to the services provided by Final Surge."
