"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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!"

"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."

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."
