TESTIMONIALS

Justin - Endurance athlete

"Caine has been my coach for nearly 15 years. He has coached me for a variety of endurance sports including 15 x 70.3 races, 3 x 140.6 races, 2 ultra marathons, 5 swimrun events, and cyclocross races. His coaching helped to qualify for the Ironman World 70.3 Championship.

Caine‘s coaching style is different than many other coaches as he stresses building a strong physical foundation, learning the proper mechanics and technique for each sport, and incorporates recovery and overall general health into his athlete plans. He is a fountain of information when it comes to biomechanics and nutrition with a focus on making the body strong, durable, and adaptable, especially as athletes age and mature. Caine incorporates leading research into his training plans and has an encyclopedic knowledge of triathlon, swim mechanics, performance strategy, and everything related to cycling. "

JH - Runner

"I was 57 years old, overweight and inactive. My daughter connected me with Caine. I told him that my goal was simply to lose some weight and get active. Within 18 months I lost 50 lbs and ran my first half marathon. That was 13 years and at least 20 half marathons and several 10 km runs ago. I am now 71 and still working with Caine and running half marathons. Caine’s approach is to support, guide and encourage; he never judges. You set your goals and he will help you achieve them. I can’t imagine where I would be now without Caine’s support."

Robynn - Runner and mom of 3, winner of WPS half marathon (2019)

"Caine and Ashley helped me become a stronger runner and taught me how important nutrition was to my marathon training. They focused on what was important to me and made a training and nutrition plan that worked for my lifestyle"

Peter - Triathlete

"I have had the privilege of working with Caine Gilholm for the past six months following a disc herniation, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His thoughtful, patient-centered approach to rehabilitation has been instrumental in my recovery.

Caine’s ability to design well-structured, original exercises tailored to my specific needs has made all the difference. His deep understanding of biomechanics and injury rehabilitation allowed me to progress safely and effectively. What truly sets him apart is his open communication. He listens carefully, explains every step clearly, and adjusts plans based on feedback.

Thanks to Caine’s expertise, I’ve had no flare-ups in six months, and I’ve regained full function in my daily life and athletic pursuits. I’m now able to run, bike, and swim with minimal discomfort, something I wasn’t sure would be possible after my injury. His guidance has given me the confidence to register for a full Ironman triathlon next year, a goal I once thought was out of reach.

If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and results-driven coach, Caine Gilholm is the best choice. He doesn’t just treat injuries he helps people reclaim their active lives."

Brian - cyclist, cross-country skier and owner of Olympia Cycle and Ski St. Mary's

"I have been working with Caine for approximately 14 years as I am a cyclist and cross country skier. We base the sessions around this as well as general fitness and strength training. Our sessions have changed over the years as what I need changes with age and fitness level. Caine develops a program to meet my needs and is constantly recording and assessing a plan for me to meet these goals. He is constantly reading and researching new methods and equipment to help develop specific training methods. He is able to tell if I am stressed, injured or in need of some specific training that will help in my goals. I have been able to see measurable gains in my training. All of this done in a friendly, professional atmosphere. I highly recommend Caine as a coach for anyone looking for a non-judgmental, professional that will listen to what you want, assess your abilities and design a strategy that will work for you if you put the time and effort in also."

I appreciate Caine's encouraging style and knowledge of physiology. Workouts are functionally tailored to specific needs... keeping in mind injuries, type of job, etc. I have seen progress with consistent training!
