StrengthForEndurance  Reviews 

Kriss is a knowledgeable coach with lots of experience and his science backed education resonates through his communication.
I think the difference on why my time with strength for endurance was such a success, was that Kriss is a great listener and gave me feedback & instruction that was very relatable to me after hearing my comments and watching my form.

I worked with Kriss for a couple of months having never been coached prior to help work through an injury that had been negatively impacting my ability to run and do big adventures on bike and foot.
He was very knowledgeable and approachable and I really enjoyed our conversations. Kriss guided me through strength training and consistency. I am starting to see improvements in my stability following the injury and it was good to have Kriss on hand to talk through flair ups / issues. He also discussed things like nutrition in depth with me which was something I hadn’t considered impacting my injury recovery.

I worked with Kriss at Strength For Endurance for over a year while training for my first Ironman, and I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. He was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. His training plans were thoughtful, structured, and tailored to where I was as an athlete, while still pushing me to improve. With his guidance, I was able to crush my goals and show up to race day feeling confident and prepared. I highly recommend Strength For Endurance to anyone looking for informed, supportive, and effective endurance coaching.

Ive been working with Strength for Endurance since 2024. I had multiple ligament injuries to my knee and ACL reconstruction surgery, the Strength for Endurance team played a vital role in helping me rebuild both my strength and confidence in running. Their structured approach provided clear direction throughout my recovery, and their regular check-ins ensured I stayed on track. The training app was also user-friendly and made it easy to follow my programme in the gym.
The consistency and accountability they instilled were key in enabling me to successfully complete the Chicago Marathon, Hyrox, and a triathlon.
Working with Kriss and the team was an excellent experience. I never felt like just another client; they took a genuinely personalised approach, ensuring I remained injury-free while offering valuable guidance to support both my physical and mental well-being.
I would highly recommend Strength for Endurance to anyone looking for expert, supportive coaching—particularly those returning from injury and aiming to rebuild confidence and performance.

Thanks SFE

I’ve been working with Strength for Endurance since January 2025, after developing plantar fasciitis, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.

Kriss has been a constant source of inspiration. He takes the time to truly understand your situation and builds an individualized plan that helps you work through injury while steadily progressing back to running—and beyond. The focus on strength training as the foundation for recovery has been a game changer for me.

When I overdid things (despite SFE’s clear guidance!) and reinjured myself, I worked with Jonny, their physical therapist, who helped me get back on track safely. Even during that low point—when I was honestly close to giving up altogether—the team kept me motivated and moving forward.

I also had the chance to work with Lindsey, their nutritionist, who helped me better align my diet with my training. Thanks to her guidance, not only did I improve my own nutrition, but my whole family ended up eating healthier too.

Kriss and his team are exceptional at what they do. Their support, knowledge, and genuine care make all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve helped me achieve. I am now back to regular runs - not as far or as fast as I‘d like yet, but getting stronger every week. Thanks so much SFE!!

From beginning to end (pause!) my experience with SFE has been a fantastic one. Kriss and the team worked with me to map out a run and strength plan that wasn't just suited specifically to my events but also purpose built for flexibility around my busy life. This helped me stay consistent in a way and over a period of time, I had never been able to achieve before. At the risk of sounding very 'Arnie' I'll be back 😊 Thanks team!

After sustaining a long term injury I was keen to get back into running and building a stronger and more resilient body. Working with Kriss has enabled a S & C plan to be put in place building from the foundation up, aligned with my injury needs and sporting goals. All I need to do is trust the process and do the work. I’m now back running and cycling and getting stronger with each phase. I definitely recommend working with Kriss and his team if you want to see results and take the guess work out.

When I joined Kriss and the team at Strength for Endurance about two years ago, I knew it was the right place for me. I fully support their belief that strength training is essential for endurance athletes.

I’ve just completed a major bike-focused training block, supported by a demanding strength and conditioning programme and some running. The results have been excellent — I feel stronger on the bike, more confident with weights, and, most importantly, I’ve stayed injury-free. After several years of consistent training, continued progress isn’t easy, so this has been especially rewarding.

I highly recommend the team at Strength for Endurance if you’re looking to build strong, sustainable performance.

I have been using Kriss since November to help me improve my triathlon training and performance.
His structured and sports specific approach has made a huge difference to my power and stability and I am seeing the benefits in all 3 disciplines
I could not have motivated myself to do this on my own and I know even enjoy going to the gym!

I signed up with SFE because I was training for my first marathon and I wanted someone to oversee me as I started running more and make sure I was doing it safely. Within a week my left hip started flaring up (from previous overtraining), and in that moment alone SFE earned their fees in my eyes. Johnny was brought in immediately to help figure out what was going on, we created a plan, it went away. A month later I beat my half marathon goal by 6 minutes. Had it not been for SFE, that little issue very likely would have kept me off the start line at the Chicago Marathon in the fall. For S&C focused training, there truly is no one better in my mind.

Kriss and the rest of his team are fantastic! My confidence has grown massively since beginning with them and all the skills I’ve learned have definitely made me a better athlete! I definitely couldn’t recommend them more !

I have worked with SFE and Kriss for over 3 years now, and through their help, guidance and support have hugely progressed with my running. Starting with them before my 1st 100 miler to recently completing the dragons back.

I can't recommend Kriss and the Teams approach enough.

I have worked with Kriss & team for approx 2 years. The individualised approach helped me get back to regular training after a long time of stop start training, following knee surgery. There was always someone on hand to guide me through the ups and downs of returning to running 10k + distances and achieve my first ultra marathon events (45k &50k ) in the mountains- the stuff of dreams and unthinkable if I'd have listened to my consultant once upon a time. The education and accountability helps no end in gaining a thorough understanding of training for your body/ lifestyle goals. Would 100% recommend 😊

The team at SFE got me through my first marathon, and with it being my first major endurance challenge they did a great job helping me navigate the hurdles along the way. The especially came into their own when I moved house when I was supposed to be hitting my peak weeks and their help navigating the training load was so important. The team also did a great job giving me great encouragement on the way and I felt like the team were genuinely invested in my success.

Not only did they do a great job with getting me ready for my marathon but coming from a strength/ gym background they did a great job integrating strength work into the plan and making it a true hybrid plan. Over my time with SFE I hit a 2x bodyweight deadlift and a 1.8x bodyweight squat which when training for a marathon really impressed me as I thought I would be sacrificing my strength to a certain extent, and I have come out of the marathon training/ recovery much stronger than I went in.

My opinion is that SFE genuinely cared about my success and longevity, putting a premium on consistency and a real understanding of what else was going on in my life to make my training fit around me. The teams knowledge and ability to deliver that knowledge on a regular basis in everyday language was fantastic. I’ve not only got fast, fitter, stronger and more consistent with my training I also have a much better understanding of training methods that I will be using for the rest of my life.

Couldn’t recommend the team enough.

I enjoy the program very much. It is very helpful for me. The support from team is outstanding and the workouts are very detailed and very well explained by the team.

Would highly recommend Kriss and the team at SFE to anyone wanting strength and condition for an imminent race, but also to those who wish to build the foundations for lifelong engagement in activities.

Kriss's philosophy uncomplicates the process but can help you at whatever level you wish to compete, whether at a high performance or a weekend warrior.

I really enjoyed learning and working with the team at SFE and look forward to carrying on those lessons.

A top company. Can’t recommend them enough.

Brilliant course structure and layout of material! Very well thought through and delivers on everything it sets out to!
The team at Strength For Endurance have created something that is instantly applicable to anyone in the endurance community be it athlete or coach.

A complete waste of money. Very poor value for money. Poor communication. Weak feedback. Very little personalisation to plan. Unable to tailor to suit injuries, just told to stop training. Unable to support with nutrition beyond generic advice easily available online. I would not recommend.

Since working with Kriss i have learnt so much about how to train properly, how to listen to my body and when to pull back. During working with Kriss i was able to ask questions whenever i needed and there were always masterclasses and group discussions on the things i was struggling with. Being a runner i was worried my S&C was going to fatigue me for running but Kriss built the plan to work with me and i have only gained strength and resilience from it. I’m stronger than ever and feel confident in myself when i’m running and that my body is a lot more bull-proof and can handle the load. I wouldn’t recommend any other strength coach.
