Here are 4 additional resources to getting started in making the most of your 4 STAR CLUB membership perks!

✶ 1st STAR = PLAN!

Schedule your free ANNUAL TRAINING PLAN (ATP) consultation ($125 value) where we will get you set up in an advanced training plan tool like TriDot or TrainingPeaks with TRAINING ZONES, an ANNUAL TRAINING PLAN (ATP), and a full training plan for your season ahead!  To schedule your consult with head coach CHRIS NAVIN, visit http://calendly.com/metabolicathlete/consult and use the links below to connect and share any data from tools you might use, including:

 

✶  2nd STAR =  TEST!

Complete some baseline fitness assessments as a great way to get started!  We always recommend starting with a VO2 Max Test or Metabolic360 to learn about your metabolism - including your Fat vs. Carb Metabolic Efficiency (ME), tailoring your heart rate training zones to your metabolism, and to benchmark your overall fitness.  Each test with COACH CHRIS includes a full consultation on how to use your data in a meaningful and practical way, and we'll even directly load your metabolic profile and heart rate zones into devices like your GARMIN, MYZONE, or TRAININGPEAKS accounts!  And as a member of the 4 STAR CLUB you get to enjoy 20% off metabolic testing at www.MetabolicAthlete.com but as an added perk to make this a true "no brainer", if you complete a Metabolic360 for your first time, we'll even throw in a MyZone Switch HR Monitor (bonus $160 value) for over $300 in team discount value ($140 discount + $160 heart rate monitor)!

  • MYZONE & MZ-FITNESS TEST @ http://tinyurl.com/4star-myzone60   (Get a MyZone MZ-Switch heart rate monitor and associate it to 4 STAR ENDURANCE facility ID # 4SUS001 then complete a MZ-FITNESS TEST and attend some virtual workout classes via the phone app to continue to test and track your fitness!

  • TRI ASSESSMENT @ www.Tri312.com (Receive up to $40 off as a club + volunteer discount using our indoor triathlons to baseline your triathlon fitness!

 

✶  3rd STAR = LEARN!

Never stop learning!  Train your brain just like you train your body - with focus, structure, and fun!  Learn to become a smarter athlete by attending our workouts, clinics, or by taking advantage of our private coaching and metabolic testing offerings!

 

✶  4th STAR = INSPIRE!

To put some true meaning and motivation behind your training, consider embracing our training communities or giving back through our charity partners!  Join these groups to engage, interact, and make the most of your training experience with some camaraderie, philanthropy, and volunteerism for a nice motivational boost!

That's it for now!  We also recommend taking advantage of our insane number of team discounts, like getting 25-30% off Garmin products, up to $39/mo off Lakeshore Sport & Fitness (LSF) Illinois Center gym membership (save over $400/year!), and more!   So be sure to see our TEAM DISCOUNTS page for more details as we're constantly adding new team discounts!  And if you can't find something, just let us know and we can seek out new codes!
