Why choose Ready For programs for your training?

Small program size means your coach gets to know you well enough to learn about your goals and needs. It also means she can easily monitor students to ensure they are performing as intended.

It's cost effective. Training comes out to just a few dollars per week.

It's personal. You won't be lost in a crowd. Your coach will make adjustments to your plan in conjunction with you based on your needs, goals, and progress.

It's professional. You won't be handed off to volunteers who have mixed sets of skills and varying levels of expertise and commitment to attending.

It's led by someone who can relate to wanting someone to teach her the ropes. Vickey is an experienced walker and runner who has raced everything from one mile to 50K+, paced for a local training group, is a Greater Rochester Track Club board member, and leads West Side Walkers and Runners, so she's learned a lot about a variety of issues through first-hand experiences, listening to participants, and professional coaching instruction and contacts.
