LOVE this place. They've changed my life. Sounds super cheesy, I know, but it's true. I'm just a regular human who let herself go in the pandemic and want to get on track. But, despite not being a triathlete, their professionalism and kindness to me is above and beyond. The facility is impeccable, and the coaches are super helpful. Being in the squad is like having a fitness family, seriously. It's such an incredible experience. I'm losing weight, gaining new habits and completely rethinking my approach to exercise as a tool to live a longer, sane, healthier life. Matt's podcast is always insightful

Skill, encouragement, community... these foundations of PPF have helped me overcome physical and emotional challenges in life... in 2018 i was injured and could walk 424' in 6 minutes. God helped me to climb back from that and be able to spend hours swimming, biking, and running in a half ironman to the glory of God this year. PPF was a God send in my life as they used what they knew to help me recover and build and thrive in a life that is busy and carries stress as all of our lives are and do. Thansk you PPF! God bless you all :)

I have been coached as a 1:1 athlete by Purplepatch Fitness since 2015 and I'm still learning, growing and LOVING the experience daily. It's AWESOME that I can reach out to my coach anytime I have a question. On a daily basis I feel connected through my scheduled workout plan via my phone app, for questions, support, accountability and education. Purplepatch got me to Kona and to several ultra marathons but most importantly keeps me on track on a daily basis for my health and fitness which is a big part of who I am.

Although I've only visited the physical location once, I have been a member of the Purple Patch squad for several years and I have zero regrets. It has been a terrific experience where I have grown as a triathlete and have learned more about other aspects of training that I would've never thought of. The coaches are all excellent at sharing their knowledge in a way that is welcoming and helpful. The approach to training is in line with my needs and abilities.
I believe Purple Patch Fitness works hard to provide support to all types of athletes and makes it fun in the process. Even within

Working with Purple Patch has been a great addition to my growth in many aspects of life. What started off as a fitness endeavor to improve a race time has really evolved into a foundation that I have been able to build upon across home, work and the rest of life. Highly recommended for those that a process driven and looking to build habits, the online community is global, diverse, friendly and inspiring to say the least!

As a triathlon newbie ('try'-athlete), I stumbled through my first race on a bet from a work colleague, I started listening to the podcast from Purple Patch and the insights and process aligned with my thinking. I signed up for the squad program and worked with the community for several months before getting some specific 1:1 coaching. It's been life changing.
The pillars of performance align well outside of the weekend sport and I've now built habits that provide a solid foundation for my life.
During the pandemic, these guys also gave away the house, ran so many free webinars

The team at Purple Patch not only gives A+ training programs, but their customer service is wonderful. They make it easy for you to bring fitness into your life no matter how busy you are. What I love even more is how the fitness programs are catered toward getting in shape but injury prevention. I'm loving it.

If you are not a professional athlete, or someone willing to do a very expensive camp, or able to shell out big money of the face to face training, then they treat you like a 2nd class person. Nothing they do for you will be personalized. The workouts in Matt Dixon's book are better and only $17 total on Amazon versus a monthly fee.
