FAQ's

How long is the training program for an event?

Our coaching is perpetual, and our programs are personalized, so you can train with us for as long as you'd like. We simply discuss your goals with you when you sign up, then design a program for whatever duration will best prepare you for the event you've chosen. Most training periods depend on the event, climate, and individual. We suggest 4 months for a long-distance event such as a marathon or triathlon.

Do I need to pick a single coaching method?

No. You will have full access to one-on-one coaching, daily group sessions, and remote coaching if you need it. We are here to help you decide what combination works best for your schedule and location.

How do I join a training team?

It's easy. If you are not enrolling with a company or group of friends but would like to be on a team, we will be happy to introduce you to a client team, or place you on one of our AI teams. Just let us know.

If I go away on business, can I use remote coaching?

Yes. Remote coaching is the ideal way to stay on target for your endurance challenge while away on business. All you need is computer access and a place to train. That can be a hotel gym treadmill, stationary cycle, and pool... Or, even better, the ocean and the open road.

Can my company become an AI sponsor?

Certainly. We encourage all able companies to endorse health-driven and/or eco-conscious initiatives in some fashion. If you're interested in becoming an AI sponsor, please contact us directly.

If I know of an event that's not on your calendar, will you support it?

Usually. We try to support our members for all official races. If you would like to enter an unmarked event, simply let us know what and where it is, and we will do our best to provide training for it.

If I train with AI, can I still raise money for a cause of my choosing?

Of course. We highly encourage it! You can create your own website to raise and track funds, or if you prefer, we can create one for you. Just let us know.

Can I access the training software if I'm away from my computer?

Yes. Your account is on a secure server that can be accessed from any computer or wireless device. Simply visit our website and log in.

Do members of my company log in to AI individually?

Yes. Although you have your own team profile and account at AI, your members can log in individually to access their own personal stats, training instructions, meal templates, Forum usernames, etc.

Can my company create its own training site to log into AI?

Yes! You can create an AI-affiliated website for your company, with a direct login to the AI site and software. If you'd prefer us to handle it, we can create your company training website for you.
