Coburn Coaching

I first started training with Ian 8 years ago, and after a few months together, I was in the best shape of my life. Ian’s focus on stability, flexibility, and mobility really helped me focus on the things I used to overlook when training on my own. As an avid downhill skier and cross country mountain bikes, these things have become increasingly important year after year. Training with Ian allows me to continue doing the things I enjoy, at a high level.

I am a 50+ womens Competitive masters cycling competitions nationally and internationally.

My profession is as a physician and I am passionate about exercise as medicine. Ian’s expertise and passion for learning really aligns with my personal and professional goals.

What sets Ian apart from other professionals in this field:
Attention and detail to individual strengths and areas that need improvements vs a cookie cutter approach. Unsurpassed any previous one on one training I have done with strength coaches. Ians expertise is at the level of an expert practitioner as he has a passion for peeling back the onion of each client to get at the root of the issues. He also works collaboratively with other experts such as my physiotherapy to really deliver excellent care.

In the last 6 months: Significantly improved mobility and function in previously injured left knee as key part of multi modal rehab plan. Improved sleep, stress reduction and feeling pain free!

Ian has helped me balance competition goals with goals for longevity to keep me fit enough to keep up with my athletic pre-teen daughter and labradoodle for years to come!

My wife and I have been training with Ian for 3 months now. We are an older retired
couple, and Ian comes to our house once a week for an hour-long training session. Our
sessions are focused on improving our mobility, strength and posture. We have gained
more flexibility and notice improvements in walking and core strength. We make every
effort to do the prescribed exercises daily. Ian gives clear instructions, is very
personable and patient, and adapts the exercises to our individual needs. Thanks Ian!

I’ve been training with Ian now for 7+ years. As a middle aged aspiring triathlete, strength training and injury prevention are critical for me. Ian does an amazing job tailoring his workouts with a wide variety of exercises to always keep your body adapting and getting stronger. His knowledge of the human body is top notch and he’s always sharing the latest training research with us in our group class. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian to anyone I know who needs personal training and I plan to continue working with him for years to come!

I was looking to get back into exercising, but had never been in a gym setting before. I booked 4 sessions with Ian, he set a good pace for me as beginner but also made sure to push me and now I feel more motivated to move more. Thanks Ian!

Although Ian has been my coach for less than a month, he’s made a tremendous difference in my recovery from a recurring knee injury. I would never have been able to get to this point without him. Ian’s patience and extensive knowledge make him a perfect coach and trainer. I highly recommend him.

I first met Ian several years ago in my search to find someone that could help my with serious back pain I was having. I’m not sure either of us thought I could get to where I am now. His approach of making sure I’m moving properly and not compensating by using other muscles has re-wired most of my movement patterns. I look forward to our sessions every week and have recommended him to several other people.
