I started exercising 2 years ago when my 2nd baby was 3 months old…I am not an exerciser, I don’t like sweating, being seen in public looking stupid or any of that…however my mom and I started working out via Skype and I was able to do it in the peace and comfort of my own home…well I swore up and down that I would never run…so we did cardio, yoga, Pilates, strength training, you name it, anything but running…and after 2 years, the people who I’ve seen that have the most pronounced body improvements are my friends who run…so after the new year I decided to Google it and I found you and I got the treadmill trainer volume 1…it’s been 3 weeks and I actually completed the whole intermediate section yesterday…I feel so proud every time I finish…I love that you are there to support me through the whole thing…you have useful information, especially for someone who has never ran and who never had any intention of running…I listen to you in one ear and crank up old 90′s dance mix cds and just hope for the best…ha-ha! Anyways, just wanted to thank you for helping me to accomplish this new goal…
Sincerely,
Lindsay

I was excited to have my treadmill trainer workouts!

After experiencing a horrible experience where a personal trainer laughed at me, I was excited to have my treadmill trainer workouts! Having a voice right there with me walking me through a workout and encouraging me was just what I needed!

I have always disliked running but since purchasing and using treadmill trainer I have learned to relax and enjoy the experience.

I was looking for an effective way to increase my aerobic capacity and understanding that running is one of the most effective ways to do so, I figured I would give Treadmill trainer a go. That was 3 weeks ago and after using the product 2 to 3 times a week along with my other FitterU Workouts, I have noticed a significant difference in endurance and capacity. I went from running/ walking for 1.7 miles to 3.1 miles in the same amount of time which is just fantastic and i have moved on to TT1 intermediate. What this means is I am accomplishing more work during the same amount of time. I have always disliked running but since purchasing and using treadmill trainer I have learned to relax and enjoy the experience. Then you, I really do never feel like I am alone on the treadmill.

My name is Daniel, Peruvian, 33 years old. My dad was a professional soccer player and I have played all my life…
I’m currently living in Rochester, NY where soccer has gotten really big. About two years ago I played for a team in a summer tournament and haven’t played since then.

About a month ago decided to play again for the summer and got a team to play for, but, when i tried out it was embarrassing , I couldn’t run, I felt like I was dying on the field…

I needed to do something right away and, since I am also a subscriber of your YouTube channel, bumped on your interval trainings and you recommended volume 2 and 3 so I gave it a shot.

So, after I have been training following your dynamic warm ups, nutrition advices plus interval training twice a week…….. Last night in practice I felt like I was flying!!!!! I was unstoppable!!! Even one of the teammates told me,
“MAN YOU ARE RUNNING TONIGHT WHAT DID YOU DO???????” Seriously, just like you said on your workout, “You are unstoppable my friend.” And now I feel I am

It was a nice change of pace and I love your coaching through the intervals!

Don’t know if I can keep this short enough but here goes. My daughter introduced me to Treadmill Trainer about a year ago. I was 58 years old and weighed in at 217#.

My first workout was 12 minutes 10 of which were walking and the 20 second intervals. Currently I am using the elliptical workouts on my non-running days. I love them! It was a nice change of pace and I love your coaching through the intervals! “Leave it all on the field! Go! Go! ” Yes, that’s one of my favorite lines!

Oh, and I am now 59, weigh in at 160 and training for my first 10K (my leg of the OKC Marathon relay I am running with my family). So how do I say thank you for helping me reclaim my health and life? And giving us a whole new family activity!

- Debbie

I love the “Treadmill Trainer” series of MP3s that I use on my iPod. Yuri is right there with you as you train and motivates you every step of the way. Because of the structured system of interval training that Yuri uses, I find it easier to meet those running goals that I have without killing myself. The “Treadmill Trainer” series is so good; my wife has now started to use it and absolutely loves her workouts.

Thanks so much Yuri

P.S. we are both in our mid 50s

after using your TT Vol 2 I am so much more focused…..

I started running in April of this year after having lost 5 stone and really enjoyed the experience BUT after using your TT Vol 2 I am so much more focused and am now able to run over 5K by the end of the session. I find the interval training fabulous for working up a really good ‘sweat’ and my stamina has increased dramatically. One little story – we have just come back from some serious walking in The Lake District and one day this week I was really flagging while going up an extremely hard ascent – your words came to me from your podcast – Never Ever Ever Give Up – Never Never Never Ever Give Up!!!

I love your work and will be starting the UFit programme sometime next week.

Regards

- Liz

The results have been dramatic in terms of my stamina and ability to power through the workouts…..

I have been using the Treadmill Trainer volume 1 for the past few weeks and could not be happier.  The results have been dramatic in terms of my stamina and ability to power through the workouts only after a few sessions.  I was a little skeptical at first because I have not been doing any running or really any steady exercise for many many months.  I started your program and now I am building to the point where I have set a goal to move to volume 2 by months end.  I have also challenged myself to build towards being able to run a 5K race by spring time.  If all goes well – my goal is to build to a point where I can run my first marathon within the next 2 years.  A lofty goal, but your course and support has given me the ability to believe in myself and I know with your support I will reach my goal.

Thank you,

- Bob

Do you want to know the biggest thing I LOVE about FBI and other interval training programs you offer? It’s the positive effect it has on my life outside the gym!  Just everyday activities, like climbing stairs, lifting grandchildren, running for the bus…  these things are all easier because my body has gotten stronger doing intervals.  Great programs- keep up the  good work!

- Jackie

I wasn’t aware that I could actually run at those speeds!

I have to say FBI 1 is one of the most challenging of the Treadmill Trainer workouts I’ve done. To date I’ve not yet managed to get through the complete workout, but nevertheless I felt very pleased (not to mention energized) after completing the sections that I could manage. I wasn’t aware that I could actually run at those speeds! Thanks for the consistently high quality of your workouts. I know they help me to push myself much further than I would do without your coaching on my headphones.

- Maik

The feeling at the end of FBI 1 is of true satisfaction…..

I have been using the FBI 1 for couple of weeks now. I love the fact that the program is super concentrated in 45 minutes! It quickly raises your pulse and gets those muscles well fired up.

I have followed this program without any difficulty at all; I love the fast pace of it all and feel that it is working for me in the sense that as I haven’t produced any lactic acid I have been using my fat storage throughout the work out.

The feeling at the end of FBI 1 is of true satisfaction and I have associated another TT workout or a section of the Marathon Training to finish my outdoor training.  I recommend the FBI to anyone who wants an extra challenge.

Cheers Yuri, keep them coming!!

- Elissa

I am 45 years old and I wanted to join the army reserve and as part of joining you have to have a basic level of fitness and being able to run a minimum of 2.5 Kilometres is one of them.

I hadn’t done any type of running since high school 30 years ago and I wasn’t looking forward to trying to run this distance, actually dreading the thought.

I was talking to a friend one day and he said have you heard of interval training, which I hadn’t. So I did some searches on the internet and came across Treadmill Trainer. I read the website and watched the videos and decided to download volume one.

Being a bit skeptical I went to my local sporting field. Well I was pleasantly surprised right from the start as Yuri talked and entertained me through each level of the beginner level. I surprised myself at how far I could actually run and how quick the time went by realizing that time does fly when you’re having fun.

Thank You Yuri, Now I hate to miss a run session.

- Paul

An exciting challenge that has really shaken up my running regimen

As a treadmill runner, monotony is a challenge.  Yuri’s programs offer the kind of diversity that not only allows me to expand my fitness goals, but also to break through the mental barriers that can be associated with working out.  FBI-1 is an exciting challenge that has really shaken up my running regimen.   The very short work intervals of FBI-1 help to me to find the mental strength that is necessary to really push myself during the work bouts.

Though I use this on a treadmill (and thus do a lot of button-pushing in this workout), FBI-1 is still very easy to use…a statement that is not to say that the workout, itself, is easy.  It isn’t.  It’s a true challenge – just as an interval run should be.  The very short, but intense, work intervals and limited recovery, keeps this workout moving at a fast pace – making it impossible for boredom to set in; and though it’s very challenging, knowing that the work bouts are so short, it becomes easier to push through to see the workout through to the very end.  The other thing that I love about FBI-1 is the overall duration of the run. Coming in at about 40 minutes, including the warm-up and cool-down, this workout is easy for me to budget into my schedule.

From a pure fitness perspective, this is an incredible speed work run!  It has allowed me to push myself faster than I have ever attempted before.  Knowing that the work intervals are mere seconds in length, I feel that I can tackle faster speeds for those short durations.  It has worked to help me to make some subtle improvements in my overall speed.

The relentless high intensity intervals and short recoveries are very taxing – making this a uniquely challenging run for just about any fitness level (since the work intervals are based on an individual’s maximum speed and not a predefined, specific number).  It’s a tough one…but it’s also short, helps to improve running speed and mental fortitude, and is a great addition to Yuri’s Treadmill Trainer series.

- Shannon

After just 3 weeks of using the Treadmill Trainer I can already see and feel a difference in my running.  I am able to run at greater intensities for longer periods of time without feeling as tired.  By using your product in conjunction with a strict diet, I’ve been able to lose 20 lb. in just one month!  Thank you!

I bought Yuri Elkaim’s Treadmill Trainer Volume 1 and it’s the best thing I have done in YEARS!!!

OK I am not a runner, never have been, played sports sure but running forget it!

Father Time and weight gain has however taken its toll and I needed something.

What next then? Well how many of us have treadmills somewhere that act as clothes hangers? Mine used like fury for a couple of weeks then end up in a sale or as a clothes hangar. It’s because everything I thought and used do on a treadmill was wrong!!!

I did some research and never thought in all my days I’d download a MP3 of someone telling me how to run. I mean come on left right left right at speed bit of music and….yeah it all gets a bit old…..well…….

Forget it…..I bought Yuri Elkaim’s Treadmill Trainer Volume 1 and it’s the best thing I have done in YEARS!!!

For a start it’s for beginners. Perfect. Early into the MP3 there’s a remark from Yuri that’s still a chuckle even after a few times about craziness. He has a great motivational way of speaking throughout this MP3. It really does feel like he is with you all the way. You learn technique; you understand how the starting point begins. That’s so easy if you think about it but Yuri explains what the talking test is well you’re on your way.

As you listen to the tape you’ll get all the instruction and motivation to want complete the tape. You’ll understand how interval training works and as you being to see improvements and you will – you’ll start challenge yourself. You’ll see that you get results with what seems be less effort as you improve your fitness. When you hear that last 8 seconds to go and you know you’re going to do it – if you are like me it’s just AWESOME when you hear lets slow it down and you’ve done something you may not have thought possible when you start the tape,

If you’re still awake after reading this far….it was BY FAR THE BEST THING I have done in years. I actually look forward which is hard to believe to doing my exercise. I can set myself targets without injury and know I have “A friend” with me. Albeit a voice on a tape. It’s just excellent.

My speeds and endurance have improved 100% and I feel much better than I have in years.

Yuri I am willing stand by what I write here and if anyone wants ask me a question feel free send them my email. I can only thank you for what you have done for this fat and lazy old git!!

Thank you again

-Frank

I’ve been using Treadmill Trainer Volume 1 – beginner every other day for the past 3 weeks.  I am new to running and it has been a blessing. I have seen so much improvement in my endurance, form, breathing, and overall health in general. I feel better, I look better and my state of mind has improved. My resting heart rate has decreased from 76 to 61 and I feel great. My blood pressure has gone from 138/92 to 118/75. I used to hate running, but to be honest, I’m starting to really love it and I look forward to it every time. Thanks, Yuri, for the motivation and coaching to accomplish what I never thought I would do in a million years.  I can tell people I’m a runner now! By the way, my 9 year old son is running with me and he is able to do the first 3 interval sets in Volume 1 – beginner. Thanks again for the example you set for people like me.

Thanks again, Yuri

With the help of this series and Yuri, I am more confident than ever that I will reach my goal…..

I have been working on losing weight and getting my fitness level up in order to get into the law enforcement field. I have always hated and feared running, but part of law enforcement tests is a timed 1.5 mile run. I tried doing workouts on my own, but I am ill-informed in improving my endurance. While I saw some small gains on my own, I needed guidance since after 1 month on my own I had a really hard time with running a mile without stopping. I could have gotten a personal trainer at a cost of $40 – $60, but it would have been too expensive. I then found, clearly my accident, the Treadmill Trainer series. I started the Basic workout and it was hard, but with Yuri’s guidance and motivation through my iPod, I got through. In the 3 weeks since I started, I have raised my speed on all workouts and started the Elliptical Workout series. I reached a milestone last night, 02/01/2012, I ran for 1.5 miles at 6.0 mph straight through (15 minutes). I even had enough energy to run another .5 miles. With the help of this series and Yuri, I am more confident than ever that I will reach my goal of 1.5 miles in 12 minutes, lose more weight, and keep on feeling great. Yuri, thank you for this series and I recommend this to anyone, especially those like me who fear starting a running program

Sincerely,

Jason

What can I say? I’m a 54 year old woman, who has never run in her life – not even as a child. Doing the my fitter u program has given me belief in myself and in what I can achieve.
In a short amount of time I have gone from being a non-runner to being able to complete Treadmill Trainer 1 with relative ease.  It felt so incredibly good to finish that final 4 minute jog the first time.
My main aim is to be able to do a 5k run and once I can do that who knows.

Kath

The results are AMAZING…..

Training for a 10K, I found Vol 3 truly challenging– I could not complete ALL the intervals until my 4th time using it. The results are AMAZING:  Just this week, during my 1 hour run, I managed to exceed my 5K and 10K personal best training times in the SAME run!

Bleu

But then I started using my treadmill trainer vol. 2, and it made me feel like a pro soccer player…..

Before I bought my treadmill trainer vol. 2, I was always getting tired very quickly during a soccer match, but then I started using my treadmill trainer vol. 2, and it made me feel like a pro soccer player, through out the whole match, and my coach also says that I have become a better player. So thank you Yuri!

For the past 3 weeks I have been faithfully running every other day with Yuri’s Treadmill Trainer 1 audio. I was running after work on the golf course-cart path at dusk with the dog. (She’s much faster than I am, and is always stopping and waiting for me).  The time passes quickly with Yuri’s voice in my ear encouraging me to go onward and not to stop. I was in Mexico on conference for one of those weeks and used it on the Treadmill there. Awesome to have a trainer anywhere you go….no excuses! I have lost 6 lbs, I have more energy, I have a way now to get rid of the frustrations that crop up from time to time at work….I think I am a happier person. I have just progressed to his new Audio Treadmill Trainer Intermediate which is a challenge for me…at the moment.

Joanne

It’s awesome!

It’s awesome! I never thought I would be motivated back into jogging, (used to in my teens) I’m now in my early 40′s, but the Interval Trainer is the best to motivate, encourage and inspire. I feel more motivated, energized and satisfied when I am done and I feel like I can achieve anything. I can jog for the whole 4 minutes!! It doesn’t sound that much but that is a big achievement for me.  I will be purchasing more Treadmill Trainer series in the future.
I feel GREAT!!! Thank You

Suzy

I’m more alert, and have tons of energy….

Treadmill trainer 1 has been great. I have noticed a huge difference in my daily routine. I’m an A/C service tech and I was finding myself wanting to fall asleep at the wheel. These past couple weeks I haven’t felt that way.  I’m more alert, and have tons of energy. Thanks Yuri you’ve been a huge help! I’m still working on that last 4 min run at the end I’m getting closer and closer.

Steve

I run faster, longer and burn more calories EVERY time I use your coaching…..

I have been using TT2 for the last month and loving it.  I live in Formosa, ON and don’t have access to parks and trails, so is too dangerous to run on the roads in the dark during the winter months.  All spring, summer and fall I have been running outside and dreaded getting out of routine over the winter months. This is why I purchased TT2 for my level of fitness.  I run 4 days per week and look forward to the program you have put together.  I run faster, longer and burn more calories EVERY time I use your coaching.

Thanks for your help,

Dennis

I am delighted with my progress so far….I started to use the treadmill trainer the next day after downloading it.  I am not using a treadmill, I am jogging outside, while my husband rides his bike along with me…..I use it three times a week, and I have noticed I have more energy, which is great. I have also lost a few pounds   I had forgotten how much I used to go out and enjoy a good run and it feels great to be learning how to do this once again.  I have not done any jogging in quite some years I am 56 and needed some help in getting started again. Listening to Yuri telling me what to do and giving me encouragement was great and as I progress I will be buying the other volumes in this series.

Kind Regards

Suzan

I want to tell you how much I LOVE the Treadmill Trainer Vol 1!!!

I want to tell you how much I LOVE the Treadmill Trainer Vol 1!!!  I really need someone in my ear telling me what to do all the time like that!  I love having you encourage me all the time!  I am a person who needs LOTS of positive reinforcement and I find I get that with your TTV1!!  I just ran with you this morning and I feel so much better because of it!!  Thank you so much for the treadmill trainer!!  I love it and am glad I found it!!

Thanks again

Tracy

I have to say that before your workout I hated to run…..

I have to say that before your workout I hated to run.  It was a necessary evil.  But since I started to use your workout 3 weeks ago, I really like to run.  I follow your workout as you have it setup and it is great.  I felt good after the workout and I do not ache.  It is amazing how far I run now and it does not seem like it took that long to get there.  I look forward to continue using your workout.

Thank You

Darryl
