Testimonials
Athletes describe their Blueshift experience.
"I can't say enough great things about working with Matt. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he also trains people with a recognition that his athletes have busy lives, jobs, kids etc and that it all needs to fit. When we got started, he immediately identified where my existing training patterns were effective, and where I could make changes for better results. In just two months with him, I have made huge gains by training smarter. Even though he's in Boston and I'm in CT, we stay very connected on training plans, my fatigue level, optimal schedule, etc. using email, calls and TrainingPeaks. He takes a very holistic view of his athletes, giving great advice about when to back off and when to push in order to stay healthy and keep progressing. It is a real pleasure and incredibly exciting to be coached by Matt! If you want to take your training and racing to the next level, I highly recommend hiring him."

"Recently I completed my first half-ironman (Timberman) and Matt was instrumental in preparing me mentally and physically. He puts a lot of thought into planning his workouts and comes up with some creative ideas that make training even more interesting. I live in downtown Boston and don't have a lot of time for training but the bike trainer workouts and intervals he designed were great preparation for the hills on the Timberman bike course. This is just an example of Matt's philosophy of very time efficient and quality workouts. Before I met Matt I had constant ankle problems but after a run analysis (complete with video breakdown and a detailed report) my style has changed completely, the ankle problems have subsided and my running has dramatically improved. I have recommended Matt to all my triathlon friends!"

"As a working mom of 3 young children with a demanding job and a husband who travels, I rely on Matt's expertise to optimize the effectiveness of my workout time. I enter my data as I complete the scheduled workouts (including uploaded Garmin data from my trusty Forerunner 405). Matt analyzes my results and provides me with real-time feedback and suggestions for future workouts. Matt is very easy to work with and truly understands how life can get in the way of the ideal training plan. Matt is incredibly responsive whenever I need clarification on a workout he's scheduled or I want to discuss some other issue with him. In our weekly check-in calls, I have picked his brain on so many different topics, including nutrition, power meters, swim/bike/run techniques, race planning, analysis of race/workout performance, and various different training philosophies. I am amazed at how patient he is with all my questions! Matt is really smart and has a wealth of knowledge gained through self-education and personal experience doing triathlons. He has dealt with many of the challenges that triathletes face and freely offers insightful tips and suggestions. I can't wait to see how far I can go under Matt's guidance!"

"I have been working with Coach Matt since 2007. I came to the sport of triathlon as a marathoner looking for another endurance challenge. After doing four half-ironman events, I decided to do an Ironman as my 50th birthday present to myself.
Prior to hiring Coach Matt, I read every book that I could get my hands on and tried various plans; however, I was working myself into the ground. Under Coach Matt's plan, I was actually putting in less hours...but getting faster and stronger. He had me training smarter and getting the appropriate amount of rest. Also, he introduced me to training with a power meter, which made those long off-season bike intervals fun!! And the Garmin 405 GPS which provides so much data for both bike and run training!!"

"I've been working with Coach Matt since summer of 2010 and the experience has been fantastic. I've seen marked improvements in my racing and overall fitness, and it definitely is a result of the programs that he has put together for me. My running has become faster than I thought it could be. He also has been fantastic in terms of fielding questions/concerns and getting back quickly. I really have nothing but positive things to say about Coach Matt. I definitely can vouch for him being an excellent coach!"
- Melissa T.
"Matt has been my coach for the past 2 seasons and is creating custom training plans for me this season, too. I've come a long way under Matt's guidance. He's helped me improve my athletic performance significantly and achieve (exceed) my goals. This is all done very effectively given the limited amount of training time I have. I think Matt's coaching has worked well for me because I can trust his advice. I'm sure he will help you be very well prepared for your next event."
