Why People Love GOTRIbal - Testimonials

In Honor of all that we can be and all that the sport has given me- being a member is my way of inspiring others to be strong and find themselves. - Laurene

I first joined to meet women who loved to train & compete in triathlons. The support and camaraderie is top notch and I've found new friends with a vast knowledge in training and nutrition, there's no other female organization like it. - Lisa
 

“I think of all that I have accomplished so far. Never in my life have I RAN a mile... Yes, I'm only at a mile but I am so out of shape and was never a runner to begin with. My swimming is coming back slowly but surely and my biking is good. Small steps, which I was never good at taking, will be my new mantra.

I created a training log calendar on my computer to not only record my activity but to also have a little motivator. I included Tanya's motto "Onward and Upward!" at the bottom, just to keep me going. It has helped. Plus, when I look at the training log, I think WOW, look what I've accomplished already.”  – GOTRIbal member

Once you GOTRIbal you never go back. GOTRIbal has given me the change to feel strong, healthy and confident in myself as a person and as a woman. GOTRIbal is the best present to give to yourself! - Heather

I am so totally excited!!! I am down 12 pounds and have taken 3 inches off total from arms, chest, waist, thigh, hips. Yeah!!! I truly love this program. I look forward to the workouts each day. - D.V

I've achieved things I NEVER thought possible though GOTRIbal. It legitimately supports and encourages the newer & older female triathlete & has proven this to me through consistent and solid encouragement! - Brenda

I don’t have much family, and no family closer than, oh, 2,000 miles or so.  GOTRIbal is my little Triathlon family, because after all these years, I know who I am again.  I was just telling someone how cool it is, that in the past 2 years that I have been searching for myself, I found the 17 year old girl I remember.  I believe in this group because I am able to connect with so many women from so many different places and all walks of life.  I get to hear their stories, their battles, their accomplishments, and I realize that I really am capable of anything.  – Bobbie S.
 
“I want to thank you and Bobbie for an inspiring evening. I am very excited about this group of fantastic women, I enjoyed meeting interesting active women that are eager to motivate and support as we train for our next event. I also want to thank the ladies for the suggestion on acquiring running shoes for my group of 5th and 6th grade runners. I have 15 students in a an elementary school running club who can not afford shoes. I'm preparing letters today so that I can supply them with cool shoes." – SD Tribe member
 
“Last week, I mentioned that my son (15 yr old) went biking with me...well, this Sunday he actually went to the rec center with me and RAN with me on the track. Talk about shocking as this is a boy who has spent most of his summer playing video games while at his mom's house (I'm the custodial step-mom)”. – Wyoming TRIbe member
 
 
“Through GOTRIbal I have found encouragement and support. As soon as I joined GOTRIbal, , I have felt totally supported and encouraged. Then I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Tanya and attend the GOTRIbal Conference in October. Wow! What an amazing time that was. Full of learning and making connections with other GOTRIbal women from all over the U.S.A.” – Dana V.
The coolest thing happened before I left work for the gym I decided to log in to this site.....
The amazing thing is all the messages that were sitting there for me to read......I was so ready to get in the gym and first worked out with my trainer and then I took all those messages with me to the treadmill and they kept running thru my mind.....strangers who were kind to leave words that were the fuel I needed to push past the mile mark when everything in me said ok your done.... – NZ Tribe Member

“I'm a very private person but here I don't censor how I feel in my run, I love the sincere honest comments the women make to each other to help encourage them to keep going.” – GOTRIbal Member
 
“I immediately felt a shift in how I approach running with reading other women's experiences and also sharing techniques and getting valuable information in proper form. By blogging about my training I get a different look and keeps me inspired to continue on this journey” – GOTRIbal member
 
“I am so pumped to be a part of this community! AND... Karen is signing up for the Long Beach Marathon with me!! I'm trying to talk as many women into running/walking it as possible. Karen's mom has even agreed to walk in the Half!!!! I'm still working on my mom and a few good friends in Memphis. The marathon is on October 11 which means I'll complete a marathon before my 30th b-day. So cool. Thanks for introducing me to GoTRIbal! You rock.” – GOTRIbal Member

took third place in my age group! All ofthe training, gear, and nutrition advice from GOTRIbal ladies was amazing...” – IL TRIbe member
