What Our Athletes Say
“Adina stands out for her genuine and sincere nature. That authenticity is something I truly value because it means I can trust her. Thanks to Adina and Team B*REAL, I not only crushed my open water swim goal, but I also discovered a newfound confidence in myself. "
Amy
"I set a goal to run my first half marathon. Adina customized a plan to fit my busy life so it felt manageable. She quickly adjusted it so I could train safely while struggling through plantar fasciitis and a calf strain. Her confidence in me was contagious and kept me focused on my goal. I did it – and with time to spare!"
Erin
Adina gives me advice and training techniques that are sound, practical and easy to apply. I’m so proud of what I’ve accomplished. I improved my open water swims, was part of a sprint triathlon relay, and most importantly, recovered well from my surgery.
