This session is mind blowing.
I was able to learn the science behind the food I'm putting inside my body. True indeed that the scale doesn't define if you're healthy or not. You could weigh more with better body composition, or you could weigh less but not be healthy. Small things that make a big difference in how I see food and nutrition.

“In 15 years of triathlon, I have never had a coach like Raz. He is the best I've ever worked with, and no one else comes close. My goal has always been to be the best possible triathlete I could be, regardless of the numbers. Raz made that happen for me, nothing less. What sets him apart is how deeply he cares. He is dedicated to every one of his athletes, and I have always felt that I was more than just a name on his roster. He is driven to help you become the best athlete you can be, and he is just as mindful of your wellbeing as your performance. He constantly reminds me that every small step leads to the goal, and he is always right there beside me, inspiring me and pushing me to be my best. His training is precise and data-driven, built around my actual physical abilities. He also understands that triathlon is only one part of my life. He factors in my daily work and knows how to balance the two. When I've been injured, he brought me back carefully and patiently, and I came out stronger every time. I am eternally grateful to Raz for not only improving my performance, but also for changing me as a person. His heart is in coaching, and you can feel it in everything he does. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better coach! From the professionalism and precision in planning every workout to the consistent communication, regular check-ins, and genuine interest in my progress, Raz was there every step of the way. Raz’s encouragement, motivation, and belief in me pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of. Thanks to our journey together, I not only completed my very first race, but also absolutely smashed the goal we had set: running 10K in under an hour! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares and knows how to bring out your best!”
“My first goal was simply to complete my first full-distance Ironman successfully. For the second one, the goal was to improve my finish time, feel great throughout the race, and stay injury-free. Coaching with Raz made all the difference in achieving both.”
“I had the privilege of being coached by Raz for a full year as he prepared me for my Ironman competition. He built a highly professional and personalized training program that prepared me in the best possible way, making the entire race an incredible experience. Even when I suffered one accident during the training period, Raz knew exactly how to adapt and adjust the program to meet my individual needs. He followed my training data on a daily basis through my sports watch, providing constant feedback, guidance, and support. Beyond his professional expertise, Raz is an exceptional person who supports you physically, mentally, and psychologically throughout the journey. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly committed coach.”
“Training with Raz for two marathons was truly a game-changer for me. What sets him apart is his holistic, personalized approach: every single workout accounted for my age, fitness level, and physical condition, backed by essential nutritional guidance and steady mental support throughout the entire journey. Raz genuinely takes the time to know his athletes inside and out, building programs that inspire confidence and deliver real results. If you want to push your limits and turn your running goals into reality, Raz is the coach you want in your corner.”
“Amazing coach who puts so much time and effort in understanding your needs and managing your program accordingly. His coaching and athlete experience was invaluable to me. Thank you so much for all your guidance friendship and care. I would not have done 5 70.3 without you!”
“I’ve known Raz for years, and a year ago I came back to train with him. He’s guiding me toward peak performance and coaching me on mindset, nutrition and fitness. One of the highlights of my year was finishing a half marathon in 2 hours and 15 minutes. I love his dedication and his around-the-clock availability, and it’s clear he truly cares. As an active Ironman, Raz is a real role model and an inspiration for me.”
