Bio:

Tori will again be leading the Milwaukee Heart Zones team. As Head Coach since 2008 she understands what it takes to complete your first or your 20th event.

Tori is a wife, a mother of five, a grandma of a beautiful baby girl, a coach and a triathlete.

Tori has always been interested in health & fitness, with a strong swimming background as a competitive swimmer. As an adult, this led her into triathlons. As she became involved in the tri and training community, she was connected to Hall of Fame Triathlete and author Sally Edwards and began coaching for her through Heart Zones Coaching. The Heart Zones philosophy is the main source of Tori's personal fitness beliefs & success.

Tori finished her first triathlon in 2006 at the age of 40 and it empowered her to continue to change her fitness level and have a healthier lifestyle. She has lost over 90 lbs and has now competed many events from triathlons to half marathon and has placed in the top 3 multiple times in her age group.

Tori knows how women wear multiple "hats" and often juggle many responsibilities. She believes in training SMARTER, not longer- to help fit into busy lifestyles. This year Tori is training for the Racine 70.3 Half Ironman and the 90 mile "Race the Lake" Bike Race.

Tori loves coaching and motivating/helping others to achieve their own personal goals!

Testimonials:

My life totally changed when I met Tori! She has motivated me to do things that I have never even considered and didn't think would be possible. Additionally, the training methods she uses really work. I don't feel like I'm killing myself with training, yet my performance keeps improving. -Penny Farray

I signed up for Tori's team with Heart Zones Coaching Triathlon Training in order to compete in my third Danskin Triathlon. What an amazing difference it made! I DECREASED my time by an amazing 21 min!!! The camaraderie of the girls on my team, along with the techniques I learned from taking the class, and the encouragement from my coaches made a huge difference. I DEFINATELY want to take the training again. In fact, I'm looking forward to taking the training again. -Deb Urbanek

I trained for my first Triathlon with Tori. She is an inspirational and caring coach, always eager and committed to help you achieve your specific training or racing goals. Tori provided plenty of personalized guidance in a structured group setting. Thanks to Tori and the Heart Zones® Training system, I finished my first Triathlon feeling strong, inspired and happy, with a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Thanks Tori! -Anne M.

For several years I trained by myself for Sprint Triathlons and had plateaued in terms of my results. I was skeptical of the improvements Tori claimed her athletes achieved from heart rate training but decided to give [it] a try anyway. Training under Tori’s leadership and guidance helped me to be prepared for all aspects of the race from nutrition to transitions. The focus on heart rate training clearly helped me to improve my performance by more than 15 minutes. I was impressed by the focus on our safety and well being during training and preparations for participation in the upcoming events. The benefits of the training group went well beyond the physical training aspects. Tori is very knowledgeable and willing shares her personal experiences in teaching and as motivation for her team. The personal attention from Tori combined with the camaraderie, celebration of both large and small successes, and encouragement within the group made training fun! I’m no longer skeptical and still on my training journey with new goals on the horizon!-Cindy Bernt
