"kishlay does not just coach, he will make sure you become the best version of yourself by upholding the values of not only sports, but life in general. Triathlons are not just events for him, it is a spiritual journey making one better with each stroke, pedal and stride. I instantly loved his approach with these values. On practical front, he is a coach who is available 24X7 for his students, never understood how he manages this with his own rigorous training routine. Personally for me, its not just the race he prepared me for, i am a better human after my training. Another beautiful thing about training with kishlay, he will make sure your every workout is provides just right amount of challenge which mames it fun and provides improvement. Whenever i felt any doubt starting from which gear to buy, to my own personal opinions about the amount i wanted to spend on a particular stuff, he was available for support. He will ask for daily feedback on every workout and make sure every effort you make builds up in the progress. He is a coach who will live and feel your targets as his own. After having decided to do a full ironman, the best thing that happened to me was my engagement with coach kishlay without whom the results were impossible."

"Training under Coach Kishlay has been an exceptional experience. The combination of structured online coaching and open-water acclimatisation sessions helped me progress significantly across all three disciplines-swimming, cycling, and running. I developed a strong understanding of hydration, nutrition, pacing, and race-day strategy, which enabled me to achieve my goal of completing my races confidently and efficiently. During the training program, I recorded my fastest half marathon, completed multiple 7+ hour rides for the first time, and successfully finished two full-distance Ironman swims in training. The dedicated open-water sessions, including my first lake swim, played a crucial role in building confidence for race day. Overall, the coaching approach, personal guidance, and continuous feedback helped me grow as a triathlete and execute my races with discipline and clarity."
