Here are what current and past clients are saying about coaching with Mike and MSN Pro Coaching:
"After 3 years of trying on my own to reach the top level of Cat 2 mountain biking and move on to Cat 1, I needed a change. I was not getting near my goals. My training was inconsistent and didn't contain the right training at the right time to benefit me. I decided coaching was in order and enlisted the help of Michael Norton of MSN Pro Coaching. I went from a low to mid-pack racer and never seeing the podium,
to taking first in my age group and 3rd overall in my first race, a HUGE accomplishment for me. This was after only 5 months of training. I had never felt so great out on the race course! Follow Mike's program and you will have results."

"I approached Mike Norton regarding coaching leading up to my first Ironman competition. As an experienced coach and athlete with a degree in Physical Education and Coaching, I knew the benefits of having somebody to be accountable to. The structure and training schedule that Mike set up worked very well in to my schedule and allowed me to see the gains in fitness at certain periods of training. I really liked that I did not have to wait until my big event to see the payoff! When the day of Ironman did arrive, I was able to accomplish all of the goals I had put in place, including a 20 minute personal best on the bike portion. The experience and knowledge that Mike brought to my training proved invaluable to the success of my race."-Elite Iron Man Tri- athlete
"We did accomplish that elusive win at Somerville! Very Sweet"-Masters athlete coached for 4+ seasons
"Michael Norton brings years of experience and passion to his coaching based on his professional racing career and his love for this most beautiful sport. Mike is well-versed in periodization, power training, heart rate zone training, racing strategy and, most importantly, helping a rider determine and exploit his or her strengths. When I met Mike I was sure I was a climber given my size. Mike quickly determined my greatest strength was sprinting and he was right! After learning how to position myself and conserve energy and how to be fearless in the elbow bumping world of the sprint I have started to win races."
-Cat. 3/Masters athlete coached for 2 seasons
"Michael Norton and I began working together in 2008. In March 2009, I came down to New York and he created a custom personalized 2 week training camp complete with testing, bike fit and motor pacing. The coaching and training was fantastic and gave me the fitness and motivation to achieve my goals in cycling. 2009 was my most successful season. Fifth at U23 Canadian championships, highest placed U25 Canadian at Tour de Beauce and champion of the 2009 Ontario Provincial TimeTrial. Michael's coaching definitely helped make my season."-Cat. 1/UCI Elite athlete on Canadian national team
"I think we can both agree that the season was a real success. We achieved a cyclocross State Championship, a 2nd place finish in the season-long Garden State Cup series, a 9th place at Track Nationals, and a 16th placing in the National Time Trial. As I mentioned in the past I appreciate all the help you give me and always look forward to our weekly call."-Master athlete coached for 4+ seasons
"I have been racing and riding for over 30 years using old school training methods. Mike showed me ways to improve training. Getting faster, stronger and having a more effective racing season. He has tailored the training program to work around my extremely limited time per day. His use of Training Peaks as a way to log and deliver weekly workout plans is wonderful. Mike has been very accessible and willing to talk."-Master athlete coached for 2+ seasons
