Although she focuses on working with endurance athletes, her clients include men and women of all ages and athletic goals.

Training for triathlons and other distance events offered her a unique understanding of the overuse injuries commonly seen among many endurance athletes. Robin decided to go back to school for exercise physiology and is now a certified strength and conditioning coach with the National Strength and Conditioning Association as well as a Health Fitness Instructor with the American College of Sports Medicine.
