From over-weight & out-of-shape to Ironman! When I joined 4D Racing, I could barely run a 5k. I came in knowing I wanted to complete Triathlons but lacked structure. For 3 years now Dustin has helped provide me with programing, education, advice, motivation, and everything I needed in a coach! He’s helped me grow as an athlete, adapt when necessary, and foster this unknown love of endurance sports. Every goal I’ve had he’s been fully supportive, realistic with what’s possible, and took every step to help me get there! I’ve learned when to listen to my body and when to push harder because I’m here to get better. Dustin consistently took my for feedback in order to scale my programing up as I improved or adjust & adapt as my outside life became more demanding. Everything is personalized – reminding me I’m more than just numbers, watts, or miles per hour. Will, Jessica, and Dustin all are amazing coaches, and I’m so glad to be a part of the 4D family!

Coach Will Jones always got me where I need to be for every race by setting me up for success though 4th Dimension Fitness / 4D Racing training. I couldn’t be where I am today without being held accountable and learning from him and my teammates.

Dustin has coached me for almost four years, and I cannot recommend him enough. Coming from a running background, I had no idea where to begin when I started cycling. I didn’t know the gear to buy, the workouts to do, or even how bike races worked. Dustin is a fountain of knowledge, and he helped me train to reach the best shape of my life. I began cycling as a freshman in college, and by the end of my first season, I was able to race on a national stage, all thanks to this coaching. Not only did Dustin give me the advice and training that I needed to succeed, he also helped instill in me a self-confidence in my ability that I had never experienced before. Dustin truly cares about all his athletes, and he makes them his priority. I highly recommend Dustin Drewes as a coach!

Hiring Jessica Jones as a coach was the smartest decision I could have made as a beginner triathlete.  In less than a year, her training pulled me from a back-of-the-pack racer to repeated podium performances. Her support and coaching have resulted in successful completion of my first Ironman and several 70.3 races. She caters my workouts to fit my busy schedule, and when life happens, Jessica is there to adjust my training plan so that I don’t fall behind. You’d be hard pressed to find another coach who cares as much about your personal and athletic growth. The 4D training plan is not just about building strength and confidence, but also character. My teammates are some of the most supportive athletes you’ll find on any course. 4D can’t be beat.

“I came from a running background and had very limited cycling experience when I started training with Coach Will.  He has transformed my swimming, cycling, and running along with my mind set towards training and racing.  COVID forced many of my major races to be rescheduled within weeks of each other.  He never doubted he would have me ready to race.  With his coaching and encouragement, I successfully completed 70.3 Memphis and Ironman Texas followed by a personal best at the NYC Marathon three weeks later.  I crossed every finish line feeling strong, happy and most of all injury free.  I look forward to many more successfully racing seasons under his training and guidance.”

“I first met Coach Will shortly after I had just completed my first sprint triathlon at age 49.  I figured trying to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kona was the biggest goal in triathlon. I really had no clue what that entailed, and I was a busy physician with a family and the usual obligations. I had no endurance background my having been a high jumper in college and a blackbelt in Taekwondo. Will laid out the plan, and all I had to do was stick to the plan and check off the green boxes. He took away all of the guesswork and it paid off. On my second attempt at the full distance IM in Maryland, I qualified for Kona coming in 3rd place in my AG at age 53—after just 3 1/2 years of training and working together. Since Kona has been postponed for 2 years now, my new goal has been adjusted—to be Coach’s first podium finisher at the Ironman World Championships. This has been a life changing endeavor for me to really look deep into the soul to see what I’m made of. It certainly hasn’t been easy, but it has been simple and fun. It doesn’t matter if your goal is to become a world champion, just to complete a triathlon, to have fun in training, or to just get fit, I am confident Coach Will and 4D can get you there!”

“Extreme conditions require being fully prepared for the task at hand.   We all need help.  Psalm 33:21  Thanks William!”

“Will Jones truly knows how to train your body to the 4th dimension. He tailored an intense fitness plan to help me reach my goals and exceed them. He is a personable and motivational trainer and includes new exercises to ensure my routine is always challenging my body. Will Jones is a fitness and nutrition master and comes with very high accolades from me.”

“I signed up with 4th Dimension Fitness at the beginning of 2011. Having no significant sports background and being very new to triathlon, I was seeking a coach who would work with me to improve my fitness and performance while also ensuring that I didn’t do anything that could result in serious injury. Additionally, being a husband, father and business owner, I needed a coach who would develop a customized training plan, be flexible when my schedule changes and make every training session count. I’m happy to say that Will has definitely risen to the challenge for me.

The biometric testing that Will performs ensures that the training program is appropriate for the athlete and helps him determine when/how to make adjustments to your program. This takes all the guesswork and uncertainty out of training. As the athlete, all you have to do is be prepared to work hard, follow the program, and provide feedback.

Without question, my performance at every race distance has steadily improved since joining 4D. I would have never imagined that I’d be capable of doing the things I’m doing today. The best part is, I know I have not reached a performance ceiling yet. With the help of 4D, I’m confident that most of my performance goals will be achieved.”

“Let me first say, if you’re on the fence in terms of using Will to train you… just go for it, you won’t regret it. I first approached Will in 2010 with a goal to finish my first Ironman (Florida) in 11 hours and 30 minutes; he did some research and testing and came back with a confident thumbs up. I did the work he detailed in my plan, he answered my questions promptly, he helped me through a minor injury and in the end, he sprinted alongside me, to a finishing time of 11 hours and 18 minutes.”
