“Coach Tommy brings together data, passion, and personalization you don’t see with most coaches. His tailored approach took my racing to the next level and helped me earn a spot at the 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships. He pushes and inspires you to be your best – on and off the course. :)”

“My Triathlon Training/Journey began in June 2024. I had running experience as I always excelled at it throughout my young adult life. However nutrition, swimming and cycling, I truly underestimated! I joined Sport Speed Lab immediately to begin my swimming lessons. I can easily recall my 1st swim class, I was only able to swim 25 yards non stop, sadly feeling like I was dying and out of breath – I left my 1st swim class deflated and defeated, but promised myself I would not give up. I got my bike fitting with Sport Speed Lab w/ Tommy Johnson, which was highly recommended by my Tri club FTC – I am very grateful for that experience. As my training continued, I felt so many times that I was not going to be able to get the swimming down, but hearing my instructors: Kristen & Tommy, continually tell me, keep coming back and that I was getting better – was the flame to my torch. Consistency & discipline were key and along being receptive to the constructive criticism given along the way. In less than 10 months I was on my way to completing my first I.M. 70.3 (Galveston) and I.M. 140.6 Texas, in The Woodlands. My experience and new life style has reshaped me and my HOME. My wife is now doing triathlons, along with my 5 year old daughter, Bita. My wife is taking swim classes with Sports Speed Lab as well. Both (wife and daughter) will be competing in their first triathlon races here in the upcoming weeks. Crossing that I.M. finish line on April 26th less than a year into my training and seeing my family join me and growing in this sport has been Epic & Monumental. This experience has shown me that “Anything Is Possible”. Thank you Sports Speed Lab, FTC and above all my Lord Jesus Christ!”

“May 2020, COVID lockdowns were in full effect and I was covertly cycling with a small group when in a moment of not paying attention, I found myself lying on the pavement with what turned out to be a torn labrum in my right hip. Unable to exercise, painful to walk and COVID lockdowns making it difficult to get treatment. Fast forward to January 2021, I had put on 20 pounds, miserably out of shape and a hip that had just been repaired. Twelve weeks of physical therapy had just started, and a cycling friend told me that he was going to train up and ride the Triple Bypass in August and my motivation kicked in. After receiving the go ahead from my doctor, we hired Coach Tommy Johnson and started training April 1, 2021. Overweight, out of shape and coming off hip surgery, Coach Tommy had an undertaking, but his confidence never wavered. He helped me with diet, eased me back into training while rehabbing my hip, always encouraging and always reassuring that I’d reach my goal of finishing. Fast forward to August 2021 and this Texas flat lander had lost 40 pounds, cycled 3 mountain passes, climbed over 10,000 vertical feet of elevation and ridden 108 miles to cross the finish line. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and Coach Tommy guided me through the journey. Thank You!!!”

“Tommy is a well of knowledge about all things triathlon and bike fits. I had the privilege of being coached by Tommy as I trained for the IMWC and his training plans helped me reach new heights. Additionally, Tommy’s knowledge on bike fits is unmatched. I can’t recommend him and Sport Speed Lab enough to anyone lookin to get fitter, faster, and grow in their love of sport!”

“As a triathlete of 7 years (all distances), I had begun to accept the aches and pains as part of cycling – Until I got a professional bike fit at Sport Speed Lab! Tommy was incredibly precise and detailed about every adjustment, making sure it was tailored to my specific needs, goals, and my body, and he took the time to explain and educate me along the way. Now I am able to ride longer distances pain free, and my experience with Sport Speed Lab has made me fall in love with cycling even more! Super grateful and highly recommend Tommy / Sport Speed Lab to all athletes and all levels!”

“I had a bike fitting with Becky and couldn’t be happier! She is a Physical Therapist, Triathlon Coach, and Athlete and really notices all the details and understands how to make the bike fit to each of our unique bodies/flexibilities/sizes. She made so many adjustments to my bike that I didn’t even know I needed, even after riding my bike for almost a year! She changed my seat, moved me up and back, adjusted my handle bars and marked everything to make it easier to put back correctly if things move. I also got a digital document with all the findings/adjustments and measurements. She looked at my shoes, adjusted my cleats and made sure my aero bars were set up well. Very, very happy with her and the lab! I have riden several of times since then and really notice the difference and improved comfort and power.”

“Coach Kristen has taken my performance to the next level. Before I started with her, I was floundering in the middle of the pack using online training plans. For the last two years, Kristen’s personalized training plans have targeted my specific areas of improvement. I have a busy work schedule; her customized scheduling maximizes my progress within my limited available training time. She provides high quality feedback and adjustments during training blocks to keep me progressing while balancing life. In addition, a few of her in-person swim sessions improved my swim significantly. I led a local triathlon after the swim for the first time this year. And I just delivered a huge personal best (4:48 for a 100 mile bike race) at my key race of the season. Her quality, specific coaching makes training efficient and effective. Shoutout to Tommy for his excellent bike fits – he’s fit our whole family of bikes and helps make these performances possible.”

“If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I’ve been working with Kristen for almost a year now and feel like I have a new best friend in my corner. I am training for triathlons, but she has helped me work through so much more: perimenopause, stress management, injury accommodation, and more. She treats me like a whole person – imagine that! Individual training is worth EVERY PENNY. It will seriously change your life to work with the coaches here. Their holistic approach is unmatched and I’ll be a client as long as I am able.”

“Tommy is the best and only Ironman Triathlon Coach you need. I had done some local triathlons on my own but had no idea how to train for a full distance Ironman 140.6. Tommy helped me pick out the perfect tri bike and then fit the bike to me perfectly, how to properly train for all 3 disciplines (without getting injured or burned out), and the nutrition aspect that goes along with running a race that is 12+ hours long. Tommy and I always had scheduled calls to go over how I was feeling and to help answer the endless questions I had that comes with training for a triathlon like this. There is no way I would have achieved my goal time or even finished the race without the programming and guidance from Tommy. Forever grateful for Tommy for enabling me to acheive a life long goal of mine.”

“Tommy is super knowledgeable and helped me dial in the fit of my road bike today. I have been wanting to get a pro bike fit for a long time and am very happy that it was with him. I found it super helpful for him to identify areas where my position on the bike could be improved and then make on the fly component part changes and then validate the improvement. Amazing. Highly recommend. I know this will make a huge improvement in my position on the bike. Thanks Tommy!”

“Coach Kristen Thomas is coaching me for an Ironman race. There are many things I like about the way she coaches me: She has regularly scheduled zoom calls, sharing her screen to review my workout results and talk through future workouts; she holds me accountable on pushing past my comfort zone; she’s great at helping me realize my struggles are normal and provide me with videos that show me how to do something and she listens and promptly responds to questions I have throughout the week. My workouts truly are base building so they aren’t hard all the time. I actually get to do long bike rides that are enjoyable. She provides resources so you don’t feel like you have to do all the training alone. For example she suggested a couple of bike clubs I can ride with to help build my confidence. She set it up so I would meet up with someone I knew for the first ride instead of showing up someplace I’ve never been and riding with people I’ve never met. Doing this made it so comfortable for me and now I’m riding regularly with some great folks. Another plus is Coach Kristen is very knowledgeable, you can tell working with her that she has lots of experience. Because of Coach Kristen I’m enjoying my training again and feeling very confident I will achieve my goal. Thank you Coach Kristen!”

“I have been working with coach Kristen on my swim for a couple of years. I went from someone would could barely make the cutoff time in a 1/2 or full IM and be completely spent with nothing left for the rest of the race to a front of the middle pack swimmer who treats the swim as just a warm up for the rest of the race. I’ve gone from entering a T1 that was completely empty of bikes and people to now entering a T1 that is completely packed with bikes. That feeling is amazing. This improvement is absolutely from the coaching. I was swimming just as hard and often for a couple of years before using Coach Kristen as I do now so it was not improved effort on my part, it was improved knowledge and technique given to me through great coaching.”

“If you’re into endurance sports and someone brand new. Tommy is the man with the plan. Either you’re looking to reduce the pain from a bad bike fit, coaching due to overuse injuries from training, VO2 testing to analyzing proper training zones or someone who previous career was analyzing data (Tommy is a former engineer). Tommy does it all, but most importantly he doesn’t forget that the journey is the destination. It’s the process that he loves and shares to his athletes and clients that’s makes him one of the best coaches and bike fitters in the DFW.”

“I have to say thank you to Becky Kaye for helping me out with my pre-and post bike fits. You took awesome care of me throughout both visits, and I cannot thank you enough. Your expertise and advice was spot on, and the suggestions you made around lowering my seat and raising my stem along with the changes in my pedal stroke, have made a world of difference. I feel stronger in the saddle and much more comfortable on long rides. I have to confess that after I receive my bike and we had the post bike fit, I was a little concerned about the changes we made. In my mind, I never would’ve imagined lowering my seat as much as we did or raising my stem to the height we settled with. But your advice…just have to say, you know your stuff! I remember you saying, “give it a couple of rides, and don’t push too hard, then you’ll feel the difference”. Well, I took your advice and by the second ride, I felt totally dialed in and ready to crush the competition. Ever since then, I’ve been speaking your praise to friends who ask me about my bike fit experience. I hope that some of those guys have reached out to you and you’re able to help them understand how a true bike fit really works. Much appreciated and best of luck to you and the team. Thank you!”

“I did the medical bike fit with Becky. I was unsure about whether to do a regular fit or medical, but she was so thorough in helping me to evaluate some knee concerns I’ve had and her knowledge of how different things are impacting my ride was really insightful. I felt really comfortable throughout the process and appreciated the time she took to really listen and make this personalized to my needs. Also found that the whole team was very responsive through email. Very good experience!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Sport Speed Lab and the incredible team — Tommy, Becky, and Kristen. They have been instrumental in helping me prepare for my first Half Ironman. From day one, they took a comprehensive approach to my training and performance.

I’ve done both running and cycling VO₂ max testing with them, and the data and guidance have been game-changing. Their swim training has improved my efficiency and confidence in the water. They’ve also completed Functional Movement Screening and running biomechanics analysis — identifying areas for improvement that I never knew were holding me back.

On top of that, they’ve done professional bike fits on BOTH of my bikes and the difference in comfort and power has been amazing.

Sport Speed Lab isn’t just a training center — it’s a team of experts who truly care about helping you reach your goals. If you’re training for triathlon, or just want to become a better and healthier athlete, this is the place to go. Thanks to the whole crew for helping me get ready to crush my first 70.3!”

“After taking a ten-year break from Triathlon, I was in need of a swim coach, I found Kristen Thomas. After working with Kristen in the pool, I decided to sign up for her monthly triathlon coaching. I am a busy executive, and she worked with me to customize a training plan that worked with my crazy travel schedule. In 2025 I have successfully completed IM Waco 70 and my ultimate goal, I completed IM Arizona 140. I couldn’t have achieved this goal without the coaching of Kristen Thomas. Anyone looking for a great coach, I highly recommend Kristen and her team!

In addition, I worked with Becky Kaye on a bike fit, she took her time to do detailed set up and the results were outstanding, the riding position is great. We did a 60 day follow up to make a few adjustments.”

“Tommy was an excellent fitter and incredibly knowledgeable about triathlon and aero positioning. He spent around two hours with me to ensure everything was dialed in perfectly for my upcoming 70.3. I’m extremely happy with the fit and the overall experience. I would highly recommend getting a fit with Tommy at Sport Speed Lab. Outstanding customer service and expert-level fitting knowledge.”

“I am writing this review to share my outstanding experience at Sort Speed Lab and to recognize the incredible work of my two physical therapists, Becky and Kristen.

This year, I decided to take up running as a new hobby. For most of my adult life, I have struggled with persistent hip pain—whether I was running or simply lying in bed. After completing the run analysis with Becky and Kristen, they provided detailed feedback on areas I needed to work on and recommended specific stretches and exercises, along with a follow-up plan to return in six weeks.

Their assessment and recommendations were spot on. For the first time in a very long time, I am able to sleep comfortably on both my right and left sides without hip pain. The exercises and stretches they prescribed have made a significant difference, and I have also seen a dramatic improvement in my running form. My efficiency has increased, my times have improved, and I am now able to run with far less pain.

As a result of their guidance and support, I have completed multiple ultramarathons this year—something I never thought would be possible—and I am now looking ahead to 2026, when I plan to run my first 100-mile ultramarthon.

Becky and Kristen are knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in their patients’ success. I am incredibly grateful for their expertise and care, and I highly recommend Speed Lab to anyone looking to improve performance, reduce pain, and achieve long-term results.

Thank you, Becky and Kristen, for everything you do.”

“Did a triathlon bike fit with Becky this past weekend. I have had more bike fits in my life than I can count and this was hands down, the very best fit I have ever had!! Becky is a true professional without the BS ego of many others in the business. Every detail was checked with the latest technology and finalized with Retul specs. She fit my cycling shoes with amazing insoles molded to my feet. We made some great aero changes to my bike and the bonus is I can come back for more aggressive aero position as my body adjusts. Thank you Becky!!”
