““Rich has been absolutely critical to my success. From understanding the body’s responses to stress, to developing a high performance mindset particularly under challenging conditions - he has been an invaluable asset who has helped me reach my potential.. Without him, I do not believe I would have won my second world title. Couldn’t recommend working with Rich highly enough.””
““I have dealt with anxiety for most of my life. Richard’s workshops provided me with the insight to explore the power of the breath and cold water exposure. It has truly been life changing and is now an integral part of my health and well-being.””
“Training with Rich has changed my life for the better. I now incorporate his training into my daily routine and throughout my workouts. His prioritization of breathwork and building CO2 tolerance is dead on! My sleep, workouts, health and ability to deal stressful situations have all improved. I have some of my surf buddies and even my 13 year old Son practicing Rich’s breath training!”
“Hey Rich, I just wanted to say thanks for the breathing technique that you taught me a while ago. I am nervous when it comes to medical procedures and have just had the haematoma on my thigh aspirated. Thanks to the breathing technique I was able to keep myself calm and centered which made the procedure nearly painless.”
“Rich’s instruction of breathing drills is clear and the exercises progress in systematic way. Breathing’s effect on our physiology is often taken for granted during exercise and this is brought to the forefront in his workshops.”
“Rich’s knowledge and caring nature made for a really inspiring session. The breath work was amazing and helped, not only prepare us for the cold water immersion, but provided a valuable life skill in how to calm yourself in situations of stress.”
“I have done breathing workshops in the past, but nothing compares to the way Rich does it. From start to finish he makes you feel comfortable and the whole environment super fun. The knowledge he has and his passion for what he does makes it the best. Thankyou Rich. Can’t wait to do it again.”
“I was amazed at how much I learnt about myself and the human mind. Through Rich’s knowledge and calm guidance I was able to regulate my breathing and stay in without freaking it. Thank you Rich I am looking forward to learning more.”
“A great few hours spent at the Performance Breathing Masterclass. Very informative for both helping aerobic growth for workouts and healthy living in general. Thoroughly recommended for everyone and thanks to coach Rich Burrows for leading us through the nuances.”
“A big thank you to Rich Burrows and the other coaches, for letting me be a part of this amazing XPT life training workout today. Great coaching guy’s! I wont forget the amazing ice bath!”
“I must say I’ve been to several workshops and yours’ was one that really posed a lot of self discovery and has ignited a real interest in high performance. Keep doing what you do - it’s great!”
“I have attended both a corporate development session and ½ day practical course with Richard. He has a great skill in explaining concepts in an effective and relatable way. Equally he then re-enforced this through demonstration and experiencing this through our own practise. He has certainly helped me re-think how I approach life in relation to stress, resilience and high performance. His knowledge of breathing, the nervous system and how the mind works, with both of these systems, is an invaluable learning experience. ”
“I conquered my fear of the freezing cold and almost fully submerged in an ice bath. Thank you Rich for talking me through the breathing to keep my mind under control.”
“Rich is a fantastic facilitator and brought a depth of knowledge and helpful demonstration of the practice of performance breathing. The sessions were engaging, fun and enlightening and I am now much more mindful of my breathing, particularly at work, where I feel more in control of stressful situations. I strongly recommend these workshops which make an excellent team activity. ”
“Rich’s deep knowledge of the physiological processes of breathing and cold therapy is second to none. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and use the techniques Rich taught me everyday! The techniques have made me more calm and focused.”
“Going past what you assumed your limits to be is a powerful asset. I am finding I can push far beyond what I thought was possible for me. Thank you coach Richard Burrows for guiding me through all of the breathing techniques which assisted me with the ice bath! Your encouraging coaching throughout the session calmed any doubts and anxieties creeping in my mind!! Your knowledge is extraordinary.”
“Have done three workshops in a row with Rich now and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Rich shows so much care for every person that participates in his work and makes it extremely easy to relax and breathe through the ice. Thank you Rich and I can’t wait to do more!”
““I just did a breath & ice workshop with Rich this morning! It was amazing not only physically but mentally too. Rich supported me and guided me through the ice bath when I was feeling extremely challenged! Thankyou Rich and I can’t wait for the next one.”
“Rich’s excellent interpersonal skills allows him to tailor an exceptional program for people looking to expand their skill sets in breath and cold water/ ice immersion training. I use this intermittently in work and personal times to mitigate unwanted stress and deliver in presenting meetings.”
“Thank you again for the opportunity to learn from yesterday’s workshop, the power of our mind over our breath is amazing and it took me well outside my comfort zone. The Ice bath was something I have never experienced, and I can’t describe the sensation through my body afterwards. Well done to you & the team will recommend your workshop for sure.”
