EMG is committed to embracing the character, breathing the culture and igniting the love of a sport—the love of a lifestyle—we call Triathlon in each and every athlete. We truly believe that in this achievement lies the groundwork for further growth in all aspects of life, groundwork that teaches us to disobey the limits and to follow our dreams.

TEAM EMG

Based out of Kansas City, KS, TEAM EMG (Endurance Management Group) is a unique, coaching-based multisport club. Created and managed by Ben Schloegel, Jeffrey "Whitey" Whitecotton, and Josh Wolf, this organization is not just your typical multi-sport team that shows up on the weekend and competes. These coaches provide you with solid resources which enable you to excel in endurance sports. Their goal is to give you more than everything you need to reach your goal by customizing workout schedules and diets that are exclusive to your particular needs.

WHY EMG uses Myodurance

Hyalogic and Myodurance are proud sponsors and partners of TEAM EMG. Why does EMG use Myodurance? Well it's quite simple really; because it works. Every member of the ever-growing roster of TEAM EMG has noticed an increase in their training levels because they are able to sustain a high level of performance during training. This in turn has led to lower triathlon race times and higher placements in the rankings.

Sure, anyone can tell you how much they like or dislike a product. But when it comes down to it, numbers don't lie.
