Khalid breaking the marathon world record
The best thing that's happened to me during my running career was being able to be treated By Jim and Phil Wharton. Their stretching therapy has helped me recover faster from injuries and from my stressful training. With their therapy I am able to train better due to increases in my level of flexibility and strength. I have captured 2 World Record's in marathons (2h05:42/2h05:38) while in the care of Jim and Phil Wharton. This is a stretching technique that I will never stop receiving during my career.
- Khalid Khannouchi, Former Marathon World Record Holder
“While performing in films and training for marathons, I suffered disk herniations. I was a mess — pain, atrophy, weakness, numbness. Once Wharton Performance got their hands on me, I was right back on my feet. I was blown away by the knowledge, passion, and commitment that Jim and Phil have for what they do.”
—William Baldwin, actor
“I was certain that nothing was ever going to cure the pain in my neck and give me range of motion. Meeting with Phil Wharton was an absolute godsend. I have the utmost respect for the Whartons.”
—Barry K. Schwartz, founder of Calvin Klein, Inc., and current chairman of the New York Racing Association
“[The Whartons’] stretching and strengthening programs that take 15 to 20 minutes a day, cured my 5-year problems. I finally made the 2000 Olympics, injury-free, and broke 3 Irish records en route. This could not have been possible without the Wharton Performance team.”
—Mark Carroll, Irish national record holder in the 3,000 and 5,000 meter runs
“With the Whartons’ program, there’s no limit to what you want to do. You can improve as much as you want in the areas you’d like, and you can tailor the program specifically to your needs.”
—Chris Martin, former coach of the Great Britain national swim team and the U.S. Olympic and national swim teams, and coach of an Olympic gold medalist
“After three marathons in the past year, culminating in the Beijing Olympic Games, I was ready for a good break. Subsequently, after two weeks of not running I was in much need of some therapy. I spent a week with Tom Nohilly at the Wharton Performance Center going through their unique flexibility and strengthening techniques. I am now feeling ready for the hard training for my next marathon. Their method is simple, yet brilliant. Isolating the specific muscles used for my sport that are in much need of strengthening. I am confident that if I apply the techniques I have learned it will greatly increase the longevity of my career. I feel blessed to have the Whartons and everyone at the clinic as friends.”
— Ryan Hall, Marathoner and Olympian
