49. Training Block | Chelsey Palmer

“Our mission has always been to give athletes better access to quality services that they need for training,” explains Chelsey Palmer, Founder of Training Block. After her husband started experiencing chronic knee issues from running, Chelsey wondered if there was a place for people to gain easy access to sports injury help. Now, she has created an online platform where endurance athletes can access the resources they need to heal.

Sports injuries may happen whether you’re an athlete or just starting your fitness journey. At some point, you may need access to physical therapists, chiropractors, nutritionists, or more, and finding effective practitioners may be challenging to find on your own. To simplify this process, Training Block provides information on highly vetted professionals who advocate for their clients both as athletes and as people. Since sports is a way of life, Chelsey has made it her mission to provide the resources needed for athletes to succeed.

When you’re an athlete in training, having access to practitioners is critical. Learn more about Chelsey’s inspiration for Training Block, her husband’s experience with chiropractors, and her goals for the future of her business.
