BRIAN LOEFFLER
I am a licensed physical therapist and I have been practicing in the field of orthopedics and sports medicine for over fifteen years. I have always had a passion for sports and fitness. Growing up I played hockey, baseball, soccer, and football and later in life fell in love with running and triathlon. I am an avid alpine skier and I have competed in marathons, triathlons and adventure races and continue to play hockey all of which drive me to stay healthy and fit. I enjoy being in the mountains and have found adventure racing to be the perfect test of endurance and outdoor skills that has led me off of the beaten path into some amazing places.
I grew up in Vermont but spent ten years in Boston where I attended physical therapy school at Northeastern University and learned the art of physical therapy in arguably the best medical community in the world. I returned to Vermont in 2001 and founded ON TRACK with my wife Kim. I am happy to be home where I can enjoy all of the lifestyle opportunities Vermont has to offer and share my passion with others.

Running has always been a passion of mine. I started running in the 7th grade and went on to run cross country and track for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. After college, I moved to Boston to pursue a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology. My competitive drive never faded and I eventually caught the Ironman bug. I spent the past ten years racing as a Professional Triathlete. My career highlights include a top U.S. finish and 8th place overall at the Ironman World Championships, two U.S. Ironman National Championship titles, a 70.3 National Championship title and a combined ten Ironman podium finishes.
In 2013, I retired from Professional racing and began a new chapter in my life as a new Mom, high school cross country coach and running and triathlon coach. My goal is to share my knowledge and experience, inspire others and help them realize that with determination and discipline, anything is possible.
