IRONMAN/TRIATHLON COACHING STAFF

In our opinion, it's our staff of coaches that make us stand out. We all share a passion for helping others reach for and attain their goals—no matter what they might be.

Why is it so important to have qualified coaches? They can:

  • Evaluate your current fitness level and goals to make sure you are training at an appropriate level

  • Evaluate and suggest ways to improve your running form

  • Assist you if you need to adjust your training schedule, in the event of an injury or missed training due to travel or life in general

  • Motivate and challenge you to reach your goals in a smart, safe & effective manner
