"WE DO NOT RISE TO THE THE LEVEL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS; WE FALL TO THE LEVEL OF OUR TRAINING"
ABOUT US
Headed by British Triathlon coaches and ex Age Groupers Juliet Wallace-Mason and Paul Gardner we are about passion in triathlon; athlete focus and creating an environment where we and our athletes can personally excel - doing what we love, in the time we have, with the work life balance we want. We know that not all athletes have the same goals, but our approach is geared for all, to make the best of what you've got, and maybe show you that's more than you think
We understand what it takes to achieve your potential, goals and personal bests. We train scientifically, personalised, measurably and with spirit. We love to race; it is one of the reasons we train. Our race team are friends, confidants, competitors, supporters and better athletes for it.
We work with self-motivated athletes, from sprint to Ironman distance, the youngest is 17 and the oldest is 67; no matter our achievements we never forget our humble beginnings
