Few words about us
About us
Developing people to unleash potential.
Get the most out of your training and achieve your full potential with Triathlonworkx coaching services delivered by highly skilled coaches.
Triathlonworkx offers a platform for people to perform within their chosen sport. We excel at offering coached group training and interweaving this social environment into your program. There is always a coach on hand to share advice, shout encouragement and ensure training remains fun.
At Triathlonworkx, by keeping it fun and social, exciting and affordable, people of all levels stick with the program, progress at their level and end up achieving their goal.
Coached sessions in swim, bike and run are facilitated in groups, providing a safe and motivating environment and encouraging a healthy competitive spirit.
How Does Our Coaching Work?
- Triathlonworkx coaching is a relationship, not a training plan! Whenever you have a question or general comments or suggestions, your coach is just an email or text message away. There's no limit to this communication.
- You will also have regular coaching calls (typically biweekly) with your coach, where you can discuss things in even greater detail.
- Your coach monitors all your training and workouts and comments, and this all goes into informing decisions for upcoming training or even changing the current training.
- Your training is adapted to your individual needs and goals, to your life outside of training (family, work, travel) and to how you respond to the training prescribed.
- Triathlonworkx coaches work with a limited number of athletes to be able to provide a lot of attention to each individual athlete.

I am a former professional triathlete, racing at two Commonwealth Games and multiple World and European Championships as a Junior, U23 and senior.
I won bronze in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, alongside World and European medals during my 7 year career as a professional. I retired aged 25 due to a health condition, and have since transitioned into coaching.
I have been in endurance sport for more than 15 years now and love the challenge of helping people go faster.
