Triathlon

Help your clients to go for gold! All across the UK and internationally the number of fitness fanatics taking part in triathlon and multi-sport events is on the rise. Lured by the eclectic range of events on offer and inspired by the positive impact of the Olympics, this trend is set to continue. 

Ensure you have the competitive edge in the marketplace by learning to train and support your clients through participation in triathlons (swim-bike-run) and other multi-sport events with YMCAfit Triathlon, endorsed by Triathlon England.

The course is aimed at personal trainers and gym instructors who wish to train sub-elite participants (beginners/improvers/intermediates). We focus on the fitness training facets of triathlon so you can improve the physical capability of your clients to withstand the demands of such a multi-sport event. This course will prove an enjoyable and rewarding addition to your PT toolkit and will help you to stand out from the crowd.
