Fantastic intro to open water swimming. Absolutely recommend and will definitely be seeing if we can do the midnight swim. Many thanks Neil and Mel.

Melissa
As a newbie to triathlon I had no idea where to start for an Ironman-distance event. Neil reassured me, scheduled manageable yet progressive training sessions and coached me through my first triathlon (which, incidentally, I qualified for GB Age Group) and on then to smash through all targets I’d ever dared to dream of for my very first long distance triathlon. I would not have been able to do either of these without his advice and expertise and for this I will be eternally grateful; thank you. More...

Fantastic experience working with Neil. Vast amount of technical knowledge matched to the ability to work with you the individual, so you develop not just your performance but understanding of the sport and how to get the most from training. It helps that he’s a great bloke too! Highly recommended!! More...

Thanks Aidan. You’re a joy to coach.
What do you love most about your job?
When an athlete achieves more than they thought possible, such as their first park run, first triathlon, qualifying for the GB team or winning a medal at a major championship.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I coached successfully at clubs including helping a club become national champions. Members asked for one to one coaching so I decided to help them. After success with a few members it seemed the natural progression to help more athletes from outside the club.
Why should our clients choose you?
Unlike many coaches, I am fully qualified, insured, experienced and have had many years of successfully helping athletes. Coaching isn't just about writing programs, it's about understanding and communicating with people. I have had great success with athletes of all abilities. One of the biggest reasons, is the supportive and fun group I have pulled together which makes training enjoyable.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide online coaching via TrainingPeaks and all strength and conditionings come with a detailed video and instructions.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have tried to keep most one to one personal sessions outdoors in order to reduce Covid risk. All sessions are risk assessed.
