Want one discipline rather than all three? We run single sport programs in swimming, cycling and running. Not in Melbourne? We write programs for interstate, overseas and regional athletes who cannot make coached sessions.
Weekly memberships are billed by direct debit and require the $99 Annual Membership first. There is no joining fee and no minimum term, though we recommend giving it twelve weeks. Prices in AUD.
ONLINE PROGRAMS
If you’re thinking that now is the perfect time to stay in touch with like-minded athletes, be connected during a time of increasing isolation and keep your mind and body healthy with some online training, then we have a great option for you.
It’s called GO SOLO – and provides athletes with programmed workouts and the opportunity to join virtual sessions, to still enable online, face-to-face communicate via a coach, in real-time. In your online program there will be:
- a daily flexibility program
- running sessions up 3 times per week
- riding sessions up to 3 times per week
- strength sessions 2-3 times per week
- dryland swimming 2-3 times per week
And what’s even better… 17 of these sessions are interactive with an option called, Go Virtual!
