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.
