ISince reaching out to Alex over a year ago, my ability within triathlon has gone from strength to strength. I was pretty much a complete newbie when Alex started coaching me; I’d only done one little duathlon and hadn’t yet done a triathlon race. With a  sporting background of playing and coaching tennis, I understood the importance of having a coach and wanted to give myself every chance of seeing how far I could push myself within triathlon. Fast forward to today and I’ve managed to get myself a good few podium places within all the races that I’ve competed in. 

A friend had recommended Alex so I sought him out. Straight away I was able to connect with Alex through his great communication, his knowledge of all things tri and and how he planned out all my sessions based around my time available, lifestyle and triathlon goals. It’s never been a ‘one programme prescribed to all’ approach with Alex; each session is aimed towards my next race and it’s all periodised which will help get me ready for race day. 

I do have quite a big vision of what I’d like to achieve within triathlon and one of the most important aspects from my perspective of having Alex as a coach, is that he is also 110% invested in my vision and prepared to help me get there. He gives me feedback on my sessions regarding performance alongside teaching me the ins and outs of triathlon as a sport. He’s created a great TriFit team who all support one another and really make you feel an integral part within each others journey. Alex communicates with you regularly regarding all things training - whether that be races that you should enter, how you feel after a session, nutrition or race tactics; his passion for triathlon shines through via his coaching and communication skills. Most importantly he genuinely cares about seeing his athletes do as well as they can come race day. 

Having Alex as my coach is a game changer and I’m loving the opportunity to learn and develop as an athlete under his guidance.
