Coaching and Training
Helping You Maximize Your Performance
You might be contemplating your first triathlon or duathlon or maybe you think it's time to take on an Ironman. The question is how do you prepare yourself with quality information to take you the next level? Since we are not professional coaches we have asked a group of coaches to help us get you the best advice in your training, health and fitness. We will continue to add new coaches to get more opinions on training. We will also provide links to all of these coaches should you wish to contact them yourself.
Please see the Clinics that are currently available.

These coaches have also generously donated coaching prizes in out Season Long Draw

Ignition Fitness offers three levels of triathlon, duathlon and running
coaching packages to suit any level of athlete competing at any
distance, and included in every Ignition Fitness coaching package is a
functional strength training component. Including functional strength
training as a regular part of your routine will help take your fitness
to a whole new level! The exercises we build into your program are
tailored to your specific strengths and weaknesses and focus on
sport-specific movements. These short, highly intense bursts will
increase your power, speed, stability and core strength, and play a
vital role in reducing your chance of injury. Along with coaching and

At NRG
Performance Training we combine science and experience to
optimize your performance. Head Coach Nigel Gray has over 8 years
of coaching experience and has been traveling around the world racing
as a Pro for the last 11years. To ensure the most effective training
program we use lactate testing to set out individualized heart rate
and power zones as well as monitoring performance improvements. These
zones are then incorporated into a program that is designed to have
your training fit into your lifestyle and not the other way around.
Our individualized programs will optimize your training time and
race performance whether you are a beginner or professional athlete.
At NRG Performance Training we believe in offering the highest level
of service and we believe the only way to accomplish this is by limiting
the number of athletes each coach will work with. Are you ready to
maximize your performance?
