We have two training options:
For those with gym access or a home gym, our gym strength performance programme support is for you. It requires you to have access to a suitable resistance band (i.e. purple), sufficient plate weight for your ability, a barbell, gym rings/TRX bands, foam/rubber roller, suitable kettle weight or a trap bar (that’s it).
However, for those of you without either, we have a second introduction strength performance programme, where no equipment is needed. This runs for a limited 12 week period, whereby after you then go into the programme above (strength performance programme support) as it will be required to ensure you can progressively continue to develop your body, which will require the basic kit outlined above. However, you will have the time to either collect this basic equipment list, or select a gym you want to access to perform this next stage.

Yes, the gym strength performance programme can be performed at home, as long as you have the basic kit noted in the FAQ question above this. And the introduction strength performance programme can be performed at home as it requires no equipment but will require after 12 weeks to acquire the basic kit outlined in the FAQ question above.

Absolutely, the specificity to suit your ability is tailored by you adjusting the resistance/load you use to your exact ability.

Equally as the demands of triathlon from a strength and conditioning perspective remain similar despite ability or event length, the triathlete training platform is suitable for all abilities and course lengths.

If you currently have an injury that is not enabling you to train, we advise first getting ‘in person’ professional advice from a medical professional (e.g. physio).
However, if you only have minor niggles which are not limiting your ability to train in your swim, bike and run at your desired intensity, volume and frequency (e.g. stiff back, shoulder ache) then there is no reason why you should not start with us. However any uncertainties, always consult a medical professional.
Our training programme is developed to consider common injury and niggles many of us can have, however we cannot be liable for any injuries. You take total responsibility for training and specifically the execution of this, and we cannot be responsible for how you execute both training with us and other elements of your triathlon training.

As with any physical quality like aerobic fitness, strength and power need to be consistently trained each week.
If you stop, your body will detrain and the benefits lost. So exactly like with your swim, bike and run training, our support and the programme continue with no definitive end period. The exception is the introduction strength performance programme which is 12 weeks, however the purpose of this is to then immediately go into the gym strength performance programme, which is on going and has no end period to keep you developing and improving for your triathlon performance.
