Whether you are a beginner training for your first sprit triathlon or a competitive age grouper looking to qualify for KONA; a triathlon specific strength and conditioning program is essential to improve sport-specific mechanics, race day performance, and injury resistance.

Athletes who score between 6-9; BR coaches advice to proceed with our AGE GROUPER program. Athletes training load will be specific and guided; however, compared to our Advanced program, movement complexity will be adjusted to remove any risk of injury.
