Meet Coach Chris: Your Personal Guide to Success 🏅
With over 20 years of experience in coaching and teaching, and as a qualified sports scientist, swimming teacher and level 3 triathlon coach, I’ve helped athletes reach their full potential worldwide.
From being a lifeguard at 19 to racing in Ironman events, I’ve been where you are. In 2009, I weighed nearly 235 lb (107 kg) and fell in love with triathlon. Now, I’m here to help you, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned athlete.
Why Choose Coach Chris?
- Evidence-Based Coaching: Combining practical experiences with a master’s degree in exercise physiology, I’m always looking at ways to improve performance, which works in the real world.
- Maximising Training Time: Having been in a full-time job working shifts working as a retained firefighter and having a young family, I understand the importance of training with time constraints.
- Quick Improvements: I really thrive on finding and boosting areas for improvement using a simple approach to quick wins where possible to limit your time spent away from family, friends and work.

Our plans cater to all levels, specifically for our beginner plans; all you need is the ability to swim for at least 5 minutes non-stop, cycle for about 30 minutes, and run for 15-20 minutes.
We know life can be a juggling act, especially when trying to fit training into a busy work week.
That’s why we carefully plan your training to strike the right balance between work and recovery. Our workouts are crafted to fit around your typical week, but we also give you the flexibility to move things around. With Premium TrainingPeaks, you can drag and drop workouts to different days.
Just a heads up, though – be mindful not to cram too many tough workouts into just a few days. We don’t want you feeling over-tired or risking injury. Your success is our priority, and we’re here to ensure your training complements your life, not complicates it!
