Across our coaching careers.
We don't just send a plan. We teach you to train yourself.
A coach's real job isn't chasing one result at any cost — it's building a durable, injury-free training habit that lasts for years. The finishes come as a by-product of doing it right.
Habit over heroics
We build consistency without burnout or injury — the difference between a professional school and a plan off the internet. Your results are the side-effect.
Understand, don't just obey
You're not a computer to be programmed. We teach you why each session is built the way it is, so you learn to read your own body and adjust.
You become self-sufficient
Step by step, until you can say "I've got this." From there your coach is a mentor and training partner — not a set of orders.
Unlimited communication with your coach
Most online coaches ration you — a weekly WhatsApp message, a monthly review. We don't. Message your coach whenever you need to, and every single session you upload gets analysed — not just the key ones. On both Standard and Premium. That's the whole point of a coach you can't reach being no coach at all.
Them: monthly check-ins.Us: message anytime.
Two plans. Unlimited communication on both.
Priced up front, in rands — no "contact us for a quote." Every plan includes unlimited messaging with your coach and AI analysis of every session. Start today, pause any time.

AI reads every session. A human coaches you.
Your training lives on TrainingPeaks. Our AI analyses every single session — heart rate, power, pace, decoupling, form — and, if you wear your watch around the clock, your recovery between them too. It flags what needs attention, but it never writes your plan. Your coach does. AI counts; the coach decides.
TrainingPeaks
The #1 endurance platform in the world. Every session and metric in one place — synced automatically from your Garmin, watch or bike computer.
SportHub AI engine
Our own AI reads your data far deeper than any dashboard alone:
- Every session analysed — not just the key ones
- Recovery tracked between sessions — sleep, HRV and readiness (with a 24/7 wearable)
- Early warning on overtraining and injury risk
- Race-day pacing tuned to your real data
A coach with more time for you
The AI does the number-crunching, so your coach spends the time talking to you — reacting faster, catching problems sooner, and adapting the plan to how you're actually responding.
Coaches — and international officials.
We're World Triathlon-certified coaches who have also officiated at the Olympic and Paralympic Games — and we build athletes like you, fully online, from first race to IRONMAN.

Where are you based, and do you coach across South Africa?
We coach 100% online and serve athletes across South Africa and internationally. The time-zone overlap with Europe means fast replies during SA training hours.
