Whether you are an aspiring triathlete, or an athlete who is in training for a half (70.3), or full Ironman, the TRI-Fit programme can help you achieve your goal.
Triathlons are becoming increasingly popular as people enjoy the diversity and challenge of training and competing in 3 disciplines. Inspired by this trend, the SSISA has developed a range of programmes to help triathletes train in a professional and scientific environment – and have lots of fun while doing it.

Read what past TRI-Fit members have said about Tri-Fit:
“I certainly wasn’t the fastest in the programme and am not going to win any Triathlon event any time soon but I have found a new sport that has inspired me to push myself harder. This programme has shown me that I can do things that I never believed I would and given me the confidence to keep on chipping away at my fears” – Victoria Hawkins (30 years old)
