Focus on your training and recovery and we'll take care of the rest. Whatever your competition and fitness goals are, time spent training with us will boost your performance

Our training camps are designed for:

  • cyclists entering events like the Étape du Tour and the Marmotte
  • triathletes preparing for Ironman, 70.3 and Olympic distance events
  • cyclists wanting to test themselves on the infamous climbs of the Tour de France

Clubs and groups can take advantage of our bespoke service to run a week or long weekend tailored exactly to your training needs.

The challenging training environment is ideal for athletes of all standards. Whether you're looking for a personal best and a spot in Hawaii or Clearwater or you want to achieve a lifelong goal of finishing an Ironman race or the Étape we have a training camp to suit your needs.

We'll make sure you train hard but also enjoy the process – we run triathlon training camps, not boot camps.

You'll train with a small group of between 8 and 10 guests. We deliberately keep groups small so that every athlete gets an excellent service.
