We signed our daughter up with a Fly Tri Coach and have absolutely loved it. He is very attentive to what she needs and where she needs to work harder. My daughter attended their summer camp and despite an injury to her ankle, the coaches still made camp enjoyable and she still got the work in.

My daughter attended their recent camp and loved it. Everyday she got in the car with something new she learned in the sessions at the gym, or how she can tweak her running style. She’s always been aware of what she eats but she is more strategic (in a good way) about how she fuels her body. She is ready to attend camp again next summer!
