Specialisations
We like working with people who are passionate about achieving their goals in road, track, trail/ultra running or triathletes wanting to improve their run leg. To achieve optimum results, we believe individualised programs are best so we specialise in this however we do offer group training for those who just want to come to a session or two each week. We also offer public/ motivational speaking for your next function and will put on a few events in the near future.
Training Schedule
Free group sessions for the month of June – every Saturday 6:30am. Contact Benita and Anthony for more information.
