Jimmy with Olympic champion Tim Brabants and James Witt, editor of 220 Magazine.
Our team has been set up for anyone who has been involved with VO2 Maximum. Our members come to us for coaching advice to enable them to train efficiently with the time they have available. The team provides an identity and community for those athletes who do not have a local club or if they cannot regularly attend a club.
As triathlon coaches we work closely with our athletes and want them to be supported as much as possible and with the team we can offer that support. Support is given in a variety of ways with regular coaching or by attending our training camps but we also encourage our team to enter some events together and get together for our social bike rides. We hope the team we have created generates unity, friendship and support to athletes of any ability.
I hadn't been active since leaving school, I am now middle aged. I wanted to get fit but didn't want to go to gyms and needed a goal to train towards. I decided to train for the London Triathlon and after a few week's of training and reading triathlon magazines realized I wanted to do things as best as I could but fitting it in to my busy lifestyle was going to be difficult. I wanted a trainer who would meet me and not just train me on the Internet which I was finding with alot of triathlon coaches. A friend told me about Jimmy and gave me his website. I contacted him and the rest is history. He has helped me fit training in and around my lifestyle, which involves alot of traveling. We have regular communication and meet as often as my schedule lets me. Every session is quality and I have seen fast improvements in my fitness, strength and completed London on a very hot day with a time I was really pleased with. The flexible approach Jimmy has adopted to coach me means that my training is acheivable with my lifestyle.
