  Triathlon Training Program (TTP)  
  Further Details  
     
  • Unlimited drop-in’s to other/additional TTP studio classes (if there is a bike available)  
  Come to the start of a class and if there is a bike free, it's yours.  Last season there were only 4 occasions when riders did not get a bike.  We publish attendance on the message board so you can get a feel for which class times have the best availability.  
  • Periodized training program on the bike that builds your endurance, power, strength, speed and skill.  
  It's a carefully planned progression that builds all important systems leaving you fitter than ever.  
  • Lemond Revmaster spin bikes, the smoothest and most comfortable spin bike you've every rode.

  • Muscular strength training program which is periodized to increase your power and keep you injury free.  
  We start with basic, static dumbbell exercises then change our routine each month slowly adding more compound and destabilized exercises to prepare you for sport.  Our equipment includes dumbbells, BOSUs, chin up bar, TRX, exercise balls, exer-bands, rollers and more.  
  • VASA Swim Trainer and PowerCranks equipped bike to help you develop your technique and strength.  
  You'll be shown how to use the VASA and have regular opportunities to do a set to build your swim power.
Power Cranks force you to build balanced pedal technique and power.  It will help you running too.
 
  • Flexibility program to enhance your range of motion and keep you injury free.  
  From our early focus on gaining flexibility we always add a flexibility element to ensure that you remain loose and flexible to allow you to achieve ideal range of motion and avoid injuries.  
  • PowerPoint talks or videos each week to educate and entertain  
  Our talks include the following: fat burning, building endurance, monitoring intensity, program planning, hydration, fueling, equipment and even the history of triathlon.  
  • Regular evaluations of your bike fitness on our computerized testing bike.  
  We carefully chose the Lemond G-Force to serve as our evaluation bike.  You will have the opportunity to regularly to a self-test on the bike to quantify your fantastic gains in fitness.  Watch your heart rate go down and your power go up each month.  Nothing motivates like results!  
  • Dynamic bike fit to ensure your own bike is correctly adjusted for your body.  
  You will have the opportunity to bring your bike in to class and have the OTC Coach perform a bike fit for you.  We'll check and adjust your bike to ensure you are in the most comfortable and efficient position possible.  
  • Run Assessment on our treadmill to analyse your technique and efficiency.  
  Our coach will watch you run on the treadmill and analyse your cadence, footstrike, stride length, posture, arm carriage and more.  
  • Coached Track Workout each week in spring and summer  
  We'll meet at the track for weekly coached workout to build our running technique and speed.  
  • Coached Outdoor Bike Workouts in spring and summer.  
  Our coaches will guide members through skills such as cornering, braking, descending, climbing, gear changing and more.  Groups will then divide up based on pace and get in some fantastic rides.  
  • Unlimited email questions to the OTC Head Coach.  
  It's simple: got a question?  Email the Head Coach.
