our coaches
Our experienced, professional and enthusiastic coaches are here for you. We enjoy teaching and coaching others to set goals, enhance their lives and stay fit through athletics. We believe that achieving fitness goals can enhance the lives of everyone.
Teaching others life-time fitness activities & regular self-care can help lead to life-changing experiences and a positive self-image. By developing balance, setting goals and reaching those goals, we learn to de-stress, re-energize, & direct positive energy to those things in life that are part of our core.
As working parents and competitive athletes, we understand the need for balance. Through the basic principals of TRI RVA, we strive to make triathlon a do-able sport for busy people. Whether you are a wife, a husband, a partner, a mother, a father, a CEO or a stay at home parent, your happiness affects those people around you. If you take care of yourself then you are helping to make the world around you a happier and healthier place.
We celebrate our lives and our health each and every day and want to help you to do the same.
As coaches, we care about the success of each of our athletes and have a passion for continued learning in the sport.
