  • Do you only coach people in Perth, Australia?

No, we actually coach athletes like you from all around the world using our sophisticated online coaching service. This is a fully bespoke coaching program, tailored to your needs. We do offer "template programs" as well for those on more of a budget or requiring less coaching assistance.

  • When do you train?

We offer 19 weekly squad training sessions to cater for a wide range of abilities and at a range of times throughtout the week. Why not visit our full timetable for more information.

  • Are you a triathlon club?

At present, no, we're simply a triathlon training squad and as such you will not need to complete a membership form to train with us, nor pay a yearly fee. Eventually we may become a fully-fledged triathlon club, but for now we welcome athletes from all over the Perth Metro area, many of whom train with us but race with their own clubs.

  • What squad coaching options do you have?

We have the choice of two squad coaching options, either Pay As You Go with a pre-paid PAYG Payment Session Card (in 10, 25 or 50 session denominations), or our all-inclusive seasonal training program for those seeking cost-effective training sessions whilst preparing for a goal event. Neither of these options require a membership fee to join The TEAM CORE.

  • How do I sign up?

You can either download our registration form and simply bring it along to one of our many training sessions where your payment will be collected and a PAYG card (10, 25 or 50) issued, or you can register and pay online and we'll have a card ready and waiting for your collection.

  • How much do your coaching services cost?

We offer premium coaching services at realistic prices - click here to to see our full price.

  • Are you just for "hard-core" triathlon-types?

We have a range of different squad coaching options to cater for a variety of abilities. If you are struggling a little bit with your swimming, why not make use of our excellent Time:4:Me Swim Technique class held 3 times per week.

  • What about 1-2-1 Coaching?

Our 1-2-1 Video Analysis and Swim Stroke Correction session is both our premium coaching service and where we really excel. If you need some detailed work on your technique and want to finally move forward with your swimming you should sign up for one of these sessions without delay!

  • Do you offer online coaching services?

Absolutely! The best in the business! What you get with The TEAM CORE's online coaching service is premium bespoke coaching tailored to your needs at reasonable prices. And if you can't quite push to our full online coaching service, why not purchase one of our many triathlon training program templates.

  • Do you know anything about training with new technology, i.e. power meters, running footpods?

We have invested a great deal of time, effort and energy into ensuring that we are "well ahead of the 8-ball" when it comes to coaching with some of the new technologies available to you as an athlete, i.e. power meters, running footpods etc. In order to make the very most out of your online coaching with The TEAM CORE, we cannot recommend the purchase of a heart rate monitor, power meter and running footpod / GPS highly enough!

  • How do I get in touch?

Hopefully we have answered the majority of your queries either here in our Frequently Asked Questions section or throughout our comprehensive website, but if there is more that you need to know or you'd like to discuss getting involved with The TEAM CORE in some capacity, then feel free to get in touch.
