Welcome to TriLife Coaching!

We specialize in one-on-one and small-group athlete development in the sports of running, cycling, swimming, and triathlon.

We train:

  • "Adult-onset athletes" who are just getting involved in sport for the first time
  • Athletes with sport-specific phobias such as open-water swimming or pack-riding
  • Age-group athletes who want to challenge themselves and take their performance to the next level

 We provide:

  • Safe, structured, supportive opportunities for performance improvement and skill acquisition
  • Small classes and group workouts to motivate and build camaraderie among athletes
  • Effective, flexible, personalized training plans and clinics to meet the needs of any athlete and budget 

In contrast to many online coaching services, we believe that one-size coaching does NOT fit all.  Our philosophy is that the athlete should drive the training approach - not the other way around!

As the founder and head coach of TLC, April Bowling draws on her deep competitive experience, USA Triathlon, USA Cycling, and Iyangar Yoga certifications, and years coaching Team TriROK (Tri Racing for Our Kids) to give her athletes superb, personalized coaching and classes.  She also incorporates the services of a tested Performance Team, including several expert, certified associate coaches, to ensure that her athletes get all the attention they need and deserve.

                      

If you need help becoming the best athete you can be...call us for a little TLC!

TLC is now offering Metabolic Testing through Seaside Cycle! - Thursday, June 03, 2010

Metabolic testing provides athletes and those wishing to improve their body composition with the precise number of calories their bodies need to function and look their best in life, training, and racing.  Have you used standard formula to calculate your caloric needs for weight loss and been frustrated that your body composition never seems to change?  Ever wondered exactly how many calories you need to take in during the course of a half-marathon or Ironman?  Want to know exactly where your functional threshold is?  Wish you knew your VO2Max?  Metabolic testing can answer all those questions and more.  For more information visit our Programs and Services page.
