Welcome to summer!  Beginning at 6:30am on Friday, June 11, we will be holding coached swims at Chebacco Lake in Essex.  Each 4-week session is $32 per person and will cover sighting, endurance swim technique, buoy turns, mass starts, and drafting.  Wetsuits are recommended but not required.

Beginning at 6:30pm on Tuesday, June 15th we will start the first session of Summer Track.  The first week will be pace testing for those who did not participate in spring track or have recent 5k or 10k race results.  Track 60-75 minutes long and is held at the Hamilton-Wenham and Ipswich tracks.  The cost for each 4-week session is $52 for the public, and $45 for TriLife athletes.

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.

 The TriROK Foundation is a local nonprofit devoted to defeating childhood obesity by helping whole families get healthy and active through swimming, biking, and running.  Coach April is serving as the Foundation's Executive Director and TLC will be providing equipment and pro bono coaching services.  More on this amazing movement when the TriROK Foundation website launches in April, 2010.  Stay tuned!

TriLife Coaching has teamed up with Seaside Cycle and several excellent area coaches and facilities to provide services to the members of the newly formed Seaside Cycle Triathlon Club.  We needed a team with resources here on Cape Ann...and now we've got it!  To join and realize all the benefits, visit Seaside Cycle's website at www.seasidecycle.com. 

We'll be hitting local tracks for our Walk to Jog and Jog to Run classes beginning Saturday, April 10th.  Visit our Programs page for more information!

We are excited to announce that our popular Trainer Cycling Classes are moving to Seaside Cycle in Manchester!  This will allow us to have more participants while keep our personalized approach and cost-effective price point in place.  Thanks so much to Scott Bumpus and Seaside Cycle for this great opportunity!  For registration information, visit our Programs and Rates page or email Registration@TrainingMeetsTLC.com.
