Coaching Model
Coaching isn’t just for elite athletes – it’s for anyone looking to improve, regardless of experience level. We work with each athlete individually, creating a personalized training plan that aligns with their unique goals, lifestyle, and current abilities. When it comes to fitness training and racing, we are big believers in three tenants: Consistency, Enjoyment and Partnership, not just results.
Bespoke coaching goes beyond structured workouts; it’s about supporting the whole person. From managing nerves and building the right mindset to guiding nutrition, sleep, recovery, and stress, we tailor every aspect to suit the individual.
Your training should fit into your life – not take it over. That’s why we help athletes choose realistic goals and races based on the time and energy they can commit, ensuring their plan is both effective and sustainable.

Our 1-to-1 Coaching Approach is expertly tailored for those who:
– Want to commit to regular sports training for lifestyle gains?
– Improve a Personal Best performance?
– Improve your Triathlon or individual Multisport (Swim, Bike, Run) times?
– Achieve GBR Age Group or Elite Representation?
– Take on a specific Endurance Event ‘Grand Challenge’?

Our coaching is for anyone ready to commit, trust the process, and benefit from the years of experience Coach Paul and his Partners bring to the sport. Using the most complete, best-of-breed TrainingPeaks platform, we deliver structured, personalised training that goes beyond just physical performance – focusing also on mindset, recovery, and overall well-being.
Whether you’re a complete beginner seeking fitness improvements, a full-time athlete, age grouper, or simply seeking expert guidance and structure, our adaptable coaching meets you where you are and supports your individual goals.
How it Works?
At 123-Tri Club we centre all our 1-to-1 coaching endeavours on a single, premium athlete-centred approach designed to give you everything you need to achieve success and save time doing it. We DO NOT provide tier membership packages, but listen to your personal athlete needs before proposing a unique and tailored approach for YOU and YOU ALONE.
Our Coach-to-Athlete ratios are highly restricted so the quality and responsiveness of our support delivery and service is always the very best for you. Athletes are kept on track with powerful performance dashboards, easy-to-understand compliance scores, feed notifications, in-workout commenting, and so much more.
We are based near Exeter in the United Kingdom, working with a number of local partners, but do support athletes nationally.
