Triathlon Coaching

“Being on Team YogiTriathlete has transformed way more than my swim, although it has done wonders for my timed-100, I have found my people. Thanks coaches!” -Jen

Being on Team YogiTriathlete means that you will be held accountable and supported every step of the way. You will be challenged and encouraged to deepen your curiosity around what may be holding you back. And you will be a part of a very powerful community of athletes who move mountains on a daily basis.

Team YT athletes have contact with their coach through text, scheduled calls, and email. All athletes are encouraged to join Team YT’s Facebook community for BJ’s Monday morning live and weekly coaches chat on Fridays. Also, the team receives special offers through YT partnerships.
