John has been my coach for nearly 15 years, and he has taken me from a young 1500m runner to an Olympic marathon runner. His approach to training has a solid backing from many years of coaching and also his own experience as an elite athlete.
On top of this, John’s sense of commitment to his athletes as well as patience and support (both on and off the field) is unwavering.
John has been a key part of my success as an athlete and I would not have achieved my Olympic dream without him!

I found Brendan’s advice to be beneficial although I never actually met with him in person! His guidance allowed me to focus on specific training in the last 6 weeks or so which allowed me to complete the event [The Taupo 2011 Ironman] comfortably in 11.26, half an hour ahead of my 12 hour goal….despite the crap conditions!

Introducing Brendon!
Brendon Downey
Professional Tri and Ironman CoachIf you’re looking for the best coaching look no further. Brendon is the coach that other Tri coaches turn to for advice. Contracted by ITU from 2005 to 2007, Brendon helped train up to 30 professional full time Triathlon coaches.
As a Triathlon NZ high performance coach he coached elite athletes preparing for the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games, and helped develop the level 2 and 3 (Olympic level) qualifications that other coaches aspire to achieve.
Brendon has a post-graduate background in sport science, and qualified as a Level Two Tri coach in 1996. He also received the Full Prime Ministers Coaching Scholarship in 2003.
He knows what it takes both professionally and personally – Brendon has been a New Zealand elite team member and was himself New Zealand Triathlon Champion in 1991, so don’t pass up this opportunity to be coached personally by the best.
What Our Clients Say!
I started working with Brendon back in 2004 with focus on Ironman, his advice and guidance helped take 60mins of my previous best. Better still was his continued help over the years which lead to further 45mins reduction in my PB in Ironman 2008 which lead to a Kona World Champs qualification spot and an awesome race / experience over there.
Along the way have been PB’s in Half Ironman and Marathon’s. Over the years I have valued Brendon’s advice in all areas of fitness – training, technique, injury management, race strategy, core strength, etc. I have no hesitation in recommending Brendon to athletes of any ability.
